Lost "My Network Places" icon & system files

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup (More info?)

Hi

You have not mentioned how you deleted the "My Network Icon". Any way this
can be disabled from desktop as well as you can remove it through a group
policy in domain if the system is a member of the domain controller. In
your case I am not able to understand the exact configuration. Even you can
remove this icon by modifying the registry also. Before doing all these
please have a look at your network card configuration and tcp/ip settings
whether they are enabled or not. You can do a workaround with the help of

Vic - deleting the desktop icon did nothing except delete that icon.

To replace the icon on your desktop:
- open Explorer,
- size Explorer so you see both it and the desktop,
- leftclick on Explorer's "My Network Places" icon, and
- drag and drop it over on the desktop.
