[Help] Changing "Show Desktop Icon"

Not sure if this has been discussed before, i couldn't find anything searching.

How do you change the show destop icon, in Windows XP? Manually, without installing IconPackager etc.

Thanks.

This is really more of a workaround, but it'll do what you want ;).

Create a link to this icon.

The Show Desktop icon actually leads to a command located here:

C:Documents and Settingsnc1089Application DataMicrosoftInternet ExplorerQuick LaunchShow Desktop.scf

So, what you want to do is create a shortcut to that (which I assume you know how to do), and change the icon for this shortcut (which I also assume you know how to do).

-NC

P.S: Make sure you edit the path so you're not using my username, as it won't work...unless you have an account called nc1089 on your computer :P.
