'Show Desktop' icon missing from QuickLaunch

[eKing]

Anybody knows how I can reinstall the 'Show Desktop' icon in the QuickLaunch (at the foot of the desktop)? Thanks!

Open up a wordpad and copy the following into it

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

and save it as

Show Desktop.scf


IF it shows up as
Show Desktop.scf.txt then rename and remove the .txt

IF it shows up as
Show Desktop.scf then go to
-Control Panel
-Folder Options
-View tab
- Uncheck Hide extensions for known file types

It should now appear to say Show Desktop.scf.txt
Remove the .txt and wallah, it shouldn't matter where that file is (Mines in My Documents) just drag it from there to you Quick Launch

* You have to remove the .txt to stop it from just being a text document *

You can then change the icon of the one in the Quick Launch, just right click "Change Icon" press Ok when it asks you to select from the following list, and it should opn up a folder where you can find the right one
