Sometime ago I accidentally deleted the My Computer icon on my WinXP
Pro system.

I keep looking for how to restore it but have been unable to figure
out how.

My bet is that somebody on this newsgroup knows the answer right off
the top of their head.

So, is anybody willing to help this dummy correct his mistake?

Thanks in advance,

Terry Liittschwager

Many thanks, I would never have thught of right-clicking on the Start
button. Hopefully I'll remember it because there's some other
interesting options there.

Thanks again,

Terry
