Create a Windows Show Desktop Icon

After installing Windows 2003 Server, I found that it doesn't have a show desktop shortcut on the taskbar, which was annoying as I found this useful on XP. So I spent a few minutes to create one with these few steps.

1) Create a file "Show Desktop.scf" in the windows folder.

2) Edit the new file in notepad, adding the following lines:

[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop

3) Create a shortcut and add it to the taskbar.

Show Desktop icon, created.
