Jon:

"I got fed up with it to the point of abandoning it altogether and stuck the show desktop button in a toolbar back on the left where it should be."

Can I ask how you do this?

Thanks

windows 7 ultimate works fine , because is an windows xp sp2 6.1 , 7600 with vista themes
if you don't believe...
check gpedit.msc (this will not work in any vista version)
and see dxdiag command too

Who's brilliant idea was it to *lock* the stupid thing over there on the wrong side?

It's even more difficult when you have a dual monitor setup and can't rely on the right boundary when clicking on it

I got fed up with it to the point of abandoning it altogether and stuck the show desktop button in a toolbar back on the left where it should be.

I Hate hate hate that the show desktop button is in that corner.

Do this exercise with me: Without pickup up your arm, move your mouse to the bottom right corner. Move the mouse all the way to the right, then pull it down. Ive had friends all say this makes their hand feel cramped. Mine too. It's so uncomfortable I rather alt-tab to a small window and shake to access my desktop.

I hope that soon we are able to move it around the taskbar so it doesnt have to be in that corner...

I wonder if someone can make a hack with the Aero Peek and a Windows 7 theme, so that the Aero peek can be used with that rectangle, as well as a setting in the taskbar...but iirc, that would probably require explorer.exe hacking (and a few more files)...just a thought though.

Plus, if you turn on one of the Ease of Access themes, you will see the icon where the "Show Desktop" button is now in Windows 7.

It's not movable so I think this is an unfinished aspect of the Ease of access themes, which are horrid looking by the way.

Great Post!
