Hello,

I have Windows Server 2003 Enterprise edition on my PC.
The Desktop icon in the Quick Launch bar next to Start
button accidentally got deleted.

I managed to get the desktop icon on the quick launch bar
by right clicking on the bar, opening the folder, adding a
new shortcut, and selecting 'Desktop'. This adds the
desktop icon, but when I click on it, it opens a new
window showing the desktop items.

I want the original functionality which minimises all open
windows, and shows the desktop.

If anyone knows how to do it, please let me know.

Thanks,
Richa.
