Thread: Google Earth disappeared...why?

This is probably nothing harmful. Just create another shortcut and put it on your desktop.

EDIT: okay, the program is still there, but the desktop icon is missing. A Google search revealed nothing as to why this is happening. Any ideas?

I've had this happen twice to me, both times on the same system. I've got Google Earth on others but this HP laptop is the only one it disappears from like that.

Before I posted I went and checked my wife's system same thing happened on hers so I take back the only happens on my HP laptop.
