Right click taskbar > Toolbars/New Toolbar/Desktop/ok. This will put desktop in your taskbar, if this is what you wanted.

Ray, If you want the Show Desktop icon in your Quick Launch area of your Taskbar go to the link below and under the letter "S" scroll down to "Show Desktop Icon is Missing" where you'll find an easy fix.
C:\Documents and Settings\&&&\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
