I have deleted the show desktop shortcut accidentially
and empty the recycle bin as well.

How do I make the show desktop shortcut back on my PC?
 
It is in a folder similar to this
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick
Launch
It is a hidden folder. In folder options, view tab, tick show hidden files

Click to expand...
Copy and past the following lines into a Notepad window:

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

Save the file as Desktop.scf

NOTE: When typing in the file name enclose it in quote marks to force the
creation of the .SCF extension.

Place the new desktop.scf file into this folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\<your account>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

You can also get to the desktop via windowskey d. (The windows key is
between ctrl and alt, with the Microsoft flag.)
