I’ve got a friend asking me how to restore the “Show Desktop” icon back to quick launch on taskbar if accidentally deleted?
I really have no idea how to do it at first other than copying the “Show Desktop” icon from another computer. It works! But what if you do not have another computer with you that time? Here’s how you can MANUALLY create the “Show Desktop” icon.
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.
Easy isn’t it?

Más fácil aún… Hacer click en Inicio > Ejecutar y pegar la siguente linea: regsvr32 /n /i:U shell32 y Aceptar. Luego reiniciar windows y al reiniciar estará el ícono en la barra de inicio rápido
Saludos!

this does the trick..but all the icons in the quick launch bar are shortcuts so you cannot delete it from your desktop. Drag it to somewhere like C:\Windows\ and send the shortcut there.
