| | quick launch icon missing There were originally two icons next to each other in quick launch. One was show desktop and the other took all of the open windows and displayed them kinda on top of each other so that you could see a snapshot of what was open all at one time. That second icon is now missing. Can someone tell me how to get it back? Thanks TIA. |

I updated the tutorial links to show a better way to add them to Quick Launch without worrying about it losing it's association. See them for how. Sorry, Shawn |
