The Show Desktop tool is not an ordinary program shortcut.
If it is deleted, the procedure for re-creating it is not
obvious. Follow these steps:
1) Open Notepad and type the following text:
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
2) Save the new file as Show Desktop.scf.
3) Drag the file's icon to the Quick Launch bar or other
location where you want the shortcut to appear.
Hope this helps!
