"Show Desktop" missing from Quick Launch

Windows 2000

Somehow the "Show Desktop" icon on my Quick Launch bar was removed. How
can I get it back?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

It seems there are many relevant results in a "recreate show desktop
icon" search at www.google.com.

Copy the following into a text editor (Notepad):

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


Save it as "Show Desktop.scf" (ensure that you select "All files" in
Notepad) and save it in:

C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Quick Launch

I'm sure you could copy it out of Default User in C:\Documents and Settings
as well but since I've just gone and found the above out I wasn't about to
delete it :->

Hope that sorts you out!
