I hope this will help you guys to resolve your problem.

Its not very Hard to Fix this Problem.
I had this Error Coming up :

C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop refers to be unavailable.

Now to fix.

Go to that location that refers to be Unavailable.
In my case its C:\Documents And Settings\ and Go to Your account,
In my Case : C:\Documents And Settings\Gerrit\

And Create a new Folder and call it "Desktop" ,

Now go back to your Desktop.
And your Icons would be There.
And the Problem must be Fixed.

Best Regards, Gerrit
