Susan,You're looking first for the View tab when in Windows Explorer | Tools | Options. So, open Windows Explorer. Then Shift +tab and then right-arrow to the view tab control. Press the tab key about twice. You will come to a list of options. Now you will arrow up/down through this. See if "show my documents on the desktop" is there. it isn't on mine, but I already have the my documents icon on my desktop showing anyway. If it isn't on yours, well there will be another way.
