If you have XP SP2, select "send to" when right clicking and you should get a choice to "send to desktop as shortcut"
You can also drag it onto the quick launch portion of the task bar so you don't have to go back to your desk top to find the short cut.

I know what you mean - there isn't any way to do this. I have made this point before.
Creating a shortcut doesn't seem to work. There used to be a 'My Computer' but now there is just 'My Documents' duplicated. This is a DesktopX fault.

And if you use the 'Browse' button to select My Computer, it opens the DX folder ....

The code below should open My Computer on L-click:
Sub Object_OnLButtonUp(x,y,dragged)
If Not dragged Then
On Error Resume Next
Set Sh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Sh.Run (Chr(34)& Chr(34))
Set Sh = Nothing
End If
End Sub
Normally you would put a file/folder in this line like this:
(Chr(34)&"C:\Program Files"& Chr(34))
But if you leave it empty like how I did at first then it automatically opens up My Computer.
Hope this helps.
