5 seconds to regain 'Show Desktop'

When using a computer, there are functions that seem to be quite simple, but the lack of it will make you feel very uncomfortable. One of them is 'Show Desktop', a button on the toolbar lets you quickly return to the computer's desktop when opening multiple windows. If you accidentally delete this icon, you will definitely feel inconvenient when you don't have it. Moreover 'Show Desktop' is not a normal program, so you cannot create a new shortcut or reactivate it according to common rules.

But that's not too complicated, all you need to do is create a file in Notepad, save it and put the file in the 'correct address'.

First go to Start / Run and type 'notepad' (without quotes), after the Notepad editor window appears, copy and paste the code below:

[Shell]

Command = 2

IconFile = explorer.exe, 3

[Taskbar]

Command = ToggleDesktop

Then, save the file with the name ' Show Desktop.scf ' in the directory below:

C: "Documents and Settings" Microsoft "Application Data" Username "Internet Explorer" Quick Launch

Where ' Username ' (italics) is replaced by the username you are currently using to log on to windows.

Now you can close the Notepad program again and the Show Desktop icon will reappear next to the Start button on your toolbar.

Note: To open the desktop quickly when you are opening multiple windows, you can use the keyboard shortcut Win Key + D.
