For a long time I was frequently switching between Windows 7 and XP, so, I suffered more than most, never being able to adapt.
Eventually most of the computers I dealt with were migrated to Windows 7. Then I decided to clean up my work area and throw out some old papers. I can't recall if I had tried the specific suggestion in the article, but I had tested many others.
When Windows 7 was new, I had tried and tried but the best I could do was trade the vertical gray stripe for the old icon. For the life of me, I couldn't get the icon to live on the far left of the Taskbar. The advice in this particular article also failed. It explained how to create a file called "Show Desktop.
Perhaps because I now viewed this as a puzzle rather than a problem, I took a deep breath and thought about it. They got there via the Pin to Taskbar feature of Windows 7. Perhaps I could use Taskbar pinning for the "Show Desktop. I tried on my own without success. Windows 7 only allows the pinning of executable programs. The article is undated, but is at least three years old and written by someone who identifies themselves only as Yadon. I had no interest in pinning a folder to the Taskbar, but the article offered the missing piece to my puzzle nonetheless.
The trick involves creating a fake EXE file and pinning that to the Taskbar. Select the WordArt text that you want to add a shadow to. Text Effects icon , point to Shadow, and then click the shadow you want. Go to Advanced Tab. Select performance. Click settings. Home » Windows.
