Need a quick fix for XP
This is a pretty insignificant fix, but I need a "clear desktop" button in my quick launch menu that is next to the start button. I can't figure out how to get one there but I've seen it on several computers, including my old laptop. I just don't see any options for it on my comp.

Yeah, my mistake was established before...and the icon wasn't in there, that was my problem. But it's fixed now, thanks anyway.

did you lose/delete the show desktop icon? I did that a couple months ago by accident. I just did a google search for "show desktop icon" or something. It involved putting something in a .txt file and then renaming it...
EDIT - well, i guess i'm too slow...
