"Show Desktop" Shortcut on Windows XP

Add a "Show Desktop" Shortcut on Windows XP

1. First, create a text file on your desktop (right-click anywhere on your desktop and select "New" > "Text Document").
   
2. Double-click on this new file to edit it, then copy and paste the following text into the file:
   
   
   [Shell]
   Command=2
   IconFile=explorer.exe,3
   [Taskbar]
   Command=ToggleDesktop
   
   
3. Save the file, then rename it to "Show desktop.scf".
   
4. - Option 1. (Simple)
   At this point, you can click and drag this file to the Quick Launch toolbar. As you drop the file to the Quick Launch toorbar, a new shortcut icon will be created on the toolbar.
   The disadvantage: If you happen to delete the file "Show desktop.scf" from your desktop, the shortcut icon at the Quick Launch toolbar will no longer work.
   
   - Option 2. (Advanced)
   To get away from the problem mentioned on Option 1, simply move (or copy) the file ("Show desktop.scf") to the following folder:
   
   C:\Documents and Settings\{user-name}\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
   
   (replace "{user-name}" with your user name.)
