Thanks. Right you are on copying the shortcut to the quick launch area. I
didn't know about the RIGHT click to drag.

In the process, however, I think I may have lost an icon for "My Computer"
on the desktop. Blank space on the desk top and I think My Computer used to
reside there. Is this supposed to be there and how do I get it back?

Thanks for the quick reply.
