Lost My Network Places in Start

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 on the desktop 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

I'm not sure what you mean by "on the desktop My Network Places in Start",
but i will try to help you.

If you are wanting to add your "My Network Places" icon on the desktop,
follow below:
1. Right Click any clear area of the desktop. When the context menu appears,
choose properties.
2. Once "Display Properties" dialog box appears, Choose the Desktop Tab.
3. At the bottom of the Desktop properties page and you will see a button
"Customize Desktop". Click it.
4. On the "General" Tab of the "Desktop Items" dialog box, in the first
section, you will see the option to choose to display "My Network places" on
the Desktop.
-------------------------------------------------
To add "My Network Places" to you Start Menu, follow below:
1. Right click your start menu, where it has the windows flag, and says
"Start"
2. When the context menu appears, choose properties.
3. When the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" Dialog box appears, click
the customize button.
4. When the "Customize Start Menu" Dialog box appears, click the Advanced tab.
5. In the section named: "Start Menu Items:", scroll down until you see an
