Windowss 8: How to show My Computer Icon on desktop?

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.
