Just make sure the there is no file corruption happen...

Go to Display Properties
At the Effects tab make sure the CHECKBOX, HIDE ICON WHEN DESKTOP IS VIEWED AS WEB PAGE are UNCHECKED..

Coz if your desktop is viewed as webpage all icons will be hide, so uncheck that check box

Alternative.....

At the desktop hit right-click point to Active Desktop and then click View as Web page if there is a check before the text.

That are some configuration that you need to know before making some steps, which sometime can cause other problem...

Delete "ShellIconCache" this file from DOS prompt. This file is hidden and it will be under "C:\windows or winnt ". Windows will create again at startup.
