Creating a Desktop Shortcut in Internet Explorer

To quickly create a desktop link to a favorite web address in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you can choose File, Send, “Shortcut to Desktop”.

What is the desktop? The desktop is the screen that you first see when you open your computer, the place where all your program shortcuts are. Usually you will see “my computer” “my documents” etc.

To clear the desktop with one click and minimize all the programs to the bottom of the taskbar (next to the start button) then click this button which I like to call the ‘boss button’ for when the boss comes into the room.

Display the Quick Launch Bar

If you have opened more than one program, you might like to display and use the Quick Launch bar. The Quick Launch bar makes it easy to access frequently used programs like Windows Media Player and your e-mail, and to open an Internet Explorer window. Windows XP loads several programs in the Quick Launch, including Show Desktop. One click on Show Desktop minimizes all the programs on your desktop. Another click restores them just as you left them.

To show Quick Launch on the taskbar
1. If the Quick Launch bar is not displayed, right-click an empty area on the taskbar (the whole bar after the start button) and click Properties.

2. On the Taskbar tab, under Taskbar appearance, select the Show Quick Launch check box and click OK.
After Quick Launch is displayed, click Show Desktop to minimize all open programs.
