Question
desktop icons disappeared will not permit putting shortcuts on desktop to replace them
Answer
Hello Clem how are you doing
it could be a virus or a setting that was set by mistake so lets try the easy stuff first
try to do the following
right click on your desktop then choose "arrange icon by" and then choose " show desktop icons"
if it has a check mark next to it , click it to disable it, then go back again to it and reclick it to enable it
other thing is right click on desktop , and choose properties, display properties dialog will show up , click on desktop tab and the top and then click on "customize desktop" then click on "web" tab and uncheck the box that says " Lock Desktop icons" if its checked.
and under webpages make sure there is nothing checked in the list " if there was a list"
let me know how it goes
take care and have a nice day
