Right click on the Taskbar, select Toolbars, Desktop. This will place a
Desktop toolbar on the Taskbar.

Have you got quick launch showing in your task bar as it is normally on
there. If not right click an empty part of the task bar, select properties
and put a tick in the 'Show Quick Launch' box.

Hi Dennis,

Besides the Show Desktop shortcut that others have mentioned, did you know
that you can Show Desktop with Winkey+D? Keying this combination a second
time will restore all the windows back where they were.
