Click the Start button, click your user account name near the top right side
of the Start menu. The right-click your Documents folder's icon and choose
Send To > Desktop (Create Shortcut). You can create a shortcut to any folder
that way.

You can choose some other icons from the Desktop Icons Settings folder.
Right-click the desktop and choose Personalize. Then click Change Desktop
Icons in the left pane.

Others have told you hot to do it but for your own clarification and that of
lurkers who might be reading this, when you placed "My Documents" on the
desktop in XP, it was in fact a shortcut to the My Documents folder.
