On Win 2k, there is a icon "Show Desktop". How can I get the same icon
on my taskbar on my XP system?

Thanks.

Alternatively you can use WinKey + d

You can't get it on the Task Bar, neither in Windows 2000 nor in
Windows XP. You *can* get it on the Quick Launch bar, which by
default (but not necessarily) sits on the Task Bar.

First make sure the Quick launch Bar is showing. If it's not,
right-click a blank part of the Task Bar, choose Toolbars, then
Quick Launch.

Then create a text file in Notepad as follows:
[Shell]

Command=2

IconFile=explorer.exe,3

[Taskbar]

Command=ToggleDesktop

Save it as Show Desktop.scf then drag it to the Quick launch bar.



Or just click on this link:

Also note that you can do this with a keyboard shortcut: the
combination of the Windows key + D or the Windows key + M.
