    Mine is gone. Don't know how when or why, it's kind of one of those things you don't notice missing until you need it. So, anyone know where I can find one to copy or the how to of making a new one. I am talking about the icon in the Quick Launch tray that forcibly lowers all windows to show the desk top when you click it.

    1. Open Notepad
    2. In Notepad, type (or copy and paste from here) the following text on two individual lines:

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

    3. Click File, click Save As, and then save the file to your desktop as Show Desktop.scf.
    Note: Notepad may automatically append a .txt extension to the file name. Remove this extension if present. The file name should be Show Desktop.scf
    4. Drag the file to the Quick Launch bar and drop it in
