Right click either the start menu or the task bar. Under properties you need to change the desktop style to the old (pre XP) version. The computer I'm on isn't XP so I can't tell you exactly, but play around with it and you should figure it out.
The Sweetness:
* Intel Pentium 4 2.4C @ 2.88 (12x240)
* ABIT IC7 w/1GB PC3500 DDR
* SLK 900-U w/Vantec Thermoflow 92x25mm Fan
* Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro (440/370)
* Raidmax Black Mid P4 350W ATX Case
Whatever doesn't kill me makes me stronger. Not lifting weights doesn't kill me. Therefore not lifting weights makes me stronger.

Click Start. My Computer is listed in the right column.

Use tweakui to put the icon back on your desktop.

Its the only Icon you have(Recycle bin) after a new Install. Go to start and right click on my computer then check show on desktop.
You will have to create shortcuts of programs you want if you want them on your desktop.

Right click anywhere on the desktop and choose properties.
Choose the "desktop" tab, then choose the "customize desktop" button at the lower left hand corner. From there, you can select what icons you want on your desktop.
I dont know why they set it up to be the default like this...I guess they figured those icons aren't needed by most people??
