Can't help you with the first two, but desktop icons are found if you right click on the desktop and pick "Personalize" on the context menu, then up on the left side of the control panel you'll see "Change Desktop Icons".

right, but when i right click, the option Personalize does't appear =/ . My last option is Gadget

wow, that truely is basic

you could try invoking the desktop icons dialog directly, by entering following in the Run command dialog

rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,Web,0
