Help, please

I have just accidentally deleted the Show Desktop icon
form my Quick Launch toolbar.

Can any-one tell me how to get it back?

thanks in advance
 
Sadly I had deleted the file itself. The search for
showdesktop.scf did not find any files on my PC.

But when I searched for "Desktop" I found one
called "Show Desktop" in C:\Documents and
Settings\Default User\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
Click to expand...

Whn I clicked on it, it showed the Desktop. I guess that
I can just copy this file to my own Quick Launch folder.

many thanks

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
