Restoring The Main Windows XP Icons Back To Your Desktop

Go into your Control Panel by first clicking on the Start Button.

Then click on the Control Panel icon located in the right column of the Start Menu.

If your Start Menu is set to the Classic View, then begin by clicking on the Start Button.

Then click on Settings, then click on the Control Panel icon to open up the Control Panel.

Now double click on the Display icon to open up the Display Properties window.

Then click on the Desktop tab located at the top of the Display Properties window.

Now click on the Customize Desktop button located at the bottom of the screen.

Under the Desktop icons section, place check marks next to the four main Windows XP Desktop Icons.

Then click on the OK button to have Windows XP apply and save your changes.

And then click on the OK button to close the Display Properties window.

The My Computer, My Documents, My Network Places and Internet Explorer Icons will be on the Desktop.

Note: If the Desktop Icons are still not present, then right click directly on the Desktop.

Then glide your mouse over the Arrange Icons By option and then click on Show Desktop Icons.

Easiest way I've found.
They added a "delete" choice. Bad.
