Hi,
I guess you are using XP, if so, here is what to do, I hope i don't
commit any mistakes as i am using windows seven now, hopefully someone
else will confirm and/or correct me:
1. Open your start menu and locate your "my computer".
2. Press your application key and down arrow til you hear send to
subMenu and open it with enter or right arrow.
3. I guess you will land on an option that reads "deskTop create an
icon" or something similar. If it is not the first item in the subMenu,
arrow up or down til you reach it and hit enter on it.
4. Go back to your deskTop and find the icon there. Be careful, the new
icon might not be named "my computer", you might find it with some words
added to the beginning: for example, you might find it named: "icon of
my computer" or "shortCut of my computer".
If the above steps work, you can even assign a hotKey to your "my
computer" icon so that you can open it with one keyStroke. If you need
help doing that later, just let us know.
I hope that helps, and sorry for any mistakes as i don't have XP here
and please forgive any errors in the translation i used to have a French
version of XP not an english one.
All the best
