Restore "Show Desktop" Icon

"Show Desktop" icon is very handy and useful while you are working with many of the windows. And there might be cases where we might have accidentally deleted the icon. Then here is the way to restore it back in no time.

* Change the Folder options so that the hidden folders are shown.

* Navigate to "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch".

Where User - username of the desktop user.

Note: The folder "Application Data" is Hidden.

Now you can see the icon show dessktop. Create a copy and place it in the taskbar.

OR

You can even alternatively try this method -

* Open Notepad and type in the following piece:

[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop


* Save the file as "Show Desktop.scf" (without quotes)

* Now you have the shortcut. Just drag the icon to the task bar.
