When users do not see the familiar “My Computer” icon in its usual place, they have a feeling of discomfort and an irresistible desire to display it on the monitor screen so that it is always at hand.
By default, there is no shortcut "my computer" on the desktop for windows 10, but by performing simple actions, it is easy to achieve finding this familiar icon in its rightful place. So how do you do this in a new version of the operating system?
In fact, everything is simple and there is nothing difficult in returning the “my computer” icon to its usual place. If nostalgia takes its toll, then there is an opportunity to return to the previous experience of working with windows. Only for this, it is necessary to carry out several actions to achieve the desired result, and this can be done in two ways.
Create a shortcut to "this computer"
If you want to add the My Computer, Control Panel, and Recycle Bin icons or a custom folder icon to your Windows 10 desktop, you need to do the following. First you need to click on the desktop and open the "personalization" window.
After that, select "themes" on the left side of the window that opens, and then you can set the necessary settings for the desktop icons in the "related parameters". To do this, you need to go to the desired "settings for desktop icons". There you need to check the boxes for the icons that need to be displayed on the surface of the "desktop".
The icons can be seen in the result when the "apply" button is pressed.
Using the command line
For more experienced users, this method will seem more convenient. Also, this method will be appropriate if the so-called "vents" are not activated. Then, in this case, you need to call the command line, using the simultaneous pressing of the hotkey with the image of the "windows" logo, as well as the letter r. In the field after the inscription "Open", enter the following text: "Rundll32 shell32.dll, Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,, 5," and press "ok" to confirm. Running this code will open the Show or Hide Normal Desktop Icons section. Further, the same steps are performed to set the flags that were given above. You can also rename "this computer" to a warmer and more tube "my computer" by simply right-clicking and choosing "rename". If you know what and where to open it, it will be quite easy to display your favorite "my computer" icon, in fact it only takes a few minutes in order to return to your normal life. Windows has always surprised its users with new innovations, and not always pleasant ones. Now you can freely navigate the files, but now, with or without the icon "my computer" - this is the user's choice.
