Restore Show Desktop Icon in Quick Launch

[sara]

Hi,
I'm using windows xp, and foolishly or accidentally i deleted the Show Desktop icon in the quick launch bar. Trying to restore it but not finding a successful way. If someone know please give me proper reply.

Thanks in advance.

To re-create the Show desktop icon yourself, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type notepad in the Open box, and then click OK.
   
   
2. Carefully copy and then paste the following text into the Notepad window:
   

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

3. On the File menu, click Save As, and then save the file to your desktop as "Show desktop.scf". The Show desktop icon is created on your desktop.
   
   
4. Click and then drag the Show desktop icon to your Quick Launch toolbar.

Click Start > Run...

Type regsvr32 /n /i:U shell32

Click the OK button.

The Show Desktop icon should now be displayed on the Quick Launch bar.

Note: You may need to reboot for the icon to reappear.

I needed the show desktop icon on the quick launch toolbar since I am really very much used to that icon.
