Now that I've finnaly moved to doing some development/support work for Windows 2008 I find myself annoyed by the lack of one feature I just can't enable: the desktop shortcut to "My Computer" I've grown used to. I know how to enable this on XP and 2003, but I just can't find the setting on 2008.
How can a user configure which desktop icons (My Computer, My Documents, Recycling Bin etc) on Windows 2008 Server?

Once you've rebooted the server, simply right-click on the Desktop and select Personalize . From here, you can add the desktop icons you desire as usual.
Your desktop icons may be hidden. To view them, right-click the desktop, select View, and then select Show desktop icons. To add icons to your desktop such as This PC, Recycle Bin and more: Select Start , open Settings , then under Personalization , select Themes .
Adding a shortcut requires a simple drag and drop action. Check off the icons you want displayed on the desktop. Launch Internet Explorer, the click the left mouse button on the URL icon for the desired website, then drag and release on the desktop.
Right click on the Computer menu item on the start menu, and select 'Show on Desktop' from the context menu that pops up.
