Hello
I was just wondering on win 8.1 is there a way to get the little show desktop button ?

like on vista for example

I am using startisback

thank you

I'm not sure about startis back but in Windows 7 & 8 the show desktop function is done by clicking in the bottom right hand corner next to the date/time.

The show desktop button is still at the bottom right of the task bar on my machine, it's just not obvious.
