AZ>Greg Easthom here.

AZ>Yours is the only e-mail I have in my Fido "To" list, the Bandmaster BBS 
AZ>is having some problems tossing uploaded messages (it won't even accept
AZ>any from Basic'ly) so before Jay starts reformatting everything, could you
AZ>post this for me?  :-)

AZ>This is for the Win95 echo, thread: Missing My Computer icon


AZ>JE> I have a laptop with W95 coming in that has the My Computer
AZ>JE> icon missing from the desktop. It is not in the Recycle Bin
AZ>JE> either. The owner has no idea where, why or how it disappeared
AZ>JE> to.

AZ>JE> Any idea how to restore the My Computer icon.

AZ>A few ideas from that thar InterWeb...

AZ>Can you still access My Computer via Windows Explorer?
AZ>It should be one step down from Desktop on the left side.
AZ>You can "create a shortcut" on the Desktop if you like.

AZ>Has My Computer been moved to somewhere in the Start menu?

AZ>Was there a "Desktop theme" that was installed and removed?

AZ>There are (non-recommended) Registry hacks that make it invisible.

AZ>Try deleting ShellIconCache (in C:\Windows) and rebooting.
