Title: Desktop Display Bar: How to Display?
Post by: program not responding on January 27, 2010, 03:00:27 PM

Dear Forum,
I ran across a really neat feature yesterday by mistake, and I can't figure out how I did it. It displayed a vertical list of all my desktop items. This would be really useful while I have numerous windows open and need to access a desktop item. Does anyone know how to display it?
Thanks so much!
Sincerely,
Mike

 Sounds like software provided by the computer manufacturer like Dell Dock provided by Dell. Who manufactured the computer?
 Winky+D will minimize all open applications to the taskbar taking you directly to the desktop.
 Or, you can right-click on the taskbar and select Toolbars and place a checkmark beside Desktop. This will place a Desktop arrow on your taskbar with a menu of your desktop.

Cruisin: That was it! The toolbar arrow.
Thanks so much!
