Since a few days I am having an issue of not being able to display any shortcut (or icons) to anything on my desktop; I can, however, see the desktop full of icons when I view it from the explorer window i. e. when I press Windows+E key and direct myself to the desktop window.
Although I don't consider it as a serious problem, I still want it to be fixed or in fact I would also like to know what caused this problem...!
Please feel free to lay your solutions...
You can also try ending the process & restarting it.. "Task manager" > "Processes">"Explorer.exe">"End process"> "File" > "Run"> "New task"> "Explorer.exe"
If you are using Fences or another desktop organization program it may be hiding them. Some Win7 themes not by Microsoft will cause display problems too.
