Pope:
Try changing your screen resolution to see if that’ll bring back your icons. Go to your Display Control Panel and click on the “Settings” tab. Move the “Screen Area” slider to another size, then click the Apply button, then the OK and Yes buttons. Move the “Screen Area” slider back to your original size then click the OK, OK and Yes buttons… Hopefully your icons will return.
If that didn’t work, try removing the icon cache as outlined in the following link:
Good luck and tell us which worked.
