Restore your Show Desktop icon in Quick Launch Bar

I think many of you might accidentally deleted the Show Desktop icon in the quick launch bar. I also did accidentally deleted the Show Desktop icon at quick launch bar. Which made me to go for a long time search. I found out many ways to recreate or restore this Show Desktop icon in quick launch bar again but who wants to get invovle in writing complex code or do experiment with the registry settings. Although I did but, I think you guys are more intrested in end result. So I think you'd probably prefer a downloadable file instead. Here is the simple downlable link for your Show Desktop Icon.
Once you download and unzip it. Drag and Drop this icon to your Quick Launch tray.
But if you want a proper code for it, write back and will post the entire code for you.

Yeah sure mate.. Just follow the procedure-
Click Start, Run, and type Notepad.exe. Copy the following contents to Notepad.

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

Save the file as "Show Desktop.scf" (with quotes, in order to prevent Notepad from appending .txt extension). Now, drag the file to the Quick Launch Toolbar.

or



Click Start, Run and type the following command:

regsvr32 /n /i:U shell32.dll

The Show Desktop icon file should be available now.
