Restore the "Show Desktop icon" in XP

This small icon on the Quick Launch bar is very handy when you need to access a program or document from your desktop.

However sometimes people loose this icon It can accidentally be deleted or you might loose it for some other reason but only a few people know how to restore it this is because it is not an ordinary shortcut.

To restore it:

• Click start>>Run
• In the open box type "notepad" (without the quotes)
• click ok
• Copy the following lines in your new notepad window :

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

• Then click "file" in the notepad menu and select "save as"
• Save the file to your desktop as Show Desktop.scf
• Drag the new icon from your desktop to your Quick Launch toobar and select "Move here"

Now the icon should have been restored to your Quick Launch bar if not then just leave a comment and i will get back to you:)
