desktop icons domian

Hi How on earth do I join a domain? I have tried the 'Computer Name' tab which shows me it is in a Workgroup but the 'Change' button is missing.
Also is it possible to put the 'My Computer' & I.E icon on the desktop like XP? I have looked everywhere but cannot see any option to show it?
Thanks in advance

I've looked everywhere for the IE and Computer buttons, or in general in customising the desktop, but nothing as yet. I do believe this is a bug.

Zack!! I can't believe you've missed this...
Right click the desktop > Personalize > top left corner there is a link for desktop items. Click on that, then you can select what you want to put on the desktop.
It is a bit out the way though, admittedly...

There are a couple of things you probably need to try: Disable UAP: Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Run > type in MSCONFIG > Tools (tab) > scroll down select Disable UAP > Launch > Restart computer.
Log back in and see if the Computer Name tab appears. If not, you probably need to enable the built in Administrator account: Please check the following the link for instructions about enabling the Administrator account: http://windowsconnected.com/blogs/jerry/archive/2006/02/22/1028.aspx -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

No worries :) Besides, it's not often we find something that you haven't found :)
