Is It Normal To Find These Items On The Desktop

In Windows Explorer on the left navigation panel, if I click on Desktop. in addition to what I have saved on the actual Desktop, it also shows 6 items that are not seen on the actual Desktop. These are - Libraries, Homegroup, User Folder, Computer, Network and Control Panel. All have the subheading System Folder. They are found at the top of the page along with The Recycle Bin which is there by default and seen on the real Desktop. Is this normal? Why are they not seen on the actual Desktop?

Thank you

My problem is not this. When I click on "Desktop" from Windows Explorer Navigation Pane, it shows the above mentioned items that are not shown on my real Desktop (the Desktop I see when I look at my monitor without any open programs)

They are not shown on the Desktop because they are System Folders and by Default are not set to show. :)

Even they are there by default, they don't show on the desktop unless you un hide them.
Right click on the desktop - Personalize - Change desktop Icons - choose what you want to see.

I have done this. Thank you.
