    may sound odd, but does it show the shortcut button still?

    ---edit---
    when did this happen have you by any chance upgraded internet explorer, sometimes the registry key can become invalid or corrupt during the desktop installation.

    You can try number 5 of this tutorial, see if that restores it,

    Thanks for the link. A few people had the same program on their computer that caused the problem (Boot Delete). The make new folder now works
