Windows 8, there is no start menu in Windows 8 from where you can create
My Computer and Control Panel desktop icon. So here I am giving a small
tutorial on how to Create My Computer desktop icon in Windows 8.
When you have installed a new copy of Windows 8 you will have only Recycle Bin on the desktop. If you want to add a desktop icon of My computer and control panel then follow the steps below.
For those of you who prefer the Computer icon on your desktop for an easier access, right-click anywhere on your desktop and select personalize to open Windows Personalization.
Now click on Change desktop icons option on the left sidebar to change the settings of Windows icons on your desktop.
Enable all the icons you want to show on your Windows 8 desktop and save the settings.
That’s all, the Computer icon will now be added to your desktop.
Alternatively, you can open the Start Screen and search for the word computer. Once the ‘Computer’ icon shows up, right-click on it and select Pin to Start from the options that are displayed at the bottom of the screen.
The Computer tile will be created at the end of the Start Screen, but you can hold it and drag it wherever you want it to be.
