Show Desktop icon in Quick launch area in Windows server 2003.

I know most of the people are looking for it and by default we don't see the desktop icon in Windows server 2003 or XP..... So, I too faced similar problem when I was new to this IT field. It's simple and easy to implement.

Here are the steps to follow to add it to quick launch area.
  • Open notepad.
  • Copy the below code.
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop

  • save the file with the name ShowDesktop.scf some where on your system or on your desktop.
  • drag and drop the file to the Quick launch area.
That’s it!!! you are done. Now, you got what you need. enjoy these wonderful posts!!!

    The above trick does not work every time. Rather try entering regsvr32 /n /i:U shell32 in the run menu and press enter. Reboot the system and the show desktop icon will be available in the quick launch.
