Right click empty space in taskbar > Point to "Toolbars" > Tick "Quick
launch"
There will be an icon in quick launch named "Show Desktop". Click that.
Alternate methods :
WinKey + D
WinKey + M [Minimize windows not dialog boxes]

ends.Click it > You will See "Show Desktop" > Drag it between any of the
icons that are currently in the quick launch bar on the taskbar.

First, note that you can't create such an icon on the task bar. Undoubtedly
you mean the Quick Launch Bar. Although the Quick Launch Bar by default
appears *on* the Task Bar, it actually is not part of it, and can in fact be
dragged off it and moved elsewhere on the screen.
Create a text file in Notepad as follows:
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
Save it as Show Desktop.scf then drag it to the Quick launch bar.
Or just click on this link:
Restore/Add Show Desktop to Quick Launch (Line 61)

Also note that you can do this with a keyboard shortcut: the combination of
the Windows key + D or the Windows key + M.
