Why is it all the heck over there??

Ok, so because I purchased my laptop in September from the Sony store, I got a free upgrade to windows seven. It looked a bit cooler from what I had seen of it on other computers, so I said why not. It's also an operating system worth about a hundred and sixty or so. I ordered it, and then finally got around to installing it.

I had some programs open and then needed to open a file. A file, which is conveniently on my desktop, because I access it so much. First thing I go to click is the "To Desktop" button that was conveniently provided with Vista. It wasn't there. In Vista, it was located in the taskbar right next to the Start button. But it wasn't there.

Crap. It was one of my favorite buttons in Vista, I used it ALL THE TIME. So, I sighed and then individually closed all the programs to get the the folder and continued on with my work.

I had to do that a few times and got so fed up, I went hunting. It must have been a button that was off, or just not pinned to the taskbar. Then, I found some place in my computer that said something along the lines of "clicking the desktop button will allow you to peek at the desktop." Wait, what? There is a desktop button? WHERE IS IT!!

Ok, I then noticed this little white line one the RIGHT side of the bottom bar. Could this be the sought after desktop button? Sure enough, I scrolled over it and sure enough, it read "Show Desktop." My firs reaction was "YES!" A second passed and my next thought was, "Why the heck is it ALL THE WAY OVER THERE!?"

It's on the complete opposite side of the bottom bar and right next to the notifications. Not next to the quick launch buttons on the taskbar. It was good where it was, so why was it way over there?
