OK, try this... - ctl+alt+del to get up task manager - click on "Processes" tab - highlight the "explorer" process - click "End Process"... this will stop your desktop. - click on "Applications" tab - click "New Task..." - Type "explorer" and click OK This will restart the explorer which manages the desktop. With me my icons returned! Could be something to do with the startup of explorer perhaps... just a thought.
