Where's My Computer gone?

Del Lardo · 11-04-2008, 20:26

My Computer & My Network Places have disappeared off my desktop. OS is XP. Have tried the search function and changing to XP start menu and back to Classic to no avail.

Help

Right click desktop > Properties
Desktop Tab > Customise Desktop
Tickboxes for the desktop icons

That should do it

I've never had them appear there - that was the old pre-XP days.

Anyway, you can get them back as follows:

Right click somewhere empty on the desktop.
Click Properties.
Click the 'Desktop'.
Click 'Customize Desktop'.
Select what you want.
Click OK, twice.

Only because I couldn't remember how to do something I've never done, so there.

Wonder why they disappeared.
