Thank you Calum.  I don't know why I couldn't find it again. Didn't
think of searching for history-desktop-icon or anything like it.  Tried
as many variations of 'icon' and 'launcher' as I could think of.  Spent
three or four days, on and off, in utter frustration.  Some times its
just the simple things in life.
