Ed,
May be you are using some application that has a feature permitting you to
disable all desktop icons. If not then try rightclick on the
destop-->properties, on the Desktop Tab click on Customize Desktop, the
Desktop Items dialog box will appear. Now on the General Tab be sure that
the Items you want to appear to be checked. And on the Web Tab of the
Desktop Items dialog box click to uncheck Lock Desktop Items.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Where have my icons gone?


> Hello Listers: First of all, I'm running WinXP Pro with 2.0 ghz, 1.0 ghz
DDR memory, and the usual stuff. My problem is, I've lost all and, I mean
ALL of my desktop icons including Recycle Bin. Previously,I had moved some
of them down to the taskbar for instant launching but, not all of them. They
work fine. If I add another APP to my system and it asks if I want to place
an Icon on my desktop and I agree, when it finishes installing, I go to my
desktop and the Icon is not there. Is there some way I can retrieve these
icons to my now blank desktop?  I hope this makes sense to anyone out there.
TIA  Ed Bogert
