Hello,
I have moved this thread over to the Windows section, because it is an OS issue.
You should be able to control the situation from the Monitors control panel. As far as your desktop icons, it depends on what "mode" you have XP running under. If you have the new style, then only the Recycle Bin shows. If you can right-click on the task bar, choose properties, and then select the Start Menu tab, you should be able to set up Classic View, and things will appear like they did in Windows 2000.
If you do not see the Taskbar at all, then you have Explorer issues.
