How to Remove “Show Desktop” Button from Windows 10 Taskbar?

7+ Taskbar Tweaker is a tiny freeware to completely tweak and customize the taskbar in Windows 10/8/7. Here’s how to use it to remove “Show Desktop” button from Windows 10 taskbar:

  1. Download the freeware 7+ Taskbar Tweaker (about 1.2Mb) and save it to your Windows 10 computer.
  2. After the download is complete, double-click the setup file to install it locally. When you get to the step of completing the installation, make sure you uncheck the box “Set 7+ Taskbar Tweaker to run at startup“, because there is no need to run the program each time you turn on the computer.
