All desktop icons have vanished

[fiddickc]

Hi all,

Hope you can help!! All of my icons on the desktop have gone, including the
system icons of my document folder, recycle bin and such.

If I click on toolbars on the bottom bar (can't remember the name) I can
select the Desktop toolbar which still contains all the icons. When I try to
drag the icon to the actual desktop (off the toolbar) it shows a little
folder symbol with a green plus next to it. When I let go off the mouse
button it doesn't put the icon on the desktop. I also cannot create new
shortcuts on the desktop - but they do show up on the toolbar!!

I've run out of ideas - can anyone help!!

Right click on desktop. Go to "View" / "Show Desktop Icons". Check it!

Thanks for the help guys. I didn't even know that existed!! Did what was
suggested and it is all back again. I don't know how I got rid of them though
but not to worry the problem is solved.

Thanks heaps!!
