I am running windows 200 pro and when I boot into an
account or even as the administrator the My Computer icon
is missing. When I run explorer.exe the exploror window
pops up without showing any drives. It shows the
MyDocuments. I can access the drives by typing c: in the
address bar. Normaly I would just go in through My
Computer. Is there something I can do to get the icon
back? Thanks.
 
It sounds like someone instituted Group Policy restrictions on that computer,
possibly at the domain level if the computer is in a domain. If not you should be
able to use gpedit.msc to change or disable the undesirable effects. Look in user
configuration/administrative templates/ for various restrictions. --- Steve
