Subject: RE: Tech: How to put Recycle icon on desktop, W-7
Go to "Start" (click big button on bottom left)
Hold mouse/cursor over "All Programs" until it expands
Click on the little yellow "Accessories" folder
"Windows Explorer" will be there
If all other programs are closed so all you see is in the lower left where you've been clicking--
click on "Windows Explorer" and hold your mouse button down, then drag it to your desktop. This doesn't move the file, but puts a shortcut on your desktop.
I use WinEx all the time to look for things, so I just dragged it to the task bar that stretches across the bottom of the screen.
