Just drag
down to the taskbar and hover the file over the minimized
application button you want to restore. Although you can??™t
drop files on the buttons themselves, if you wait a second or
two, Windows will restore the application window, at which
point you can drag the file over to the window and drop it.
Icons on the taskbar
Right-click an empty area of the taskbar, select Toolbars, and then
select Desktop. By default, the toolbar will probably be smushed up
against the notification area (tray) and the clock, so right-click the taskbar
again and turn off the Lock the Taskbar option so you can move the
Desktop toolbar around. Next, right-click the Desktop title and select
the Show Text option to fit more icons on the bar. It??™s not the most
convenient interface, especially if you have a lot on your desktop, but
it??™s there if you need it.
Save Your Desktop Layout
Let me guess: you sneezed and Windows rearranged your desktop icons.
This happens for a variety of reasons, most commonly any time Windows
changes the screen resolution (often for games), when you update your display
settings, or when you install a new video card driver. But it??™ll also happen
whenever you use the Magnifier tool that comes with Vista, or when
you change the desktop icon size (discussed next). Regardless of the trigger,
it??™s a petty annoyance we all could do without.
There are a variety of tools designed to combat this problem, but most have
died out for one reason or another.
