Missing Icons

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Use Explorer to go to the programs .exe file (assuming you know where it
is). Right click on the file. Choose "send to | desktop - create shortcut".
After the shortcut has been created you can drag it to where you want it to
reside. You may have to rename the shortcut to make it user friendly.

The help file in Control Panel and Help & Support has more info about Icons
which will help you restore them.

The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his
absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay
the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a
great power among men.
