No, but I use this method:

Right-click on an empty space on the task bar and choose "Show the
Desktop"

Re: Show Desktop Icon

ps. you have to 'unhide' the hidden and system folders to find the
"C:/Users/your user name/AppData/Roaming/MicrosoftInternetExplorer/Quick
Launch."

Copy and Paste this code into Notepad
Quote:

> [Shell]
> Command=2
> IconFile=shell32.dll,34
> [Taskbar]
> Command=ToggleDesktop
Save as with name *Show Desktop.scf * and paste into Quick Launch
Folder.
