Thanks

Try this.
Use Notepad to create a file called 'Show Desktop.scf' that contains the following

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

You can check that this works by double-clicking it.

Drag this onto the ObjectDock config icon.
In WinXP this mostly works.

Now can anyone out there create a good icon?
Also I'm looking for an icon for Filemaker Pro

Thanks for the handy bit of code, but now I guess we just have to wait for a talented iconer to make up an icon

The Noia set of icons for Object Dock contains some really nice icons, including a desktop icon.

I can't seem to get the "Show Desktop" command to work from Object Dock, though. It works from my Quick Launch, but not the Dock. Anybody know why?
