First, go to Control Panel>Appearance and Themes>Display>Desktop tab>Customize Desktop button and make sure there's a check in the box for "My Network Places." Click OK and OK again.

If the icon does not then appear on the desktop, see if it's in Windows Explorer. If so, you can right click on My Network Places and map the network there.
