I accidentally discovered that the "Show Desktop" icon in the quick start bar of the XP system is gone. Usually there are a lot of things on the desktop. When I want to return, I just click the "Show Desktop" icon. Now it is really inconvenient to lose it. flymorn summarizes the way to restore this icon.
The first method:
Click "Start → Run", enter "REGSVR32/n /i:u shell32" (excluding double quotes) in the pop-up "Run" dialog box, and then press Enter. After a moment, the "DllInstall in shell32 succeeds" dialog box will pop up, and the "Show desktop" button will return perfectly.
This method uses the method of re-registering system components, which is actually the best way to restore the desktop display; because it is generated after automatic registration within the system, it is recommended that you use this method.
The second method:
Create a new text document on the desktop and enter:
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
Rename and save it as "Show desktop.scf", and then drag it to the quick launch bar.
But it should be noted here that the "Show Desktop.scf" file created on the desktop cannot be deleted, because the icon you drag to the quick launch bar is just a shortcut to this file. If you delete this source file, the display desktop in the quick launch will also be invalid. Therefore, I suggest using the first method to restore the icon, so there is no such problem.
