Is there not an option to "show desktop" when you right click on the task bar

Right click Task bar > Toolbars > Quick Launch should be on there.

edit:: ignore this tehn

make a text file in notepad and put the following in :

showdesktop.scf said:
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop


call it ShowDesktop.scf and save it to C:/Documents and Settings/YOUR USERNAME/Application Data/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Quick Launch/
