Do you mean SR didn't restore your icons or just doesn't work at all?

Error reports? Other symptoms? Checked your AV software? etc..

FWIW - A copy of 'Show Desktop' should be in your windows\system folder.
However, you may need to paste a copy into the:-
Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch folder
where you should also find the other Quick Launch components.
