Hi Phillip,

You don't indicate if you have any icons showing on the Desktop so assuming
you don't, right click an empty area of the Desktop and place the cursor on
"Arrange Icons By". In the resulting menu insure a check mark is by "Show
Desktop Icons". If this isn't the problem, right click on the Desktop again
and select "Properties". Next, click the "Desktop" tab and at the bottom,
click the "Customize Desktop..." button. At the top under "Desktop icons"
place a check in the box by "My Computer" and click "OK" two times.

You can also open Windows Explorer to My Computer very quickly by holding
the Windows key (the one with the Microsoft flag) down while pressing the
letter "E" key once.

Subject: [PCBUILD] My Computer missing (re-submitted)


I lost my internet connection while first submitting this and also realized
I hadn't given info on computer/os (emachines, celeron 2.6, xp home) so here
it  is again. Sorry!

Greetings all!
I thought I had seen this problem listed before but was unable to locate it
in archives, so...
 I was having trouble getting a program cd to run on my mothers  computer so
I thought I would check drive properties in "my computer" but I have  looked
everywhere I could think to look(which was pretty much limited to windows
search. I rely so much on this folder to search program files,etc.) and it
seems
"my computer" doesn't exist!  How do I go about locating and  placing "my
computer" on my desktop?

TIA
Phillip Williams
