How to restore "minimize desktop"

[alienationware]

I recently lost my quicklaunch "minimize desktop" thingy. Does any 1 know how to restore it? Should I recopy the file from another WinXP os? (But where to copy it to?)

Refreshing this in the bar's property will not restore its functionality either. Thanks.

Uh, thnx

Uh, thanks. But I generally don't use third party software for something as trivial as this. I prefer the hands-on method. Tho, I'll take your advice and research Google for advice.

TIP: Restore the Show Desktop shortcut on Quick Launch Bar

Copy and paste the following lines into a Notepad file.

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

Save the file to your Desktop as Show Desktop.scf. Next left click on the file you just created and drag it down to the Quick Launch bar and release.
