is there any other possibilitys to change show desktop icon.
my icon packager can't do this.
 
Just drag the Show Desktop icon into a Notepad window. You now should see:

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

Now replace the third line with something like

IconFile="C:\path\toyour\icon.ico"

click File > Save

That's it. Change will take effect after next reboot.
 
thanks a lot man! so i can change every icon i want like this?
 
No, only .scf files. These are so called "Windows Explorer Commands". Apart from Show Desktop.scf there are only two others Explorer.scf in the Windows folder, and Channels.scf in Windows\system32.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
