Restoring the Quick Launch toolbar "Show Desktop" icon

It is fairly easy to restore the "Show Desktop" button that usually resides in the Quick Launch toolbar, if you have removed it.

Open notepad and paste the following:

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

Save the file as "Show Desktop.scf" in C:\Documents and Settings\<YOURNAME>\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch where YOURNAME is the username of the account that is missing the icon.
