=====OR================================================
If the Show Desktop icon is deleted from Quick Launch,
the procedure below
will recreate the file.

Open Notepad and enter the following text:

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

Save the new file as Show Desktop.scf then drag and drop
the icon on the
Quick Launch bar or whatever location you want the
shortcut to appear.
=====OR=======================================
Alternately, search for the file named showdesktop.scf in
your computer by
logging in as administrator. Every user has a copy of
this file. Copy it to
your userprofile path here:

c:\Documents and Settings\<<YOUR USER NAME>>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
