- Show Desktop icon
- Posted by Dodger Jim on March 23rd, 2006
Where do you find the "Show Desktop" icon when it doesn't appear in the Quick
Launch toolbar? How do you add it to the Quick Launch toolbar? Thank you!

The Show Desktop icon in the Quick Launch toolbar isn't a normal shortcut.
If you accidentally delete it,you can't recreate it the way you would a
shortcut to a program. Instead, launch Notepad and type these lines:
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
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.

Type the following text into Notepad:

and save it as C:\Documents and Settings\<yourusername>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Show Desktop.scf

You don't really need the icon. The winkey + d keyboard shortcut performs
the same function. But if you HAVE to have the icon, the previous posts will
work for you.
