    Default Desktop icons disappeared

    Sorry if this has been posted before I can't find anything under search. I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows Vista Home edition, got it last month through Newegg online deal. All of a sudden I lost all the desktop icons after downloading the Windows updates. I tried my best to get them back, but had no joy. Does someone have any solution?

    Thanks in advance..

    I had this happen with a laptop that was convinced I had two screens and all the icons were on the missing screen.

    Have you every had a second screen connected? .. If you right click and make a new item does that work?

    I think there is an option for this.
    Right click on the desktop and click on the option "Show Desktop Icons"

    I agree with David on this one. This happened to me once and I recovered the icons that way.

    If you right click and make a new shortcut, and the shortcut does not show, try that step above.. otherwise, if you can see new shortcuts, it's just the display issue where the existing icons are on a non-visible desktop.
