Minimise any open windows, then Right click anywhere on the desktop.

Select "Arrange Icons by"

Click on "Show Desktop Icons"



Hope this is of help to you.

Another thing to check:

Yet again, minimize everything.
Right click on the desktop and choose "Properties"
Click on the "Desktop" tab
Click on the "Customize Desktop" button
There should be a section called "Desktop Icons". Make sure the ones you want are showing.
