Vista - Icon to return to Desktop

Another Win 7 question. In Win XP I had an icon in my quick launch bar to
return to desktop from anywhere. How can I get such an icon/command in Win
7? Thanks for your time. Otto

A clarification here: "the far right" is correct if the task bar is in
its default position at the bottom of the screen, or at the top of the
screen. But if the task bar is at the left or right (positions that
*I* prefer with today's wide monitors), that "tiny glassy box" is at
the bottom, rather than the far right.

but I believe the default taskbar icons are large so then it would be a "small glassy box".

I don't know whether the icon size has an effect on its size or not,
but its width depends upon the width of the task bar.

You have to grab the window by the *title bar*.
