Hi,
yea I have a hp xl768 and when I installed it i deleted the MY NETWORK PLACES because i though it was a waste of space (i like to keep my desktop clean) and I never thought i was going to do networking. now that i need networking and i dont want to install windows ME again because i just downloaded all the new drivers for everything, how can i get that MY NETWORK PLACES back on the desktop?

You can access the network icon in the control panel.
In the primary Network Logon drop down menu set it to Client for Microsoft Networks. If this is not a choice, add it via the Add>>Client>>Add buttons.
