Desktop Icon on Quick Launch

When I first turned on my new Inspiron 530 with Vista Premium installed there was a desktop icon on the quick launch bar.  It has since disappeared.  How do I get it back?

    Go to the Quick Launch folder in "C:UsersDefaultAppDataRoamingMicrosoftInternet ExplorerQuick Launch."
     
    The 1 KB Show Desktop icon will be in the Quick Launch folder

    You have two ways to restore the icon to the Vista taskbar.
    1. You can copy the shortcut and navigate your way to C:Users and then to the folder with your user name followed by AppDataRoamingMicrosoftInternet ExplorerQuick Launch and paste the icon here.

    2.Select the icon and drag and drop it on the Quick Launch area on the Vista taskbar.
     
     
    OR
