I accidently deleted my show desktop icon. I have searched my windows directory high and low, and cant find it.

Can someone tell me the directory location or exact file name.

Windows XP PRO SP1

Have you tried system restore yet?

The problem with that is I only keep one restore point at all times. Also, this happened about a week ago, so system restore is not an option.
I didnt think getting that icon back was going to be such a task
In win98 its easy as pie

copy the bold text here to a new text document ... save it to your desktop as Showdesktop.scf then drag it to the quich launch bar.

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

[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
