Rosemarie, If you're using xp, do the following. Go into the start menu, cursor down to either my computer or my documents (the steps are the same for both). Then press your applications key, on a standard pc keyboard it's the one to the left of the right-hand control key. Then arrow up three times to "show on desktop" and hit enter. This should put either my documents or my computer (depending which one you chose) back on your desktop. Hope this helps! Alex

I don't know what happened but the "my computer" icon is gone from my desktop. I went into control panel and went to the display properties. I control tabbed to the desktop page, tabbed to "customize your desktop" and hit the space bar on it. After that, I arrowed down to "my computer" and the checkbox is checked. I wonder if I did all these steps in the wrong place. I have "my documents" and everything but I can't find "my computer". Any help with this would be very much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
