Clear screen button in taskbar

[Guest]

Hello! I accidentally erased the clear screen button (the one that looks like
a pad of paper with a pen on it) from my taskbar. I have Windows 2000. Does
anyone know how to get that shortcut back in quick launch toolbar on the
taskbar?

Thanks!

Create a file named "Show Desktop.scf" paste this text in the file save it,
then drag it to the Quick Launch bar.

[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop

Do a search for "show desktop.scf" (include the quotes). There's normally
one for each user defined on the system. (If you have only one user
defined, you have more problems than just a missing shortcut.) If you
find one, copy it to folder "%UserProfile%\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch".

If the search fails, copy the following five lines, paste them into
Notepad, and save as "%UserProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Quick Launch\Test Desktop.scf" (include the quotes).
