    Hi

    For some unknown reason "recent places" has added itself to my desktop yesterday and it doesn't give me the option to delete it. I tried going through control panel>personalize etc>...>desktop icons like you do with the recycling bin but it doesn't give the option for recent places. When I right click it all it says is open, clear recent items and create shortcut. It also doesn't have the little arrow in the bottom left(?) corner does that mean for some reason recent places has actually moved itself to the desktop? Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

    Thanks

    maybe you accidentally drag dropped it somehow out of the explorer? try drag it back to your favourites?
