Missing Icons on Desktop

[Bill Lathan]

I have a machine running XP home that has stopped showing the icons on the
desktop. If I look in Windows Explorer, the programs/shortcuts I want are
all under Desktop, and, if I try to copy a file from there to the desktop
screen, I'm told it can't do it because the source and destination are the
same. Show Display doesn't affect this problem at all.

Thanks in advance,

Bill

Hi Bill,

Without knowing more....right click the Desktop/Properties/Show icons on
desktop. If this is not the case, run the undo on line 27:
