Lost My Computer icon

[Guest Ken]

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

Right click on the desktop > select properties > click the desktop tab

> click the customized desktop button at bottom > check my computer

box at top > click ok

You should then remove the shortcut version of my computer

Thanks to both of you. The desktop right-click worked just fine, but I

had not seen the website for Kelly's Corner.

 

Thanks again
