    Dissapearing icons


    I hope I am in the right forum for this, but a strange thing happened when I booted up this morning.
    All the shortcut icons on my desktop are missing
    Everything else is o/k and the taskbar at the bottom of the screen is there.
    Anyone have this before?

    Thanks for any replies

    have you tried right-click on desktop >> view >> show desktop icons?

    maybe it's been turned off accidentally?

    do the shortcuts show up in the desktop folder in windows explorer?
