Inmy XP home pc, why is that when I right click my computer, it shows the
details of the "Network Connections" and not details of 'my computer' such as
'anage/propertires"
Please advice as how can I get the menu back, thanks

I found this, which might be something to look at:

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Under this entry on the page in the right column it lists:

83. Properties Missing From My Computer

If you look at this registry key what do you see?

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoPropertiesMyComputer"=dword:00000000

Is there any chance you could take a screenshot of the context menu you
see when you right click on My Computer?

Realised that the network places icon were renamed as 'my computer', so the
matter now resolved. I have put the 'my computer" on the desktop and it works
fine. Many thanks for your suggestion.
