    Icon for what? You need to build a App or Tile if you want something in the Tile area. If you want to change the icon of something, not that hard.

    Thanks for the answer. The W10 update that I used to have had an :tile; that allowed me to h\get back to the desktop with one click. This new computer with W10 does not have such a tile.

    Have you tried Right Click on Taskbar
    A menu will appear
    Go to
    Properties
    Then put a tick in Desktop
    That should do what you want

    Or Right Click Taskbar
    A menu will open up
    Scroll down and click
    Show the Desktop

    I know exactly what you are asking.
    In a previous build there use to be a Desktop tile in the Start Menu. One click at it would go back to the desktop screen.
    It is no longer there.

    I'll see if I can find way to get it back.

    blokie,

    For now, until I can find a way to pin desktop to Start, here is a workaround...................
    Right click at the Start button > at the bottom, click Desktop.

    OR, just simply click at the Win key on your keyboard.
