About a week ago I lost the icon/shortcut for "my computer" on my desktop? Any ideas on how to get it back? (its not in the recycle bin)

that is very easy to do. Right click Deskop area, select Properties, select 2nd tab, then on the bottm, select Customize, inside it, you'll see 4 boxes of My Computer, My network, IE, My Document. Check mark the one you want, OK to save and exit. Voila. You're done

2) click properties
3) click the desktop tab
4) click customize desktop
5) check mark "my computer" or any other icons you want to be on the desktop

Are you running Windows XP? If so, minimize everything until your desktop shows. Click Start, then click and HOLD the My Computer icon. Drag and release it onto your desktop.

Are you using windows XP?
if so then Right Click on your Start menu.
Click on Properties.
Click Classic Start Menu.
then hit apply.
if your 'my computer' is not back on your desktop then please do the following...
Right Click on the Desktop
Click on Properties.
Click on the Desktop 'tab'.
Hit Customize Desktop...
Then make sure the Check Box next to 'My computer' is selected, and if not then select it.
Ok, Apply, and it should be back

click on start and the menu that comes up should have My computer right click and create a shortcut for the icon.

go to your task bar and right click...
go to properties...
click advanced tab...
look for my computer and click display as link...
will now be back in your start menu...
right click it and drag to your desktop and then copy or create short cut... (will most likely only let you shortcut it...) good luck...
