    :rolleyes:

    Don't know what I did, but the Show Desktop icon has disappeared from the bottom left hand corner of my screen in the system tray.

    Any idea how I can restore it?

    I'm using Windows XP.

    Thanks.

    D.

    Hold the windows key on the keyboard the press d.
    This will not return the icon but of a keyboard shortcut to show the desktop. Use this again to return the minimised windows.

    There's an auto fix button there or a manual procedure...

    Auto Fix It didn't work.

    But, manual fix it was a piece of cake and worked a treat.

    Thanks! :)
