Is it possible that my cmos battery is too weak? Thank You and Good Day!

Yes, this problem is usually caused by a weak or dead CMOS battery. It could be a virus, but chances are higher that your battery has failed. Replacing them is simple; you can just go to your local Radio Shack with the old battery and buy one identical to it so you can replace the old one. Then, synchronize your clock with the time.windows.com or time.nist.gov server in the clock’s properties and you’ll be good to go. :)

How do I add the "show desktop" icon to my quick launch toolbar?

Manual steps to re-create the Show Desktop icon on the Quick Launch toolbar
The Show Desktop icon is not an ordinary program shortcut. If the icon is deleted, the procedure for re-creating the icon is not obvious. To manually re-create the Show Desktop icon, follow these steps:
1.Click Start , click Run, type notepad, and then click OK.
2.In Notepad, type the following text on individual lines:
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
3.On the File menu, click Save As, and then save the file to your desktop as Show Desktop.scf.

Note Notepad might automatically append a .txt extension to the file name. Remove this extension if present. The file name should be Show Desktop.scf.
The file must now be moved to the correct folder in the user profile to appear in the Quick Launch toolbar. To manually do this, use one of the following methods.
Method 1
1.Use the mouse to drag the Show Desktop.scf icon to the Quick Launch toolbar or another location where you want the shortcut to appear.
2.Click Move Here.
Method 2
1.Use Windows Explorer to locate the following folders:

Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 98
Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Microsoft Windows NT, Microsoft Windows 2000, and Microsoft Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Note Username refers to the account name where you want to put the icon.
2.Use the mouse to drag the Show Desktop.scf file to the Quick Launch folder.
3.Click Move Here.
Note By default, the Application Data folder for Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP is a hidden folder. You may have to unhide this folder by using the Advanced Settings in Internet Explorer. Click the Show hidden files and folders option.

WinXP Desktop: Toolbar has moved to the rt side, want it back on the bottom!?

Posted in: Desktop Toolbar |

The WinXP Start toolbar on my girlfriends laptop has moved (all by itself) to the right vertical side of the screen, and she wants it back at the bottom horizontal part of the screen. Have tried rightclicking, dragging and properties, all with no success. Any ideas how to get it back to were it was? Thanks!

Rightclick and see if "Lock Taskbar" is checked. If it is, uncheck it. After you do that, you should be able to left click and hold, then simply drag it to the bottom of the screen.

How Do You put your toolbar at the bottom of Desktop?

Posted in: Desktop Toolbar |

My grandchildren were playing games on my laptop… and when I opened it the next day the toolbar was on the left side of the desktop? I want it back on the bottom where it belongs! I have Windows VISTA.

You probably mean the Windows taskbar (the bar with the green start button). Minimize or close any open windows so that your desktop is clear. Move your mouse to an open area on the taskbar and then click (hold) and drag the taskbar to the bottom of the screen and release the mouse. Right click an empty area on the taskbar and click Lock the Taskbar.
