Hi,
desktop icons are shortcuts to programs, folders or files, which are
kept in:-
C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\Desktop
or . . . .\AllUsers\Desktop
folders. So you can check on those - but if they have not reappeared it
is probable the shortcuts got deleted.Create fresh shortcuts and retry.
you may also try:-
Hide All or Show All Desktop Icons (Line 172)
