Ramesh,

Thanks for your reply.

Need to correct myself.
What I should have said is that my network places folder is empty. The
folders are gone. The folders for my desktop computer and for the laptop
computer disappeared or maybe somehow got deleted. No reference to them
appears in the Recycle bin, checked that first. How can I re-build them.
 
Can you check if the shortcuts are present in the following folder?

%userprofile%\netHood

If they're missing, you may have to create them again using the "Add a
network place" link.

Ramesh,

Did a search for "%userprofile%\netHood" , Search came back, "There are no
results to display". Not sure I will be able to create them as I had them
done for me.
