Sometimes the Show desktop icon in the quick launch bar goes missing. But we can recreate the Show desktop icon manually. Open a notepad and copy the following into notepad:

[Shell]

Command=2

IconFile=explorer.exe,3

[Taskbar]

Command=ToggleDesktop

Save this file as “Show Desktop.scf”, and then drag it to the Quick Launch bar. The Show Desktop icon should now visible in the Quick Launch bar.

A keyboard shortcut can also do it for you. You can show desktop using [Windows] + [D].
