"My Computer" icon is on my main screen, but "My Computer" has also started to show up on (what I call) the Task Bar at the bottom of the screen. Can any tell me how to remove "My Computer" from the Task Bar?

Thanks, Dewey

before deleting it, does clicking on it open
my computer, or something else?
I've had that happen and it was the show desktop icon, using the my computer icon in quick launch, so be careful before deleting.
