"show desktop" icon stopped working

My "show desktop" icons stops working. I have to reboot to get it back
but at some point it fails again. When it fails, I also cannot
doubleclick files/folders on my desktop. Very strange issue. Anyone
seen this?

thanks.

Hello C,

You might see if creating a new "Show Desktop" shortcut to see if it
will work better for you.

However, "Show Desktop" is part of Aero. When it stops working for you,
do any of the other Aero features still work? For example: Flip 3D and
glass transparency. If so, then it may be a issue with your graphics
card drivers. Uninstalling and reinstalling them, or updating to a newer
version, may help if this is the case.

Hope this helps for now,
Shawn

Hi Brink, it took a while for this problem to happen again, but Aero
appears to be working fine.

Show desktop is broken again, I can't click on anything on the
desktop, but I can still use Flip 3D without issue.

Any suggestions?

thanks.
