Restore the Show Desktop icon to Quick Launch bar in Windows XP and Windows Vista
I accidentally deleted the Show Desktop icon which sits normally on the bottom left hand corner of the Taskbar. How do I restore the icon?
Method 1: Manually re-create the Show Desktop icon
Click Start, Run, and type
Notepad.exe. Copy the following contents to Notepad.
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
Save the file as
"Show Desktop.scf" (with quotes, in order to prevent Notepad from appending
.txt extension). Now, drag the file to the Quick Launch Toolbar.
Method 2: Using the Regsvr32 command
Click Start, Run and type the following command:
regsvr32 /n /i:U shell32.dll
The
Show Desktop icon file should be available now.
Method 3: Copy the file from another user account
Every user account will have a copy of
Show Desktop.scf file. Search for the file named
Show Desktop.scf in your computer by logging in as administrator. Copy it to your user profile path here:
%Appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
(Type the above path in
Start,
Run dialog)
