Create a shortcut to C:\WINDOWS\Desktop.scf, then drag it into your quicklaunch or wherever you want it.

Another option
Also, you can use (Windows key)+D which in my opinion is faster...I try to use the keyboard over the mouse when possible.

Same here, but some people do prefer the mouse. It's also helpful when you don't have access to your keyboard for some reason(which is why although I have taken my start menu out of the taskbar, along with everything else but systray, I still have an explorer icon[logo+E]).
