"Show desktop" icon has vanished.
Hi, Peter.
Have you tried just running your mouse pointer off the screen at the right end of the Taskbar? If you hold the mouse there, your Desktop should appear - but disappear when you move the mouse - unless you click the mouse to switch to the Desktop. Like so many other things in Windows, this behavior is configurable - and you can learn a lot by just exploring. Or, in this case, Search for "peek desktop", although the term "peek" is not very intuitive. to me. RC -- R. C.

Try search advanced system settings, then do performance settings, then enable
peek. Then click at the end of taskbar. "Peter Jason" escreveu na mensagem ... Win8.1 The shortcut on the taskbar to show the desktop has vanished. Can I get this back? Peter |

Hi, again, Peter.
On your Modern screen, move your Desktop time to the upper left position. From on, just press Enter to go to that first tile, your Desktop. Or, just use the Windows logo icon on the Taskbar - or press the Windows key - to toggle back and forth from Modern to Desktop. RC -- R. C.

It was there when I loaded Win8.1 and when I chose my own suite of colors for borders/desktop/menus etc. But with this new color selection IE11 stopped showing thumbnails in all but a neutral grey. Trial and mainly error showed I could get these thumbnails back by selecting one of the default Win8.1 color schemes, a hideous orange one for the desktop and associated better ones for all else. I want the desktop color in a soft neutral green without any patterns and noveaux-kitsch arty schemes. Is there any way to do this (I've tried the ''personalization area'') because this might solve the goto- desktop icon at the bottom right of the taskbar. Peter |
