The Show Desktop icon is not an ordinary program shortcut. If the icon is deleted, the procedure for re-creating the icon is not obvious. To manually re-create the Show Desktop icon, follow these steps:\n1. Click Start , click Run, type notepad, and then click OK.\n2. In Notepad, type the following text on individual lines:\n[Shell]\nCommand=2\nIconFile=explorer.exe,3\n[Taskbar]\nCommand=ToggleDesktop\n3. On the File menu, click Save As, and then save the file to your desktop as Show Desktop.scf.\n\nNote Notepad might automatically append a .txt extension to the file name. Remove this extension if present. The file name should be Show Desktop.scf.\nThe file must now be moved to the correct folder in the user profile to appear in the Quick Launch toolbar. To manually do this, use one of the following methods.\n\n\n\n1.Use Windows Explorer to locate the following folders:\n\nMicrosoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 98\nWindows&#92;Application Data&#92;Microsoft&#92;Internet Explorer&#92;Quick Launch\n\nMicrosoft Windows NT, Microsoft Windows 2000, and Microsoft Windows XP\nC:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;Username&#92;Application Data&#92;Microsoft&#92;Internet Explorer&#92;Quick Launch\n\nNote Username refers to the account name where you want to put the icon.\n2.Use the mouse to drag the Show Desktop.scf file to the Quick Launch folder.\n3.Click Move Here.

First tell me what do you want to do??\nWindows XP is an operating system and not a partition of Hard Disk. Do you want to change the icon of the partition of the Hard Disk? If yes go to the properties of it and select the new icon of it.

right click on your start button and choose properties then set your start menu to xp style, you will see icons then.  also, if your task manager is not pulling up, you probably have to much stuff running in the background and your system is struggling with what little memory it has to work with.  Try this:  click on start>Run>type in the open field:  msconfig and click ok.  click on the startup tab at the top and disable all start-up items and then reboot.  i bet your task manager will open then.
