I acicdentally deleted show desktop in my quick launch
list in Windows XP and emptied my recycle bin before I
realsed it.
How do I get it back?

Hi,
The information here from Doug Knox a Microsoft MVP will tell you how to get
the Show Desktop icon/shortcut back on your Quick Launch toolbar.

Herb,
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
