    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"
