Restore Show Desktop Icon to Quick Launch on Taskbar
Have you ever mangaed to loose the desktop icon in your quick launch?
Luckily, i managed to find a really easy way of getting back. Origionally i thought there would be an easier solution to this, but this works so just thought i would share.
If the Show Desktop icon is deleted from Quick Launch, the procedure below will recreate the file.
Open Notepad and enter the following text:

IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
Save the new file as Show Desktop.scf then drag and drop the icon on the Quick Launch bar or whatever location you want the shortcut to appear.
