How do I make a Desktop Icon on the toolbar


Today I started KDE as root and to my surprise I saw a desktop icon in the toolbar. Does anyone know how I can add a desktop icon to my toolbar as normal user?

I've tried dragging it from my home directory but the icon this produces either opens a new window with everything that's on my desktop or a small submenu with some options to access icons on my desktop.

The desktop icon I found under root cleans the desktop completely (Windows style) and restores everything on a second click.
