In the first tip, we showed you how to get to the Windows Desktop by
hovering over or clicking on the new transparent zone in the lower-right
corner of the screen—a.k.a., the Aero Peek feature. But perhaps you
access your Windows Desktop constantly, or it contains lots of nested
folders that are home to your everyday working files. You can get
fast-click access to them from the taskbar without minimizing all your
windows and losing your place.
You’ll have to set this up, though. Right-click on the taskbar, and choose Properties, to launch the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog. Under the Toolbars tab, check off the Desktop button.
Hit OK, and a mini-menu called “Desktop” appears in the
taskbar, followed by two angle brackets (>>). Click it, and you’ll
see all of the items on your Windows Desktop, complete with nesting
folders. Now it’s easy to access anything on your Windows Desktop
without having to navigate back to it. Especially useful: The Computer
entry in this menu lets you browse your PC’s entire drive-and-folder
hierarchy from here (including any networked drives).
