Lost Icons

To enable those icons in Windows XP, right click on your desktop and choose Properties. Click on the Desktop tab and press the Customize Desktop button.

Next, under the General tab, check any of the icons you want to appear on your desktop. Click OK and you're all set!

To enable your icons in Windows Vista or Windows 7, right click the desktop and choose Personalize, then choose Change Desktop Icons. From here you'll be able to restore your old favourites from XP to your Vista or Windows 7 desktop! Click OK and you're good to go!

Once you do that, they will all be returned to your desktop in full view. You can choose from the icons of My Documents, My Computer, My Network Places and more. Now, on the other hand, you may want to take some of these icons off your desktop. If that's the case, just uncheck them and they will then be out of your way. It is a pretty simple procedure in either case!
