    Show desktop shortcut


    Hiya! I'm on Seven right now. I'm pleased with what I see.
    There is ONE problem though.

    On Vista and earlier, there was a quick launch bar that had a "Show desktop" button. The button minimizes everything to show the desktop. Now, is there a way to have it on Windows 7's task bar?

    Thanks for help
