Go here:

C:\Documents and Settings\User(your name)\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Then create a shortcut of the quick launch icon and drag to the quick launch bar.

Sincerely,

Mr. Cheeks

I went there but it's not in there, Everything from my bar is but that one. Those are already shortcut too, so I guess it's gotta generate from somewhere else ?

Marty, Go to the link below and under the letter "S" scroll down to "Show Desktop Icon is Missing" where you'll find instructions for a manual method and a link to a reg fix which you can download & run.

Marty, The link works for me. Try to copy & paste the link below into your Address bar.

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm

Here's the manual instructions if you can't reach the site.

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.

Post back,

Tufenuf
