Exclamation Want that little "Show Desktop" icon!

Hi Folks,

On Windows 98, I had a nice little "Show desktop" icon on the horizontal bar at the bottom on the screen...in Windows 98 I don't have it, which is a pain when I have 6 or 7 IE windows open and I want to get to the desktop quickly...

How can I get the "Show Desktop" icon to appear?

Thanks in advance!

Create a new short cut to C:\Windows\System\Show Desk top

Can drag it to the quick launch bar if you'd like.

I know that if you have just recently installed windows xp you may need to tick the show task bar option in the properties window for this.. sometimes thats an option to consider.
