Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I´ve tried that notepad way so many times, but for dunno what reason it never worked.

No is my show desktop button back.

To download it and copy it to Quick start folder is the easiest and fastest way.
thanx

How do I reinstall my Recycle Bin Icon on the desktop. I inadvertantly deleted it.
Many thanks

My desktop and task bar have disappeared. When I restart from control Alt Del, I get a message saying Explorer exe. SHDOCVW.dll is missing.
What do I need to do? Help, I am desperate.

Thanks – this appears to have worked for my XP64 computer – I didn’t delete the show desktop icon – it never existed in the first place..

“”Everytime I use a computer without the “Show Desktop” button I wonder how much time the owner wastes minimizing every window at the end of the day. This will come handy in my pendrive!”"

�?�?Actually Showing Desktop Is Not The Same As Minimizing Windows, You Can Show Desktop With The Shortcut Win+D ,But To Minimize All The Windows You Can Use The Shortcut Win+M
So, What’s The Different?
When You Show Desktop And Then You Try To Restore Any Window You’ll Get All The Windows In Your Face
But When You Minimize Them All (Win+M) You’ll Get Them Restored One By One On Clicking

Showing Desktop Will Hid Minimizable & Non-Minimizable Windows
Minimizing Windows Will Only Hide Minimizable Windows

When I right click on the quick launch bar there is no ‘open folder’ option.
