I lost the "Reduce all windows" icon in the taskbar of XP
and for the life of me, I am unable to find it
again. "Help" doesn't answer the question.

Got a cure? Thanks.
 
That was a great idea, and I really appreciate it.

Better yet, though, your direction to save it as a *.scf
file inspired me to search the Windows directory for *scf
file, and right there was "Show Desktop" with its icon!

I just dragged and copied it to the task bar, and it's
back to normal.

I'll remember your suggestion, though. Similar problems
will arise, sooner or later.

Thanks again!

Hi Dan,

Manual Edit:

Copy and paste the five lines below into Notepad.

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

Then save it as Show Desktop.scf and drag it to your quick launch bar.

Automated Edit:

Restore/Add Show Desktop to Quick Launch (Line 61)
