Now I've lost my 'show desktop' QL icon

[Bob H]

After losing the quick launch icons for shortcuts, I managed to replace them
albeit in a different place/location on the taskbar, now I have lost the
icon for 'show desktop'. duh!

Any ideas as to how I can get it back please?

Thanks

I just use Windowskey+D instead. It does the same thing.

A normal Win2K system should have the Show Desktop link in several
locations. (There are four on my system.) Do a search for "show
desktop.scf" WITH the quotes. If you find one, simply copy it to
D:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Quick Launch, adjusting the drive letter and {username} to fit
your system.

If you're living on the edge and have only one defined user, open Notepad
and paste the following lines into a new text file, saving it as "Show
Desktop.scf" in the folder mentioned above.

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