Hi,
Right-click in the empty space as shown in the image below, and then select Show all folders from the context menu that appears. The Desktop icon will now appear.
Hope this helps.

Original title: Home Network
When connecting to my home network . . . one of my computers does not have the "desktop" listed among the other listings so I can open up desktop on the other computer.
The following are what is listed . . . pictures, videos, music and documents which will open. I would like to also add desktop. How do I go about it?
My other 2 computers have it listed among the other folders.
Thank you,
Newby01

But I would like to also have the desktop pop up along with pictures, music, documents and videos when I first log in to the particular network.
