putting an Icon in "My Computer"

[yaipa]

All,

I've been asked by my boss to put an Icon in WinXP's "My Computer" for
a utility we use around the shop.  My tool of choice is of course
Python and therefore what I am using to attempt my given task.  I have
no trouble putting Icons in the WinXP Toolbar using Python, but have
totally failed to get an Icon to appear in My Computer.  Any Idea on
why and maybe how to get around this using Python? 

Thanks,

   Alan
