You haven't accidently hidden desktop Icons have you?
Right click on the desktop & select "Arrange Icons By" & make sure "Show Desktop Icons" is checked.
Just a thought :D

Actually, I didn't do it, but a friend did and could not explain to me what she had done to cause them to disappear. Thnks for the help it should solve the problem and make me look smart.
