Butch, I could put the documents folder on my Windows 7 desktop as follows:

1.  Go into Windows Explorer.

2.  Navigate to c:\users\[your user] - where [your user] is your user on the 
computer.

3.  Then in the file list go down to "My Documents".

4.  Go to the file menu or just hit the application key.

5.  Select "Create Shortcut".

6.  Move the just-created shortcut to your desktop.

Subject: windows seven desktop question

I fired up an old hp windows seven machine, and it only has 4 things on
the desktop, no my documents, no computer, no my network places.  Where do
I go to add the normal things to the desktop.  I have this stuff on
another seven machine, but I don't remember if it was that way or how I
added this stuff if I did.
Thanks.
