Do you mean that My Network Places doesn't appear on the desktop? If
so, try these steps, in order. If one doesn't fix the problem, go on
to the next one:

1. Someone might have hidden My Network Places using Tweak UI. Go to
Control Panel. If Tweak UI is present, double click it. On the
Desktop tab, put a check mark in the Network Neighborhood or My
Network Places box, click Apply and OK.

2. Go to Control Panel | Network. Remove Client for Microsoft
Networks if it's present. Then add Client for Microsoft Networks.
Reboot.

3. There could be a system policy hiding My Network Places. Run the
registry editor, open this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer

Delete the value named "NoNetHood". Reboot.
