right-click anywhere in your desktop and use the menu to go to:

Desktop -> full enhanced desktop.. (you should see icons)

If you want to access you d: (win) drive (hda5 in Linux) go to the Wmapplication (in the dockingbar) Probably you see: floppy with under it 2 arrow-buttons and a strange swirly line. use the arrows to go to hda5 and click on the swirly line (this means that you have mounted dev/hda5 in the map: mnt/hda5). You can now double click on the hda5-drive-picture or start emelfm and go to: /mnt/hda5)

Good luck

What screen resolution do you use? If it is set to high the icons and task slit wont show...you have to set screen resolution lower (I have a laptop that wont go over 800x600 without loosing picture)

If you are using 0.8.+ it automatically boots into the enhanced desktop

you can mount thru shell by

Code Sample

/dev/hda1 (fat32 partiton)
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1

now you can cd into /mnt/hda1 just like its one of your linux partitions
