Hi Susan, Try this: 1. While on the desktop and with "nothing selected", use the control + spacebar to unselect anything which may already be selected such as internet explorer or some other desktop item. 2. Press the application key, "Third key out from right side of spacebar" and arrow down to properties. Press enter at this point. 3. Do a control + Tab Key" once to jump onto the desktop tab page. 4. Tab over to "custom" and press the spacebar to enter. 5. Once in here you will be on a list of items. If you use the arrow keys you will eventually be on"My Documents" and it will most likely say that it is unchecked. Press the spacebar to check it. 6. Tab to the OK button and press spacebar. 7. Tab over to the OK button again and hit spacebar to finish. Now hopefully your My Documents shortcut will be back on the desktop once again. Paul. -----Original Message----- From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Susan Curry Sent: 28 March 2011 20:48 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] Re: my documents hi paul, it is not in the recycle bin but it is on the start menu, i don't seem to be able to get it back on to the desk top though. any ideas? susan ----- Original Message ----- From: "(NCBI) Paul Traynor" <paul.traynor@xxxxxxx> To: <vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, March 27, 2011 5:18 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: my documents > Hi Susan, > > Check your "Recycle Bin" and see if there is a My Documents shortcut in > there.
