Why has my desktop disappeared?

Desktop Icons Missing or Disappeared. The icons can be missing from your desktop for two reasons: either something has gone wrong with the explorer.exe process, which handles the desktop, or the icons are simply hidden. Usually it’s an explorer.exe problem if the entire taskbar disappears also.
