I tried opening the "Show desktop" file in notepad thats in quicklaunch,
this is what I see

[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop


Any way to create a button to Open the desktop instead of My documents?

Here you go barry, just download this file and have road runner run it. It opens explorer.exe then immediately sends you to the desktop.

and dont worry its virus-free

Thanks Shaun

Can you make it close out the explorer bar too

Tried to figure it out in Autoit.. Im no programmer

whats the explorer bar? The thing on the left side of the explorer box? if so can do

i revised it.. download from the same link

Thanks! Mind posing your audit script so I can see how you did this?

Last request .. View My Computer instead, and as icons

updated again . and all i'm doin is sending key to the explorer window:
Run("C:\Windows\explorer.exe")
WinWaitActive("My Documents")
Send("{LEFT}")
Send("{Down}")
Send("{Tab}")
Send("{Tab}")
Send("{Tab}")
Send("{space}")
Send("{APPSKEY}")
send("{V}")
send("{n}")

LOL, it takes me to the recycle bin

ok when you open explorer.exe and see the explorer bar whats the order of the folders? It should only go down once... from my documents to my computer. My also have soemthing to do with the speed the events are happening. You're using an epia right?
