Quick Launch Toolbar

[Guest]

I accidently dragged my "show desktop" icon from the quick launcy toolbar, and onto my desktop. I didn't realize this, so I deleted the "show desktop" icon from my desktop, thinking that it would still be on the quick launch toolbar. Well now I no longer can use the show desktop icon because it says it can't locate the file. I'm wondering if there is anyway I can get this back? Thank-you

Every user has one. Look for the admins or guests.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

I know how frustrating that can be- once you delete it, it is gone. But not for good! Here's how to create a new one:

1.Open notepad and paste the following:

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

2.Save the file with the name Show Desktop.scf in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\ username\Application Data\ Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ Quick Launch, where username is replaced by your actual user account name.

That should do it!
