I accidentally deleted the Show Desktop icon which sits normally on the bottom left hand corner of the Taskbar. How do I restore the icon? Answer The Show Desktop icon can be restored using any of these methods: Method 1: Using Guided Help to re-create the Show Desktop icon Here are the screenshots of Guided Help. ![]() ![]() Click Start, Run, and type Notepad.exe. Copy the following contents to Notepad. [Shell]Save the file as Show Desktop.scf. Now, drag the file to the Quick Launch Toolbar. (Notepad might automatically append a .txt extension to the file name. Remove this extension if present.) The file name should be Show Desktop.scf Method 3: Using the Regsvr32 command Click Start, Run and type the following command: regsvr32 /n /i:U shell32.dllThe Show Desktop icon file should be available now. Method 4: Copy the file from another user account Every user account will have a copy of Show Desktop.scf file. Search for the file named Show Desktop.scf in your computer by logging in as administrator. Copy it to your user profile path here: %Appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch(Type the above path in Start, Run dialog) Related links Description of Guided Help for Microsoft Knowledge Base articles |
