Quick launch Icon

[Dick Mahar]

I just discovered that the Desktop icon has vanished from my Quick Launch
taskbar. I am not having much luck getting it back. I right click on the QL
taskbar, and when I open the quicklaunch folder, only the Internet explorer icon
is there. I need to find the desktop icon and place it in the quicklaunch
folder. No luck so far. TIA.......Dick M.

You can create a new shortcut on the desktop then drag it to the
quicklaunch.
Right click the desktop, select, New, shortcut, etc.

You might have the vertical bar too far to the left hiding the icon. Unlock
the task bar and try moving the bar.
