IconFile=explorer.exe,3
gives the XP “Show Desktop” icon
I use vista
I was able to get it to show the vista icon by using Properties|Change Icon
and looking in the icons available in
%SystemRoot%system32SHELL32.dll
Replacing the line
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
with
IconFile=%SystemRoot%system32SHELL32.dll,##
where ## is the index of the icon wanted would have been far more eloquent as it would have been correct Vista Icon without changing.
ie icon to use would have come from the file and not the registry.
Can anyone say how to find the correct index number for that icon?
For Vista use
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=%SystemRoot%system32SHELL32.dll,34
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
