    If your still wondering, I had the same symptoms on my old computer. Mine was a virus which labeled itself icon.exe.
    http://www.file.net/process/icon.exe.html
    It infects the windows process and works from there. Gone with a virus scanner.

    Possibly a redundant solution but have you tried just right clicking the desktop and selecting show icons.

    that or run explorer.exe through the task manager

    It happened to me, just hadn't thought of checking it.
