    Can't help you with the first two, but desktop icons are found if you right click on the desktop and pick "Personalize" on the context menu, then up on the left side of the control panel you'll see "Change Desktop Icons".

    wow, that truely is basic :)

    you could try invoking the desktop icons dialog directly, by entering following in the Run command dialog

    rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,Web,0
