Q:
I started up my computer this morning and all of my icons were gone! What could have happened? How can I get them back? Please help!
A:
Oh my, what an unpleasant surprise! I can only imagine how lost you must feel. I mean, we all depend on our desktop icons to get us through the day, so it just seems impossible to live without them. And I'm talking about major icons like My Computer, My Documents, My Network Places and so on. Those are a few of the icons you probably use on a regular basis, so if they're not there, what are you supposed to do? Well, the best answer is, "Get them back!"
Now, there are a couple of different ways you may have lost your icons. They could have disappeared when you installed a certain program or even when you upgraded to a new operating system. Either way, you need them, so let's find them again! To enable those icons and more, right click on your desktop and choose Properties. Click on the Desktop tab and hit the Customize Desktop button. Next, under the General tab, check off any of the icons you want to appear on your desktop.
Once you do that, they will all be returned to your desktop in full view. You can choose from the icons of My Documents, My Computer, My Network Places and Internet Explorer. Now, on the other hand, you may want to take some of those icons off your desktop. If that's the case, just uncheck them and they will be out of your way. Easy enough, don't you think?!
