Well, Brad.............. You said it. Apparently you *don't understand*
that you can put a "Show Desktop" icon in the Quick Launch Bar and get to
the desktop with only one click, even with "a bunch of apps already
running."

I've been doing that for ages. It's still an extra step, plus
double-clicking a Desktop icon (3 clicks vs. 2 "my" way). That's why
they invented the Start Menu in the first place. It was supposed to be
an improvement over Win3.x - and it is if you give it a chance. I like
reading full shortcut titles, also. Lots of other subtle reasons for
it.

I suppose my number one reason is that I like looking at unfettered
wallpaper. I wouldn't put sticky notes all over a living room window..
