    I have the Show Desktop Icon in the Task Bar in Win XP, But the program does not work. When I clck on the Show Desktop Icon it “blinks” but the open windows do not disappear to reval the desktop . How do I enabe the Show Desktop Program associated with this icon? (Evidently, something in the registry must have been deleted when I ran various “registry Cleaners”. Please advise. Thank you

    I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
