Guest Ken Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Although My Computer occurs in Explorer when I look at Desktop, the icon is missing. If I drag My Computer from Desktop, all I get is a shortcut, not the icon itself (with the ability to go directly to Manage, etc.) How do I restore the original icon for My Computer onto the desktop? Thanks Ken K

Guest Ken Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Re: Lost My Computer icon Thanks to both of you. The desktop right-click worked just fine, but I had not seen the website for Kelly's Corner.
