Hi
I recently got a laptop but I accidentally deleted the "Clear desktop" or "Show the desktop" icon at the taskbar. I could not find it anywhere (I think it should be somewhere but I don't know how to find it)
Could anyone help direct me to the location? I've always liked to use that particular function and now I feel really uncomfortable without it
thnx a million

Restore Show Desktop Icon to Quick Launch on Taskbar
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.
