Move "Computer" and "[username]" out from under Desktop in Explorer?

Hello, nice peoples that provide so many fixes to make Windows suck less.

I've been looking for hours, but the terms are so general I can't find anything. When I open up Windows Explorer, the "Computer", my profile folder, and the Recycle Bin all appear under "Desktop". Which makes finding things a pain in the butt.

Is there any way to set those items as their own icons, outside of Desktop, and remove them from under Desktop? Basically, I want to see this:

-Computer
└C:\
└Folder
└Folder
└...
└D:\

-Desktop
└Folder
└...

-senselocke
└Downloads
└Favorites
└...

-Recycle Bin


I know you guys have found a ton of tweaks for Windows 7, but this one has bugged me for a while now. Has anyone found a way to get something sort of like that?

Thanks for the quick reply! Immediately after viewing said reply, though, I had to system restore. I just got back around to doing this--and it's laid out perfectly now. It was the "show all folders" which was showing everything and lumping them all under Desktop.

Thank you so much for the links--I guess I was just looking for the wrong terms. You guys have an amazing site, and all your effort is very much appreciated.

I did the "add user folder", as well as "remove network" and "remove libraries". The Recycle Bin went away when I unchecked "Show All Folders". Now I have only Favorites, [user folder], and Computer. MUCH easier to see things.

Thanks!
