Show Desktop Icon Missing

by bill - 2009-01-03 ( education / tech / computers / software )

QUESTION: My "Show Desktop" icon just disappeared from my Quick Start menu. How do I restore that?

ANSWER:

Simplest answer: Just right-click on the desktop from now on and choose Show Desktop from that little menu that pops up;

or, It probably got "bumped" aside by something else putting an icon in that space. You can drag that double greater than (>>) sign and make that space wider;

or, just temporarily expand that space and drag and drop that Show Desktop icon to the far left where I personally like to keep mine.

If none of that fixes it, go here.
