Windows M, make sure nothing is selectedd by using Ctrl + space if
necessary, hit the application/context menu key, go up/down to properties,
hit enter on it, ctrl + tab to the desktop tab, tab to the customize desktop
button, hit space, and in the list it should come up focused on, go up and
down and make sure my documents, and my computer are in fact checked, then
tab to and hit space on the ok button, and do the same again in the previous
dialogue, and this might/should make them reappear.

Doug, If you have classic start menu set, then they won't and they'll
appear
on the desktop anyway.
Cheers

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

Subject: [Blind-Computing] trying to bring back the "my computer" icon on
my
desktop
Hi, everyone. 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.
Rosemarie
