    I accidentally deleted the "my computer" icon on my desktop.
    How do I get it back?

    You still have it in the start menu right?

    Well, if you want it back on the desktop, just do what Lightgamer said.

    I never had it on there in the first place. I find that I don't use it. I always go to the start menu.

    I figured it out.
    I have XP, so its a bit different

    right click the desktop
    go to properties
    than go to the desktop tab
    click on customize desktop
    Select the missing ikon, and click okay

    Thats it
