Lifsoft ShowDesktop

The “Show Desktop” taskbar button was a handy feature specific to the Windows XP operating system helping people quickly access their files. Sadly, the button has been removed, or better said, relocated and reshaped on newer Windows operating systems, due to the fact that pressing the lower right corner of your screen will display your desktop screen.

Thanks to certain applications, such as Lifsoft ShowDesktop can bring back a small part of Windows XP’s nostalgia, by enabling the “Show Desktop” taskbar button on newer operating systems, such as Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1.

Lifsoft ShowDesktop gives you the possibility to re-enable the “Show Desktop” button specific to Windows XP’s Quick Launch bar. The application can be installed on the spot, as launching it will pin the “Show Desktop” button to your taskbar instantly.

This way, you can clearly see it pinned on your taskbar, instead of having to use the lower right corner of your screen, which is not always so easy to target, because of its transparency.

Besides, the program can bring back a little nostalgia, by re-enabling one of the functions specific to the Windows XP operating system.
