operator trouble here...help needed

Hover over the icon in the taskbar, then hold down the left mouse button and drag the icon to the desktop. Release the left button.

Do this for each icon.

You're right. It does move 'em.

Something else is going on, as it changes as soon as I move it. Right now, I have "My Documents". When I move it, it changes to being a shortcut. Get rid of the shortcut, and the old one is right back down on the taskbar.

The others will move OK. But, they have replacements: "Recycle Bin", and "Acronis True Image". Seems like whatever I get rid of, others take it's place.

Try this:

Right click a blank space on the taskbar and select 'Toolbars'. Uncheck My Computer, My Documents and My Network Places.

Now go to Control Panel > Display Properties > Desktop tab.

Click on the Customize Desktop button and put a check next to My Computer, My Documents and My Network Places.

Click Apply.
