My Computer Icon in Start Menu

I lost the "My Computer" Icon in my Start Menu. I've tried everything I can from what I've searched. Can anyone help?

 

1. Right-click the desktop and click Properties.
2. Click the Desktop tab.
3. Click Customize desktop.
4. Click the General tab, and then click the icons that you want to place on the desktop.
5. Click OK.

 

1. Right-click the Start Button and click Properties.
2. Click the Start Menu Tab.
3. Click the Customize button.
4. Click the Advanced tab, and then scroll down the list to My Computer.
5. Tag the box to suit your needs and click OK as you exit the fields.

 

I have the icon on my desktop; it is not in the start menu.

 

1. Right-click an empty area of the taskbar, choosing Properties.

2. The multi-tabbed Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog box appears. Click the Start Menu tab.

3. Make sure the Start Menu radio button is checked, and then click its Customize button.

4. The multi-tabbed Customize Start Menu dialog box appears. Click the Advanced tab.

5. Underneath Start menu items scroll down to My Computer. Choose either to display a link to "My Computer ", a menu to the "My Computer" items, or not to display this item at all in the Start Menu.

6. Click OK on the dialog boxes to close them.

If you have the Start menu set as Classic Start Menu then on the desktop, select My Computer,
Holding the left Mouse Button - Drag the Icon to Start. This will put the icon on the menu.

 

I do use the classic start menu and I did what you said, but after I shut down and then started the computer again, the shortcut in the start menu was empty.

 

When you did Step 5 did you check Display as a link or Display as a menu ?

Just trying to figure something out.

Thanks

 

Display as line.
