Destop Icon has disappeared
Posted by Neville Denetto on September 13th, 2005


I used to have a Desktop icon on the Quick Launch bar. For some unknown
reason, it has disappeared. In its place I have a 'basic' microsoft icon.

The properties info tells me that it would look for Desktop.scf which
should be in:
C:\Documents and Settings\nd\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Quick Launch\Show Desktop.scf
It is not there, or anywhere on my computer.

Could someone please help me.

Thanks

Neville

Please help!

Copy & paste the below text to the file, rename the file to "Desktop.scf", then drag the file to
the taskbar.

***** <-- omit this line
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3

[Taskbar]

Keyboard shortcut:
Press the Windows logo key (next to your Alt key), along with "M"
(Also works with the "d" key)

Thank you . I now have the icon back again on my task bar. Also, the
shortcut keys work great.
