Question My Computer icon missing from desktop
All of a sudden the "My Computer" icon is missing from my XP Pro desktop. How can I get it to reappear?

Of course I can drag a shortcut from Explorer, but that's not the same. I want the real My Computer icon on the desktop.

Has anyone else seen this??

Right clik on your desktop> propterties> 'desktop' tab> Customize desktop. You can get it back in there.

Dunno how it disappeared in the first place.
