    Showing The Desktop Icon In Windows XP and Vista

    I have been using the Windows XP and Windows Vista both and Windows XP is being installed in to the system of the computer and Windows Vista is being installed in the system of Windows Vista. I have started using the Show Desktop and also this is an application that helps you to have the "Show Desktop" icon and that to alongside the clock and system tray that is present in the Windows XP and Windows Vista like the one in Windows 7. Please help me out that why the option is not being displayed to me in my desktop, please help me out with this.

If your mouse slips and you mistakenly delete the icon of the trash, here's how to find it:
    • Click a blank area of the desktop and choose Personalize.
    • In the window that opens on the left, click on Change desktop icons.
    • It'll just check the Recycle Bin and click OK.

    And also it is that you can just check that after the following of the above solutions the issue can be resolved for you.
