okay, on my laptop i put that little "Show the Desktop" button on my taskbar so when class starts i can easily minimize everything. I am trying to get it on my desktop and i cant seem to add it byt right clicking the taskbar.

You have to drag the "Quick Launch" out....

Know what I mean? When you put your mouse over those dots next to the Start button, you should be able to get a sideways arrow and drag it to the right

Nothing gets by you though, eh?

Can't fool me! I was actually just assuming you were on dial-up or something right now, so you saved the screenshots as low-quality as possible to save bandwidth. lishrugli

And don't worry, once you get married and get used to seeing maxi pads under the bathroom sink, and tampons in the garbage, a pink color scheme doesn't phase you. ;)

whoa whoa, wait a minute....

I dragged and dropped it into the taskbar..... but when i delete the file from the desktop, it doesnt work (obviously).

So i have to have a copy of it on my desktop now???? WTF, there has to be another way.

Why are so many ppl her pervs???? Yeah, it's a dumb name, but I wasn't too concerned w/ my FiPG alias and how cool it was. I come here to waste time, and get some free stuff along the way. I guess I'm a dork overall, but that's what I like about myself )

heh, nothing like reinforcing a point that no one else (including me) picked up on.

but then again, no one should be tasked with doing their own research.
