Creating the show desktop icon in Windows

Active Desktop includes a feature that allows one to minimize all active Windows, so one can easily access the icons on the desktop. The feature is called “Show Desktop” and is accessed through an icon on the Quicklaunch bar.

If the icon “Show Desktop” is missing in your Quicklaunch bar, then you can restore / recover / repair / recreate it again by making a TEXT-file with the following contents:

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

Save the file as “Show Desktop.scf” into following folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
