Show the Desktop

[MAVERICKS CHOICE]

I was experiencing losing the quick launch desktop icon Show Desktop when doing a ua install, but found something to overcome the problem. Maybe of interest to some?

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

Simply open up your text editor & create the above save the file as Show Desktop.scf (or any other name, provided that you include the .scf filename extension) anywhere you like, including on the desktop. To have the icon appear on your Quick Launch toolbar, place the file in the \Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch folder.Then I simply sfx it & run it as part of my cleanup.cmd

Cheers

Yes Thanks Muiz , I know that but some reason in my ua of late is not showing after turning on QL. Don't know if its an update pack prob or what but was a quick fix for me atm.

@ Slimzky

Yeah never remove IE at all or any quicklaunch items, only use NLite to remove old drivers basically & not much else very safe I think?
