When saving to desktop icon dont show up

[razz4]

I am running windows 7 premium 32 bit and as of recently ive had a strange problem. If I download something and set the location to desktop the icon will not show up on my desktop. If i click on look in folder containing it is there. If I delete it and restore it will then show up on my desktop. I can drag things out on to the desktop and they will show up. It seems that only things I download to the desktop do not show up. Any idea how to fix this? I have tried removing some icons and that didn't help I am out of ideas.

If one or more of your icons are not displaying correctly you could try rebuilding the icon cache.

It could also be you have damaged or corrupt system files. You could try running a System File Checker scan in an elevated command prompt (Option 2.) If it finds any problems run the scan at least 3 times.
