I had a similar problem. I accidently unclicked Show Desktop Icons. So I thought aah no big deal I'll just right click and click it again. But I couldn't right click. So after a little while of looking around I finally solved it. Not sure if it will work for you but it did for me.
First go here

scroll down to number 72 and click on it. After you open it, it will say desktop DISABLED. Open it again and it will say ENABLED. It should show a white background saying to restore desktop. When that happened I right clicked and could show the icons again. If that white background doesn't come up try disabling it again. Hope it helps.
