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. ;)
