1. Create a folder on you desktop (or wherever), called something like "My Toolbar"
2. In that folder, put a copy of your Excel shortcut (right click the Excel icon, click copy, go to your new folder, right-click, paste)
3. Right click an empty spot on your taskbar, click the Toolbars sub-menu, then click New Toolbar.
4. Find the folder you created in step 1, and click OK.

Voila, you've made a toolbar for your taskbar. You can put whatever shortcuts you want in that folder and they will appear on the toolbar. If it doesn't show up on the taskbar where you like, you can drag it to a diffent spot (make sure the taskbar isn't locked (right click an empty spot on the taskbar, uncheck "Lock the Taskbar")).

As a side tip: instead of having to close/minimize all your windows to view your desktop, you can just press the Windows Start button on your keyboard and the letter D (for desktop) together to minimize everything and see your desktop. Press the same keys again to bring everything back up.
