I had a similar problem on Feb. 13 . I have 3 user profiles and now all desktop icons
were replaced by one of the users.(we all have the same icons and shortcuts on the
desktop)two of us have lost our icons. So far MS has offered little help. I think
it has to do with the automatic updates we received the previous night.i dont know
how to fix this.

[edit] Features
Tweak UI allows the user to customise the user interface of the Windows operating
system. The application has been heralded for enabling users with older, slower computers
to turn off many aspects of the operating system's eye candy, such as fading menus,
drop shadows, and cursor shadows. Tweak UI also includes numerous features to customise
the way various base elements of the interface work, such as the taskbar and the
desktop. The application also enables users to move the location of their Documents,
Music and Pictures folders, as well as other system folders. It also includes various
tools to repair elements of the operating system, such as icons, hot keys, the font
folder, and file extension associations. It can be used to disable AutoPlay on one
or more drives as well, which may be useful especially as external hard disk drives
become popular.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To install it, you have to first decide were you want to unzip the folder too. C:\downloads.
Then you will have to right click on the tweakui.inf . Then click install.
Tweak UI wii be in the Control panel. Open it up. Then click on the Desktop tab.
You will find some of you missing icons lisited. Check mark the ones you want to
have on you desktop. Then click apply. Then close up the program. Hopefully you missing
icons will be on the desktop. I hope this helps you.
