Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>customize (more info?)

I have been able to change all system icons (recycle, Documents, My
Computer), but I cannot change the "Show Desktop". It is a Windows Explorer
Command that I have on my Taskbar

Go to the folder C:\Documents and Settings\(Your User Name)\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch (path is normally hidden),
right-click on Show Desktop, and choose Create Shortcut. Then rename
"Shortcut to Show Deskdop" to "Show Deskdop". You can now
change the icon to this new file, because its a normal shortcut, and not a
Windows Explorer Command. Then, right-click on the "original" Show Desktop
and change its properties to hidden (Apply>OK), so that you don't have two
Show Desktop's in your Quick Launch Toolbar.

Hope this helps,
Dean
