Show desktop button is FUBAR

[junkerman123]

So, one day, my windows desktop button stopped working. The file it links to, Show Desktop.scf is nowhere to be found. I NEED THIS FEATURE 🙁🙁🙁

Any ideas as to how I can fix this and get it back besides reinstalling windows?

googled up "how to show desktop" and that was the first link (not to make you feel stupid or anything ^_^)

Thanks secretanchitman! I already had AT forums open, figured I'd just ask on here...besides don't you feel warm and fuzzy now that you've helped me? 😉

My n-lite'd XP disk doesn't create the icon for me which is a pain. I almost remember the code by heart to re-create it 🙂

Windows Key + M
Windows Key + D
Right-click taskbar and select 'Show the Desktop'

Windows + D is superior 😀

What's the difference between +M and +D?

Windows + M just minimizes all windows.
Windows + D is a toggle between all minimize and all maximize.
