    I'm not sure how it happened but all the icons i.e. internet explorer, recycle bin, computer etc.. have all disappeared from my desktopm. I have gone into control panel and reselected the icons to appear but when I go back to my desktop it's still blank?

    Any ideas how to get them back???

    Cheers!

    Jay

    There's an option in Vista that lets you change which directory is used as the desktop directory. If you change it to something else, that other directory won't have any links in it so you won't see any icons. I think you can fix this with:

    Right Click on desktop >Properties>Location tab>Restore Default button according to google.
    Also see link on this page, I can't get it to open though:
