Tip 73: The Show Desktop tool is missing

The Show Desktop tool, usually part of the Quick launch bar, is not an ordinary program shortcut. If it is deleted, the procedure for re-creating it is not obvious. Follow these steps:

Open Notepad and type the following text:

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

Save the new file as Show Desktop.scf.

Drag the file’s icon to the Quick Launch bar or any other location where you want the shortcut to appear.
