to make it easygo to searchsearch for my computerwhen some come up and the one that looks like the old Icon did, right click it and add to desktop for show on desktop for XP

[rousie13]

Yeah I did....not there......I have no idea where it went. I didn't even notice when it was gone.

If not go to settings and turn your quick launch on, a 'my computer' may be there, if it is right click it and copy then paste it on the desktop. Hover your mouse on the desktop and right click again to paste it.

Thanks guys.....I got something back. Not the same way it was, but it works, so I don't care.

ok if what Cherry said didnt work. Go to your control panel it should be there labeld under System. right click add to desktop.

If you don't like the way it looks, right click it again and change the icon (does it have a little arrow in the corner?) search for the original icon under windows, then icons, you should see it.

if its xp he should have a check mark on the screen. That I dont know how to change the icon in that, at least without going through maybe the system32 files which i dont think he wants to do. I dunno though.

sorry, i switched computers.

if you use the XP style start menu, is simple.

undo what ever you did to get the wierd "my computer"

open start menu, and where you see "my computer", right click on it and select "show on desktop" from menu.

done.
