The Windows XP quick-launch tray has a handy little icon called Show Desktop. This application will minimize all your open Windows so you can quickly and easily see your Windows Desktop. Conversely, with all your applications minimized, the Show Desktop app will open them back up.
Note: This can also be accomplished by using the Windows-Key + D shortcut key combination.
Unfortunately, if you accidentally delete your Show Desktop icon, it's a little tricky to get back. Here's how to recreate the Show Desktop icon.
1. Start Notepad. Click START, Run, then type notepad.exe and hit ENTER.
2. Copy and Paste the following text into Notepad.
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
3. Select the File menu, then Save As and save the file as;
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Show Desktop.scf
Where USERNAME is the name of the user you are logged in as.
