Open Windows Explorer, right click and drag the My Computer entry to the desktop, let go and select "Create Shortcut." I just tried it on my XP system and it worked.

Or you can do this: Right click on the desktop and click "Properties". From there, click the "Desktop" tab, then hit "Customize Desktop", and click the check box for "My Computer". That should bring back the icon for it.
