That would also solve the problem of having to view the desktop before clicking on it. Another way to make it single-click would be to drag the shortcut to the QuickLaunch bar.

How is "less RAM to Viruses to poorly designed applications" ANY fault of Windows. I can't remember the last time Windows crashed and it was not the fault of hardware, an application or some driver.

I'm no expert, so i wasn't sure where to put it, so I had to change the shortcut to include the full path eg <b> c:\taskkill.exe /f /fi “status eq not responding”</b>. There was probably a better way of doing this.
