Go to: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx and download Tweakui. Install that, then find its icon in control panel and double click.  I believe on the explorer tab you can check boxes to display or remove desktop icons.  Check all the tabs because there are lots of customized adjustments you can make.
