    Red face Show Desktop

    Yesterday, I tried to click somewhere, but my mouse slipped .

    I ended up moving the show desktop icon from next to my start menu to my desktop. I have managed to put it back though (sort of). I dragged it back, but that only creates a shortcut to the original which is now on my desktop. Is there a way to actually copy or move the icon from my desktop to the quick launch bit?

    I'd like to not have one on my desktop, but if I delete that, and click on the shortcut, which is in the quick launch bar, it comes up saying "I can't find target to this shortcut etc etc".

    Anyone know what I should do?

    I could always do that, but I'd prefer an orginal working icon in the quick launch bar. Is there a folder somewhere that stores all icons in quick launch? If I find that, then I can get round the problem .
