Inadvertently deleted My Computer Icon from desktop

Asked By Tina Hill 10 points N/A Posted on - 02/28/2012

Hello experts,

Just now from my desktop, I accidentally deleted the “My Computer” icon. I don’t know how it occurred, I must have dragged it out, well, it was really accidental. Please let me know how I can put it back? I don't even know where to find it.

Need your help. Thanks in advance.

Inadvertently deleted My Computer Icon from desktop

Hello Tina Hill,

First of all it depends on which Windows do you have (Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, etc.) so please choose the answer that best suits your needs.

Probably the easiest way is to click on "Start", then drag the "My Computer" to your desktop.

Another way is to click Start then right click "My Computer" and select "Show on Desktop.

OR

Right click anywhere in the open area of the desktop, then select "Properties" > "Desktop" > "Customize Desktop". In "Desktop Items" check the box that says "My Computer" then select OK.

I hope I have been useful.
