Disappearing shortcut icons from Desktop

[JEGoldbeck]

On two occasions, several of the shortcut icons have disappeared from my Desktop for no apparent reason or action on my part. Any thoughts?

Hello JE, and welcome to Seven Forums.

If you mean that the shortcuts have been removed completely from your desktop, then it may the System Maintenance Troubleshooter doing it if the shortcuts are broken or haven't been used in 3 months. Turning this off will stop this.
