How can I get a "Show Desktop" icon for my taskbar?

[Guest]

I think I deleted my old one, and need to get it again.

Open up your notepad program (or equivalent)

Copy this:-

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

and then paste it into Notepad.

Save it with this file name:-

Show Desktop.scf

into this folder:-

C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /n /i:U shell32
