LOCATION IS NOT AVAILABLE C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is not accessible. Acess denied. Also half of the icons in control panel are missing also. Can't do a rstore. HELP!!!!
Why they have disappeared i can't say, other than XP will often ASK if you wish to put un-used shortcuts into another folder called UN-USED ICONS in your "my documents" directory. Go to your program files folder on your C drive, then right click on the item you want and select "send to desktop as shortcut" Do an Antivirus scan to be sure you have no nasties on your machine. Did this help?
