    Hi there, try the following link for info on how to get the show desktop icon back (clicking on this icon will show your desktop without having to minimise all your programs):

    The Quick Launch Toolbar will do all that for you. To get it, right-click an empty part of the Taskbar (the area at the bottom between Start button and clock) and select Toolbars -> Quick Launch. That gives you a Show Desktop icon on the Taskbar which minimises all windows.

    To add more icons, first create the icon on the Desktop, then unlock the Taskbar by right-clicking it and unticking 'Lock the Taskbar' and then drag and drop the icon from the Desktop onto the Taskbar. Lock it when finished.
