Create said item on the desktop. Then drag and drop it on the quick launch bar.

Thanks for the fast response! I can't figure out how to get the Desktop icon on the desktop. Any idea?

I'm not sure if what you're speaking of is that you want a desktop icon in your quick launch bar..

if so, right click on your quick launch bar in an empty space>toolbars>and check off desktop.

Thanks but that's not what I was looking for. I use to have an icon on the quick launch that when clicked it would return to the desktop regardless of how many window were open.

Sem, if you do what I previously suggested, that will put a desktop icon in your quick launch and if you click on it, it will return you to the desktop, even with other windows open. I have ME and my quick launch bar has the desktop icon.
