Hey, what i did was i think i deleted the "My Computer" icon from my desktop and now can't access "My Computer" using "Classic" display which i think is better than the XP style. All i need to know is if there is any way to replace the icon? Maybe by copying it from C:\Windows or something, i don't have the time to look around for it and i hate going through the start menu to get to "My Computer".

If anyone could help that would be great, i don't really want to have to format to get my icon back.

Thanks, Daniel

PS - Using XP Pro

go into the start menu and put your cursor on 'my computer', right click and click something like 'create on desktop'

Yeah, switch back to Xp Start menu, then drag the My Computer icon to your desktop, then you can switch back to Classic Start menu.
