Show Desktop icon is missing from the Quick Launch bar

Original title: Windows Search

I have Windows XP, home edition, SP3, IE8, and I lost one of my desktop icons that I use frequently. This is the icon that is always in the taskbar, as well as a few others. The icon is what opens on the desktop whenever you click on it. It is a white square that looks like a block of office paper, with a figure of what looks like a pencil or pen appearing thereon.  Somehow, somehow, it was deleted, and I can't find where to get it back. I have been in the control panel on 'VIEW' and no luck, only we in the menu of the taskbar and start and he can find, checked a large number of menus that contain the word "Desktop" in it and I clicked on a large number of them also without a bit of luck too. Once more, he is a white icon and is still in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen of the monitor. Someone knows must return this icon... any help would be appreciated.

  • Volume control icon has disappeared from the quick launch task bar.

    How can I add volume control to my quick launch task bar? I tried dragging the icon to the taskbar, which did not work.

    Hello Hassan.

    Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum

    Start by making a right click on the taskbar, and then select Properties. Select the tab, Notification area and choose Volume under the icons in the system. That should put back your icon on the status bar at the bottom right of your screen. If she does not please repost here and let us know.

    I hope this helps!

  • Help - lost the phone on the Quick Launch bar icon

    Hello

    I played with the configuration of the Quick Launch bar by dragging the icons in the Launcher. When I drag a fifth icon on the Quick Launch bar it replaced the phone dialer icon.

    Not much that I thought - I'll just drag it back to the pitcher - except that it is not in the Launcher...

    Any suggestions on how to get it back... If only I had lost the contacts icon I don't really care, but lose the phone dialer is a problem!

    Thank you!
    Darren.

    Thanks for the reply HardBeatz!

    The phone icon was not in the Launcher pages, so I couldn't just drag again. The phone application would come well whenever you did something that would normally bring it (by selecting a phone number from contacts for example). I'm not sure of looking for him as an application - I think not only that!

    I did a little greater experimentation and when I rebooted the phone icon Pre reappeared in the Quick Launch bar! Now that I got the phone back icon I tried to reproduce the problem, but I just can't happen again.

    It was with WebOS 1.0.4.

    All is well that ends well I think!

  • Size of the icons in the Quick Launch bar

    The icons in the Quick Launch bar are usually about half the size of the icons on the desktop. Mine are now the same size, which is awfully big for the Quick Launch bar. Having the taskbar at the bottom of my screen, it takes at least two lines to display the icons.

    What I found the same icons are used, but it seems that there must be a way to set the size of the icons shown.

    How can I resize them to their normal size? So far, I found nothing on this topic, any ideas here?

    TIA,

    Margriet

    First of all, it must unlock the taskbar, if it is locked. Now on the first line in front of the icons, right-click when the arrow on the side shows. At the sight of quality performances. Switch to the kid. If it is already on small, for some reason any. Put it in wide and apply, then back to small to see if it returns it. [_1337_Pete_]

  • Cannot add Internet Explorer to the Quick Launch bar

    I've been using Vista since August 2007 and have had no problems. This morning I noticed that the Internet Explorer icon that is normally placed on my Quick Launch bar is missing, but it's in the Start Menu

    .

    I tried to drag and drop on the Start Menu, but I get the 'Ain t going to happen sign' (the circle with the bar slash through it) when I drag it to the Quick Launch bar.

    I looked at these recent updates and found one Jan. 20 for Microsoft Silverlight and one a Jan 22 for Microsoft Essentials.

    I tried to restore to an earlier date, but that doesn't change anything.
