There is no keyboard shortcut to "display an Icon on the desktop".

Here is a fix that I found via the group;
you'll have to hack the registry to do it, go here and modify; (BACKUP your
registry before modifing)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDe
sktopIcons\NewStartPanel
Once there, locate {871c5380-42a0-1069-a2ea-08002b30309d} in the list on the
right.
Right click on it and select Modify. Change the value equal to 0. Exit the
registry, Reboot your computer.
I hope this helps.

Your right! It was always there, but I haven't looked for a while. Been
using IE7 for a long time and yeah, it's gone. I would have thought
something was wrong. Thanks PA Bear!

YW. Also see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555849 (Though I'm not sure
he's got all his facts straight, it's essentially the same fix and was
