I lost my button that was on the taskbar to minimize all. I used that button all the time and I know I didn't delete it. Anyways, it's gone. How can I get it back?

Right click on an empty part of the bar, select toolbars & click on quick launch. Make sure you click lock taskbar when finished.

cyberlantz,
I'm asuming that you mean the Show Desktop icon in the Quick Launch area of your Taskbar. Do the following.

Show Desktop Icon is Missing

Copy and paste the five lines below into Notepad.

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

Then save it as Show Desktop.scf and drag it to your quick launch bar.

Additionally, there is the option to use Win+M to Minimize All.
