Help! The minimise all windows button has gone!
 
I have Windows 2k, and at the bottom left of the screen, just to the right of the start button are a few icons ( still on the taskbar). I have shortcuts of IE, MP3 player, etc. I also had a little icon that was there from the beginning, which when you clicked on it, minimised all the windows. Somehow, I have managed to delete it ( its not in the recycle bin ).

I can't find a way of getting it back. I never realised how much I use it, and its a right pain not having it. Hope some one can help

Thanks

Rob, this is the "Show Desktop" icon. On my xp machine it is located in C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch. On my ME machine it's on C:\Windows.................................etc.

Type of file : Windows Explorer Command.
Description : Show Desktop.

Hopefully, you just deleted the shortcut and you should be able to locate the file and drag it back to the taskbar. Hope it works.
