quick launch icons

[Guest]

My "show desktop" icon disappeared from the quick launch toolbar. I have not
been able to satisfactorly bring it back. Creating a desktop shortcut only
takes me to the folder under my user's name and shows the icons and not the
desktop. This is in Service Pack 2. I have had SP2 for over a month and the
icon disappeared within the last week.

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" with the quotes, then drag and drop
the icon on the Quick Launch bar or whatever location you want the shortcut
to appear.
