Help with quicklaunch icon that got deleted

[hondaman]

My quicklaunch desktop icon in the toolbar got deleted by accident. Now I
have no icon in the toolbar to click on and get back to my desktop screen
without having to minimize everything. If there a registry setting that
could restore that somehow so I can have that back I'd appreciate knowing
which registry key it is and what to modify in it. Thats feature a necessary
feature of windows for convenience and I'd like it fixed. Please respond
with any help you can give. To make it so bad I wanted to do a system
restore point but I must have left that turned off from a time when I had a
virus or something and never turned it back on so doing a restore is to fix
this isnt going to help. Thanks for any help you can give.

I don't know about the registry key, but have you tried
copying from a different user?
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Show Desktop

Hi there...
Have you tried this?
Your Quick Launch toolbar is missing from the task bar? Right click an empty
area on the task bar, click Toolbars, and then click Quick Launch. See if it
comes back for you. If not...try looking up how to get it back at google.com or
teoma.com.
Take Care...

Did you know the keyboard shortcuts winkey + d or winkey + m will minimize
all windows and show the desktop. Do it again to restore open windows.

Thanks for your help. There's a .sfc file that controls that you can make
using notepad and I don't know exactly where to place the .sfc file in winxp
so I made it and just put it in the system32 folder and made a shortcut to
it on my desktop and then renamed that to just plain Desktop and moved it to
the quicklaunch bar. Here's a website about it:
http://www.customize.org/forum/2820. If someone knows where that .sfc files
goes if it's not supposed to be in the system32 folder let me know. It's
working fine though where it is. Thanks for your help.
