How can I start Thunderbird emails window from a write window with one click on an icon?

PC, Win7

It is easy to delete the main thunderbird window by accident, sometimes leaving a write window. How to get it back? If you have a write window up, the taskbar icon only shows the write, Yes, you can right click or use the start menu, but that is yet another faff about to remember. How can I get a Thunderbird button on the Composition tool bar?

If you close Thunderbird then you need to open it. You could put a shortcut icon on the Desktop.

I have a thunderbird icon on my 'Quick Launch' toolbar, which means it is easy to select to reopen as it is beside my opened or minimised 'Write' window on the task bar. Do you have 'Quick Launch' toolbar enabled? right click on bottom Task Bar and select : Toolbars > Quick Launch

Thanks. but The desktop is too often covered. I too have a Thunderbird icon on the quick launch. Unlike your system, when I close Thunderbird with a Write window open, the Thunderbird icon disappears so I can't use it directly.

I open any Write window directly from TB. What I want to do then is to open TB directly from Write
