Subject: [VICUG-L] Retrieving unused desktop items

Hi Everyone,  On my laptop which is running Windows XP with
JAWS 6.20 I need to retrieve some desktop items.  My
computer told me that certain desktop icons weren't being
used so I clicked to remove them.  Well what the computer
thought I wasn't using didn't coincide with what I was using
so now half my icons are in the unused icon on the desktop.
How can I put back the ones I want?  Thanks for any help,
Judy
