Um... just copy it back into your TaskBar, then delete the one on the desktop. Nothing special needed.

But it makes a shortcut and puts that on the toolbar, then when i delete the file, it searches for it, and cant find it.

Then 'move' it instead. As far as I can tell, its an actual program, a command, that sits on the toolbar rather then a shortcut to anywhere else.

If you have 'lost' it, then I'm sure I could mail it you.

paste this:

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

in notepad and save it as "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\show.scf"
That's it!
