The Microsoft Network icon that appears on your computer's desktop does not
appear in the Desktop folder in Windows Explorer.

created using a registry key, not a file. This is similar to the method used to
create the My Computer, Network Neighborhood, and Recycle Bin icons, which also
do not appear in the Desktop folder.
