Does anyone know if there is a way to bring back the 'Desktop' icon? Win98
had it but XP seems to have dropped it. You could click on it in your tray
and it would minimize everything to show just your desktop.
I thought this was a handy little item and I'm going to miss it.

Create a text file in Notepad as follows:

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

Save it as Show Desktop.scf then drag it to the Quick launch bar.
Or just click on this link:

Restore/Add Show Desktop to Quick Launch (Line 61)

Also note that you can do this with a keyboard shortcut: the
combination of the Windows key + D or the Windows key + M.

Thanks for all the replies,guys! I believe I'll just use the Win+D. If
I'd known about that I wouldn't have even whined in the first place! :D
