My Network places has gone

I have a desktop and laptop on a desk next to it connected by an Ethernet
cable. All has been working well for some time but now suddenly I cannot
see My Network Places in Start. On the laptop all seems O.K.

Can I put another link there, and if so from where and how. Or do I need to
re-setup the network?

TIA

B.W.

Sorry if this post is repeated but I could not see the original version I
sent some hours ago.

To get My Network Places in the Start menu:

1. Right-click the Start button.
2. Click Properties.
3. Click Customize.
4. Click Advanced.
5. Put a check mark in the "My Network Places" box.
