Getting back the Windows show desktop icon
December 15th, 2008
I recently worked on a computer that the user had lost the Show Desktop icon from the quick launch menu in Windows Vista. After trying to fix it in the OS I turned to Google and found a great article about how to fix the problem from Microsoft. It involves opening notepad and pasting some code and saving the file as desktop.scf
The code to be pasted:
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
