    First right click on an empty space of the taskbar goto toolbars and make sure that Quick Launch is checked. if it is and you still have no Show Desktop icon on the quick launch bar then you'll need to do this:
    1.) Open notepad and type the following text exactly

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

    2.) Save the new file as Show Desktop.scf

    3.) Drag the file's icon to the Quick Launch bar

    This should fix it

    Hi, larycel ~

    • Open 'Windows Explorer'
    • Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName
    • On the right-hand side, click and drag 'Desktop' to your 'Quick Launch' bar
    • Now right-click on it and select 'Properties'
    • Enter whatever name you want
    • Click on the 'Change Icon' button to change it to whatever you want if you don't like it
    :D
