While cleaning my mouse wheel, it was moving around on my screentop, and deleted my icon for Thunderbird. How do I restore the icon to my desktop? My Thunderbird is working okay, I just need to put the icon back on the screen so I don't have to click to get to my email. Thank you.

Check your trash. If there, you can right-click 'Restore' Otherwise you may have to create a new shortcut. Easy if you are familiar with Windows 10 File Explorer. Are you?

It would be useful to know which Operating System you are using. Windows? 7, 8 or 10?

Or something else?

Reply to email: this is a new computer purchased about 4 weeks ago, and it has Windows 10 on it.

Thank you so much for your help. The icon was in the trash and it popped right back into place where it belonged.
