Default Desktop icon

The icon on the taskbar that is for the desktop. It looks
like a small square with a pen and paper in it. When I
used to click it the desktop would appear. Now the "Open
with" box appears. Any suggestions?

Right click the icon and delete it.
In the Windows\System folder you should see a Show Desktop file.
Right click it and send it to the desktop as a shortcut then drag it
into the Quick Launch Bar.

If you have a problem with that see this article:
