Someone else wrote: Hello All - I just got XP, and have
no 'go to the desktop'
icon on the taskbar to quickly go back there. Was this
removed in XP, or is this just a bug of some sort ? Can
it
be restored ? I sure hate minimizing all those windows !!1
thank you

I'm ready to throw this XP out the window. Can anyone
solve this for me!

If all else fails, for me the "windows" key + m minimizes all open windows.
