Anyone know how can I add a shortcut to the launch bar to "show desktop"?
OS is XP
Thanks

You can go to the toolbar and right click where there is no icon and choose
toolbar, the only problem is that unlike Win98 or other systems that then
take you to the desktop this will show you all of the icons on the desktop
in a list form. Until you presented the problem I didn't know this and also
don't know if you can actually get the desktop itself instead of the list.

Hi,

Manual Edit:

Copy and paste the five lines below into Notepad.

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

Then save it as Show Desktop.scf and drag it to your quick launch bar.

Automated Edit:

Restore/Add Show Desktop to Quick Launch (Line 61)
