Please help.

When you hit start used to see network places on the first menu. Some reason it is gone. Was able to find a way to put a shortcut to it on my desktop but the shortcut is missing were it used to be. Played around with a number of things and did get it back yesterday. Dont remember exactly how did a number of things.

Now today when I reboot it is gone again. Only way to get to newtworks places is from control panel and the shortcut on desktop.

thanks
