Show_DesktopI know...a Windows XP tip? In 2011? Well, not everyone has made the leap to Windows 7 yet and, as it happens, a few weeks ago, someone called me up with a nagging issue. Somehow, they had accidentally deleted the Desktop Shortcut from their taskbar, a tool they apparently used quite a lot.

Of course, we're talking about a pre-Windows 7 installation. I tried to get him to simply use the Windows Key + D keyboard shortcut, but that wasn't the solution he was looking for. He really wanted that Shortcut icon back on his taskbar exactly where it had always been.
