WordCamp Philippines

If you’re a Pinoy blogger or a WordPress user/fan then most likely you’ve heard or read of this already. But in case you haven’t, I have good news for you. There will be a WordCamp held in the Philippines this coming September 6, 2008. If you don’t know what I’m talking about here’s a little info.

What is WordCamp?

WordCamp is a conference type of event that focuses squarely on everything WordPress. Everyone from casual end users all the way up to core developers show up to these events. These events are usually highlighted by speeches or keynotes by various people. WordCamp is a spin off from the popular BarCamp which was a spin off of FooCamp. - Weblog Tools Collection

WordCamp Philippines will be the first ever WordCamp organized and held in Asia. WordCamp Philippines is being organized by a group of Filipino bloggers based in Mindanao who were also responsible for organizing the successful 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit held last year.

What are the objectives of WordCamp Philippines?

…to encourage more developers to use and deploy WordPress, not only as a blogging engine but also as a full-featured content management system for Web sites. Another is to increase the number of WordPress users and developers in the country. By developers, we mean programmers of WordPress plugins and designers of themes & templates.

Have you mistakenly deleted the Show Desktop icon from the Quick Launch bar? Or is it just simply missing and you don’t know how to restore or recreate it? I’ve been using Windows for a long time but I’ve never encountered or heard of this problem before until the other day when someone asked me to restore the Show Desktop icon.

I’m sure there are other Windows users who have encountered this problem or are looking for the answer to it. Fret not, as you have come to the right place. Below are the steps on how to restore or recreate the Show Desktop icon.

Steps:

  • Open Notepad or any text editor
  • Type in the following data:

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

  • Click Save
  • Name the file Show Desktop.scf
  • Drag and drop the file into the Quick Launch bar or wherever you want to have the shortcut

Voila! Wasn’t that easy? Now you have your Show Desktop icon back where it belongs.

    I am probably the one who hates that icon the most. :) I usually delete that icon intentionally and do a Windows + D instead…

    @mr nice ash - Really? You’re the first person I know who deletes that icon on purpose. Hehe

    @trench - I’m not yet done customizing it and still not sure whether I should use it or not.

    Ive never heard of this, but all my icons did disappear the other day. Out of the blue they came back, lol. I have no idea why it does that, but I hope this will help. Thanks!

    I’m guessing that what might have happened with your computer is that the Quick Launch bar was disabled so all the icons also disappeared. You’re welcome! ;)
