It does, in fact, work. Like most people, my keyboard is right in front of
me and I'll be damned if winkey + d doesn't show the desktop every time.
Besides, many folks have no idea about keyboard shortcuts and are often
thankful to learn about them. Just because you don't like my suggestion
doesn't make it wrong.

It has nothing to do with the question. The question was ' ... "show
desktop" icon is not on the task bar like I am used to seeing on my laptop
at work.' And note your solution doesn't work. I can't reach the keyboard
myself.
