Question:
I accidentally deleted the Show Desktop icon that used to sit at the bottom left
of my Quick Launch toolbar. Is it possible to restore it?
Answer:
Sure, this is a common occurrence. Since the Show Desktop icon isn't a normal
shortcut, it can't be restored the same way you would a shortcut to a program.
Instead, it will need to be re-created in Windows. Follow either of the two
simple procedures outlined below:
Method #1:
1. Launch Notepad (Start>> Run. Type in:
notepad.exe [Enter] or click OK), then copy and paste the following:
|[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop|
2. Save the file as: Show Desktop.scf
3. Save in: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\
Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
Note: Replace "username" with your actual account name.
Method #2:
1. Launch Notepad (Start>> Run: Type in:
notepad.exe [Enter] or click OK), then copy and paste the following:
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
2. Save the file to your Desktop and save it as Show Desktop.scf
3. Drag the file to the Quick Launch Toolbar and drop it.
Note: When saving this file, Notepad may place a .txt extension at the end of
the file name. Simply remove the .txt extension if this should occur.
