all the programs for you?

If you mean the Show Desktop icon that goes on the QuickLaunch Bar:

Copy/paste the below into notepad, then click file/"save as" and call it
"show desktop.scf" and drop it on the desktop. You can drag it from
there to the QuickLaunch bar.

[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=EXPLORER.EXE,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop

The keyboard shortcut Windows+D always works like a charm.

Maybe Dave doesn't have his quick launch enabled.

If that's the case I got this from the Microsoft site:

1.
If the Quick Launch bar is not displayed, right-click an empty area on
the taskbar and click Properties.

2.
On the Taskbar tab, under Taskbar appearance, select the Show Quick
Launch check box and click OK.

- Click the Show Desktop icon in Quick Launch toolbar. You can enable it by right
clickinging taskbar > Toolbars > Tick "Quick Launch".
or
- Press Windows Key+D
or
- Press Windows Key+M (minimize windows only)

Good Luck, Ayush.
