Lost Desktop Icons


I recently lost the ability to display or use any desktop icons.
When I right click the desktop and the Display Properites menu appears, the
"arrange icons by" menu is greyed out. I still have them in the toolbar but
cannot get them back on the desktop. I have XP/SP2 installed. This is
probably my fault as this is the first problem with XP I've had in almost a
year but can anyone think of a reason to loose your desktop icons and more
importantly, how do I get that function back. TIA :)
