i dont know, but another quick way of getting there is the hold down the Windows key (bottom left of keyboard) and press D.
(but dont do CTRL with the D key by mistake as that is the Delete command, I have accidentally deleted stuff before that way)

benerjee27,
Copy and paste the five lines below into Notepad.

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

Then save it as Show Desktop.scf and drag it to your quick launch bar.

OR

Go to the link below and scroll down to line 61 (right column) and click on "Restore/Add Show Desktop to Quick Launch Bar" to download a vbs file fix.

To use the VBS Files: Download .vbs file and save it to your hard drive (you may want to right click and use Save Target As). Double
click the vbs file. You will be prompted when the script is done.

NOTE: If your anti-virus software warns you of a "malicious" script, this is normal if you have "Script Safe" or similar technology enabled. These scripts are not malicious, but they do make changes to the System Registry.
