The other day I deleted the show desktop icon off of my Quick Launch icon bar. Now, I'm sort of having second thoughts. If I were, say, to restore it how would I go about doing that? I mean, let's pretend that I don't know how to do it ;)

Thanks in advance.

You make the shortcut manually. Open up Notepad, and type in the following:

[Shell]
Command2
IconFileexplorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
CommandToggleDesktop

Now save this as "Show Desktop.txt" to any folder. Then change the file extension form .txt to .scf (you may have to turn on Shwo Extensions in Windows Explorer/Folder Options). Finally, click and drag it onto the quick launch bar. Presto!
