Once even I had the same problem and i solved it by deleting a regitry key about
systray icons. This problem occurs mostly because a registry key gets corrupted.
Navigate to the following key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TrayNotify.
In the right pane delete the regbinary keys named 'iconstreams' and 'pasticonstream'.
Close the regedit.
press Ctrl+Alt+Del.
In the processes find explorer.exe and click end it. This will make your desktop
disappear.
In the task manager, go to File->New task and type explorer.exe and press enter.
This will restart your explorer and the desktop will appear.
Now restart your comp immediately (this is important) without doing anything else.
This process recreates the above deleted registry keys and all your icons are back.
Hope this helps. ;)
