Jerry,
Is there any chance that you see a folder on your desktop labled "Unused
Shortcuts"? If so, double click it. You might find your missing icons in
that folder. WinXP has a "feature" that will automatically delete icons if
you don't use them, but it usually puts them in a folder on your desktop.

Subject: [24hoursupport] Loss of Desktop Shortcut Icons after MS Security
Updates
Open Message:
Last evening I ran the MS system update for critical and essential program
updates that I might need. Found that I lacked five. Downloaded them and
noticed that had a quick download to dnlod folder but was extremely slow
placing them in my system (my dnloads are to a dnload folder then open them
to computer... can better keep track of what-when updates were made). After
rebooting the PC I noticed that I had lost the shortcut Icons on the
desktop... ALL of them. I immediately tried "go-back" and found several
"OK" locations. I returned to previous day opening. This did not recover
the lost Desktop Shortcut Icons. After a second reboot I tried Safe Mode
Administrator and found same lack of Desktop Shortcut Icons.
The only way I now have to access programs is by the " start" button and
this makes it most difficult.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to correct my problem?? I would
like to return to having the shortcuts (selected) on the desktop to more
quickly access the programs.
Your thoughts, please.
