Missing Windows “Show Desktop” shortcut icon

Posted on October 16, 2009 by Selinap

If you by mistake deleted the Windows “Show Desktop” shortcut icon in the QuickLunch, you can get it back by creating a text file named “Show Desktop.scf”, and drag it to the QuickLaunch.

This is the content of the “Show Desktop.scf” file, for Windows XP and Vista respectively.

Windows XP

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

Windows Vista

[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=shell32.dll,34
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
