    I want to add a real MY Computer icon to my quick launch, not a shortcut. I want to be able to right click it and select Properties and access the System properties, not the shortcut properties.

    There must be a way to add system values to the quicklaunch?

    How about docking a folder onto your taskbar, and from within this folder you can pretty much "drag" the My Computer in and access from it? Other than getting another type of Launcher Tool/App.

    cheers ...
