where did my quick launch desktop icon go?

Thats just it, I lost my quick launch desktop icon that is right next to the start button, how do I get it back there? I cant seem to find the short cut...

Thanks

right click taskbar -> toolbars -> choose quick launch

Or do you mean the button that makes everything minimize to take you to the desktop is missing from the quick launch?

the later, the button that makes everything minimize to take you to the desktop is missing from the quick launch

It is fairly easy to restore the "Show Desktop" button that usually resides in the Quick Launch toolbar, if you have removed it.

Open notepad and paste the following:

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

Save the file as "Show Desktop.scf" in C:\Documents and Settings\<YOURNAME>\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch where YOURNAME is the username of the account that is missing the icon.

ummmm when I get to the part that says your name I go to my name but in that folder there is no such thing as application data, you sure the path is correct?

you have to have "show hidden files and folders" enabled. In windows explorer go to Tools > folder options > the view tab

Mine is also at...
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

THANKS, I love how I can always depend on FileSharingTalk to solve all my problems big or small.... or very small

Tis a great place.
