Easy question

I have an xp machine that has a blank desktop. Every item on the desktop is
on a toolbar on the left. I have tried creating shortcuts to the desktop,
also properties of my computer\customize desktop and checked the options.
Nothing appears! When I sign on under the admin\domain profile it's fine.
However the local admin + a domian user account come up blank.

From Windows XP Help and Support

Right-click the desktop.

Point to Arrange Icons By, and then click on

Show Desktop Icons Hide or show all desktop icons. When this command is
checked, desktop icons are displayed on your desktop.
