Your shortcut go deleted somehow you need to create a new shortcut it will
not show up there if it is not in the control panel administrator tools.

What happens if you click on the orb and then right click on Computer
and choose Manage? That's how I always get there. I had no idea I
could also get there your way.

Mike,
It worked - Thanks
Computer Management is now in the Admin Tools folder on the Start Menu and
in the Control Panel.
I think I screwed it up yesterday w/o realizing it.
I learned a new way to get there - life is good in Vista land.
