Somehow I've lost my 'Show Desktop' button on the quicklaunch bar. How do I get it back??

start>run>Format c:
When asked to confirm hit yes
While your system is formating go to your local computer store and buy windows 2000

I recommend WinXP or Linux

hehe, I love that button too http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif

Maybe this will help, when I click "properties" the button is linked to "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Show Desktop.scf"

and I think you'll have to add the shortcut here for it to be shown on your desktop:

C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

I hope this info helps you out a bit ...

Just use the keyboard shortcut - Windows-M

Cheers,

The icon is placed in c:\windows\system and you can simply copy the icon to C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

It should work - works here

Rgs Mr Woody.

Thanks Viper and Mr Woody,

That worked! I simply dragged-copied the icon on the quicklaunch bar.

Backov, windows-M is good, but its difficult to use when I've a cup of coffee in one hand and the mouse in the other.
