I accidently deleted the shortcupt to desktop icon that I usually have. I ran a search and couldn't find it again. How do I make a new one?

thanks.

Go C:/Program Files/[Whatever the program was], right click on the .exe file and create short-cut, copy and paste it on the desktop.

Open Notepad and paste

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

Now save this file as "Show Desktop.scf" in

"C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR USER NAME>\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch"
