I accidentally dragged the tab in the MAC HD for the desktop. Dragging it out removed the tab/icon. Is there any way to get this tab back? It is the tab thats in the same section as Music, Photos, Documents... Please Help, this is the worst day I have had in a while with Computers.

Don't worry Frank! I think you mean the shortcut at the side of the Finder window right? Well they're just aliases, dragging them away (resulting in a poof of smoke) doesn't delete anything. Just go to your Home folder (yes, with Documents, Photos in etc.) and drag the Desktop icon to the sidebar of the window. All will be fixed again.

Thanks. Now if I could figure out why this SimpleTech SimpleDrive keeps freezing Finder.

Youn also access the same things through finder preferences.
On the menu bar select finder->preferences-> and on the window that's going to pop up choose the sidebar tab.
