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.
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.
