I followed your suggestion but nothing happened.
>Click Start> Run and type in %userprofile%
That opened up my profile but did not highlight anything though.
I also tried system restore to the point of two weeks ago. Icons were not

I can manually re-create those icons except for the icon of "Show desktop".
Please advise me where to make a shortcut for "Show Desktop".
TIA . Craig
