According to W2000 Help, there should be an icon in the Quick Launch toolbar that minimizes all the open windows.

It’s not there on my setup.

Is there some way to install it?

Thanks,
Ian.

Yes, but it isn’t there! There are only the IE and Outlook Express icons on the Quick Launch taskbar.

The link goes to “F:Documents and SettingsDaveAApplication DataMicrosoftInternet ExplorerQuick Launch” being that I have Win2K on F drive.
See if you have a similar link for your logged in account

Getting closer …

My version of that folder (C:Documents and SettingsiansApplication DataMicrosoftInternet ExplorerQuick Launch) just has the IE and OE icons.

Can you please tell me the target of the Minimize Windows shortcut in your folder “F:Documents and SettingsDaveAApplication DataMicrosoftInternet ExplorerQuick Launch”

Thanks

Unfortunately, it is not a straightforward ‘target’ – see below.
Check the contents of the same folder, but in the administrator ‘Docs and Settings’ profile – you may have the shortcut there which you can copy across.

Thanks, Leif. The shortcut was indeed in the Adminstrator folder and I copied it successfully.

Problem solved!

Best wishes and thanks again
Ian.
