Having failed to access a website I was invited to 'refresh' the computer. This took about 5 minutes and when it had finished I discovered that several applications had been removed and the e-mail icon had disappeared. Is there a way to get this back please?

Hi ZiggeyLee was unable to answer this question, I followed the instructions received from another member, but nothing happend, I kept at it for about 45mins, and although I'm ashamed to say I gave up and went to bed when I got up the following morning, lo and behold switched on the PC and there in the bottom toolbar, the logo for an email was there in all its glory. To summarise, I've answered your question, without knowing how.
Kind Regards
Colin
