| | After reading and digging into the Troubleshooter, I think that it's something that I really can't see why MS decided to change the control of icons compared to previous versions. I can imagine a lot of people wouldn't have a clue why their icons are missing because of this automated deal, and they would just end up manually re-adding them again and again after they disappear each time. I never noticed this issue because I don't keep any icons on my desktop, besides the recycle bin. |

| | Yeah, I think it would be best if that option was turned off by default instead. |

| | gets wierder..... I just moved all of the icons/files/folders that were appearing into a folder called DeskTopCrap and rebooted. Now all of the missing files,etc... have reappeared on the desktop. I guess the windows 7 Desktop has an icon limit?  |

| | Strange, I'm not aware of any limit other than what is able to actually fit on the desktop grid. I'm happy to hear that you got them all back though. |
