I deleted the "show desktop" icon of quick launch;
and can not find it in the recycle bin.
How can I get it back???

C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Check under that location, but use "default user" for %username% or you could try "All Users"

Default user is used to create the first profile.. That's the location of where the show desktop file is. It's somewhere in the C:\Windows directory.. but it has a different name and icon if I remeber.

or if you wanted to get nerdy..

Open Notepad and enter the following text:

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

Save the new file as Show Desktop.scf then drag and drop the icon on the Quick Launch bar or whatever location you want the shortcut to appear.

Thank you, Riser, for the <i>Show Desktop Icon for Dummies</i> explanation! ;)
