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

    Select "Arrange Icons by"

    Click on "Show Desktop Icons"

    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.
