Hello MrT, and welcome to Seven Forums.
You can right click on Favorites and click on restore Favorite links. If that does not restore it, then you can go to C:\Users\(username) and drag the Desktop folder into the Favorites area to copy it back there.
Hope this helps,
Shawn

Brink, are you sure that's going to work. Desktop is not part of Libraries, it is part of Favorites. I would try to right click on Favorites and use "Restore favorite links". I am not sure either whether that works because I did not want to experiment with my system - but it seems more logical. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway - 2 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista and Windows7, sometimes Ubuntu and Fedora CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to 2.5GHz Quad Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse terrible devices, who wants them Hard Drives 5x HDD, 2x SSD, 6x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

Not really an answer directly to your question but--
WIN + D will always get you the Desktop.
Here WIN denotes that key with funny looking wavy flag on it. Simply hold the key down and tap the D key.
Another approach:
WIN + T (to bring up the taskbar if you've got it hidden)
On the far right-hand side of the taskbar is a narrow rectangle.
Click on that rectangle or just pause over it to get a view of your desktop
I've never used the Desktop folder approach as I prefer the two approaches I've mentioned. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba Satellite L305D laptop OS MS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit CPU AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core QL-64, 2100 Mhz, 2 Cores Motherboard TOSHIBA Portable PC (Socket M2/S1G1) Memory 4.0GB (2x2GB) DDR2 @ 333MHz 5-5-5-15 Graphics Card ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics (Toshiba) Sound Card Realtek High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays Generic PnP Monitor @ 1280x800 Screen Resolution 1280 x 800 Keyboard standard PS/2 Keyboard Mouse HP Wireless Optical Mobile Mouse Model FHA-3410 Hard Drives 125.03GB Corsair CSSD-V128GB2 ATA Device (IDE)

Even easier - if you click on the very bottom right of the screen in the taskbar (to the right of the clock), that brings the desktop up. And if you click again, you are back to where you were. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway - 2 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista and Windows7, sometimes Ubuntu and Fedora CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to 2.5GHz Quad Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse terrible devices, who wants them Hard Drives 5x HDD, 2x SSD, 6x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |
