How can I add the 'Show Desktop' and 'View Open Windows' buttongs on my quick launch toolbar?

Question

I am running Windows Vista and somehow my icons for Show Desktop and the one that can show all open windows at once have vanished! I'm not sure how to get them back. Does anyone know??? I still have my other icons on my quick lanuch I'm only missing those two. Thanks

The shortcuts are located in the "C:\Users\Default\AppData\
Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch" folder.

The 'Default' folder is hidden, so you may not see it. Just type in the folder name from above into the 'start search' edit box in the start menu and then hit the 'Enter' key.

When you get to the folder, just drag and drop the icons back onto the Quick Launch bar. Hold a 'Ctrl' key down so you do a copy instead of a move.

...and I'm not sure why this happened in the first place.
