Quite possibly. Otherwise, your best bet is that Explorer (the Windows shell which 
controls the icons, taskbar, tray, etc.) crashed. It can (sometimes) be restarted 
through the Task Manager. Also, if Iconoid (or another icon program) is installed, 
they sometimes have an option to hide icons based on idle time or mouse position.
