Lost my "Show Desktop" icon

[Simon I]

Help, please

I have just accidentally deleted the Show Desktop icon
form my Quick Launch toolbar.

Can any-one tell me how to get it back?

thanks in advance

Alternately, search for the file named showdesktop.scf in your computer by
logging in as administrator. Every user has a copy of this file. Copy it to
your userprofile path here:
C:\Documents and Settings\<<YOUR USER NAME>>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Sadly I had deleted the file itself. The search for
showdesktop.scf did not find any files on my PC.

But when I searched for "Desktop" I found one
called "Show Desktop" in C:\Documents and
Settings\Default User\Application
>Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Whn I clicked on it, it showed the Desktop. I guess that
I can just copy this file to my own Quick Launch folder.

many thanks
