This utility will allow you to quickly and easily restore the Show Desktop icon to your Quick Launch bar. This utility is freeware

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 then drag and drop the icon on the Quick Launch bar.

@GO_Games, you have not posted many posts.Your post count is mere 27. So you are a Fresh Stock. If you
make 100 posts or more you get the title ' Broken In'. If your posts are more than 500 , you get the 'Alpha
Geek' title and so on.
