This shortcut is very useful for me. Because if you want to open a shortcut where located on Desktop, you don’t need to minimize your opened windows one by one. In fact, you can also press Windows + M keys to minimize all your opened windows. But I thought Show Desktop icon is more efficient than press those keys combination. In this article, I want write how to create Show Desktop shortcut if you delete it accidentally.

By default, Quick Launch has these standard shortcuts.

And here are steps to re-create Show Desktop shortcut:

  1. Open your Notepad, and then write this script or you can copy-paste text below:
    2. [Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop

  2. Save it by click File –> Save menu.
  3. In Save As dialog, enter ShowDesktop.scf as its file name and save it to Desktop and then click OK button.
  4. Now, you’ve had a ShowDesktop shortcut on Desktop. To put the shortcut to your Quick Launch bar, just click and drag it to it.
  5. And it’s done!
