Default 'show desktop' icon

What setting makes the 'show desktop' icon appear or not in the taskbar? The
effect of this clicking on this icon is to minimize all open windows and be
left with the wallpaper plus all desktop icons. Thanks.

Hi Bill,

Go to the site below and click on: "Restore Show Desktop"
Download the script to the Desktop and double click it to run.
The script can then be deleted or saved for future use.

Follow the path: My computer/C/windows/system/ ... look for 'show desktop'
icon ... right click and send to desktop (create shortcut) .... then drag the
shortcut from desktop to taskbar.
