Desktop
Is it the picture theme you are talking about or all the icons, and did they move around first before they disappeared?
Two areas come to mind.
One make sure somehow you didn't get sideways and are not in a different user.
The desktop folder in XP is by default located at C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Desktop.
You could review each of them in Explorer from an admin account.
The other factor could be a sysprep function that autocleans the desktops unused icons by default. I like to have that turned off, and I don't think it takes files.
Anyway, if it did there should be an 'Unused Desktop Shortcut' folder on the desktop in the stead of the old ones.
Here's the article on dealing with stopping it from 'helping' :
