Loss of desktop icons

Guest

I have lost my desktop icons and cannot figure out how to get them back on
the display. They are in the computer but I cannot display them on the
desktop screen. Any help would be appreciated.

This behaviour occurs if the Show Desktop Icons feature is turned off.
1. Right-click the desktop.
2. Point to Arrange Icons By and then click Show Desktop Icons.

To add the My Computer, My Network Places, Internet Explorer, and My Documents icons back
to your desktop:

1. Right-click the desktop, and then click Properties.
2. On the Desktop tab, click Customize Desktop.
3. Under Desktop icons, click to select the check boxes of the icons you want to view.
4. Click OK two times.
