Two things: 1) The computer is a new notebbook. I do not have that desktop icon on the taskbar that is common on most computers. How do I get it there, please.
2) I have a desktop with Win 2000. On it, I have a "My Computer" window (not icon) on the desktop. This website used to have in the "How To" page a way to create this. I really liked that but don't remember how it was done. I can no longer find this in the How To. Anyone know how to do this?
