I know I probably did something but all of my icons disappeared from my

desktop. I'm running Windows AP home edition.

 

Thanks,

Try right-clicking on the Desktop, choose Arrange Icons By from the menu,

select Show Desktop Icons on the following menu.

We don't know what you did either and you've provided no information about

your computer so I'm not sure how we can help. As a wild guess, right-click

on an empty area of the Desktop. Left-click on the Arrange icons and you'll

see its submenu. At the bottom of that submenu is an option to show the

Desktop icons. Click on it to put a checkmark next to it. Apply/OK out.

 

If that doesn't do it for you, review some of these links and then post

back:

We all know you're running Windows XP. What we don't know is anything else

about your computer or the problem. We also don't know if you tried my

previous suggestion.

 

Once more (and the last time for me), look at these links to see what

details you need to include in your next post.
