icons missing from Desktop
Hi. I am having a very strange problem with my Sony VAIO. Coule of days back, I got a virus which would not let me do anything but to buy their softwere for computer maintenance. I decided to do System Restore on an earlier date. It was done successfully but with a probelm. I had tons of stuff including folders, doc files, pics, excel sheet etc on my Desktop. After the system restore all icons disappeard from DT. I had backups of some of the files so I tried to copy my files on the desktop but it gives me msg that file already exists but there is no file which i can see. I have tried everything possible, includind right click, view, show icons, refreshing desktop, checking the file properties if they are hidden, they are not. I can see the doc files when I open MS-Word and open files from desktop and I can save on Desktop but on Desktop I cannot see those files. I have other icons visible on the DT.
I am using Windows 7 home premium. Any clues what is going on and how can it be fixed. I have files on DT but I cant see them Even after I have copied from backup to DT.
I need serious help please. Thanks in advance.
Regards
