Remove "Show Desktop" button next to the clock in Windows 7

7+ Taskbar Tweaker provides this option among many others. It's a robust little program that I've been using for quite some time without a problem. It adds exciting new functionality to the Windows 7 and Windows 8 taskbar and fixes some of its flaws.

I don't think you can remove the button, but you can disable its functionality. Right-click on Superbar -> Properties -> uncheck "Preview desktop with Aero Peek"

Sorry it seems that beyond this, there is no way to remove it.

Based on my research, there was no related article about the feature. I suspect it is by design and you cannot remove it.
