First I'd like to thank anyone who helps me (or attempts to help for that matter).

I've deleted the icon that would show my desktop. If I have ,say, 11 open windows and want to see the desktop, then I'd hit the "show desktop" icon. It's gone and I cannot restore it for the life of me.

Can anyone help,
Anyone,
Thanks,
Barrett.

 

Quick fix: Press the Windows key + D. It does the same thing. Press again to restore the desktop. Windows key + M will simply minimize all of the windows, if you want that for some reason.

 

Full fix (from http://www.theeldergeek.com/restore_show_d...esktop_icon.htm):

Open Notepad and enter the following text:

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

Save the new file as Show Desktop.scf then drag and drop the icon on the Quick Launch bar.

 

WOW, Thanks.
