    Just got my first laptop Inspiron 1750. This is a very basic question but I can't figure it out.

    What I want to be able to do is (with the computer on and lid closed) open the lid and go directly to the desktop.

    Currently when opening the lid, I have to click on the Dell icon first and then it goes to the desktop.

    Is there a way to get around this?
