There is the "quick launch toolbar" that displays at botttom next to "start".
rt click on task bar, then Toolbars, and select Quick Launch. The default
icons should display. The "show Desktop" is one of the defaults.

You say " I have icons on my own task bar for quick action but when I tried
on a friends new PC to do the same...I got the no entry sign when I tried."
Not sure what yuo mean by no entry?? Do you know if the other person is Admin
or have Admin privileges??
What do you mean by no entry?
