Desktop items don't appear Desktop Blank

[Guest boe]

Hello,

 

I have a PC that is running WIndows XP Pro SP2. It doesn't show any

desktop icons. I can try to drag items there but they don't show. I'm

just running standard desktop - no active desktop addons. I went and reset

it to the standard bliss desktop - no special themes. I've verified there

is both a visible user desktop folder with items in it as well as an all

user desktop with items showing. I've scanned it two ways for viruses - no

viruses. I'm not sure what has changed.

 

Any suggestions on resolving it?

Right click on your desktop. On the menu that appears, move your mouse pointer

up to "Arrange Icons By". Another menu should appear. Make sure there's a check

mark next to "Show Desktop Icons". Click on that item if it's not checked.

 

Good luck
