Or here is another way , right click on the desktop then click personalize, once there look to the left pane near the top and click Change Desktop Icons, this is where you choose which icons you want to appear on your desktop, close/OK .

Should be able to drag it back into the list with the mouse. Would fire up a Vista machine and check but I would expect someone will be able to tell you a lot faster than that lol

Tried that but i get the list up, then try to drag and the list vanishes!!!

aytch I just done a search and the answer comes up as the same .....Drag and drop it where you want it .
I have Vista and wish i had got windows xp now .
You could always try to do it in safe mode and see if it drags and drops then .

Hold the left click on the folder, drag it to the start button, once the list opens take it into what area you want it to be in, when it's in a position it can be dropped in you will see a black line appear in the menu.
