Okay, i'm really stupid and i accidentally dragged the "show desktop" button from off of my toolbar. Well... then i deletedthe shortcut. What i need to know is, what is the path for the shortcut or where is the file located so i can get it back?

ElusivePeon,
Open the Windows\System folder and find the "Show Desktop" file and then create a shortcut to this file in the Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch folder. If you have also somehow deleted the Show Desktop file from your System folder you'll have to crete one by opening Notepad and typing

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

Save this file in the Windows\System folder as "Show Desktop.scf". Now just follow the previous instructions. Hope this helps.
