I had it gone too, but there's a way to get it back, like here it's explained: http://www.petri.co.il/forums/archive/index.php?t-288.html and no I didn't had IE7. Something I noticed, even though I don't delete/remove "send to -> desktop (create shortcut)" option, it is still gone like is the Show desktop button. Wonder what component/service or other thing removes it, if it isn't that tweak/patch option where I let it still be. Tweaks -> General settings -> Explorer and there is "Remove Send to on context menu". There's a way to restore it also, but with nLite'd XP those trickd didn't helped, said they can't find something etc. Wonder does anyone know about this, would help me. I think it's a bit easier to use Send To menu than create the shortcut, then moving it to Desktop. Edit: Oh what I used to do, was I made that Show Desktop icon/button and saved it on to CD too so I was able to quickly copy it to my Win\System folder.. just a note if ppl can't find out what removes it
