Hi George.

If you mean My Computer on the Desk-Top, I pressed the Right Mouse Key and 
selected Properties, but all I get is directories titled: Themes: Desk Top: 
Screen Saver: Appearance and Settings.

If you mean, within the Control Panel\System, then I'm unable to get 
WindowEyes to locate  anything sounding like My Computer.

Goodness George, I should know all of this stuff after the years I've been 
using computers, but perhaps not having too venture into these areas keeps 
us safe and ignorant eh?

Best wishes.
Andy
