Hey Shiva, Maybe its a policy, you could check it out. -Use the taskmanager to run c:\winnt\poledit.exe -In the File-menu select "open registry" -go to "local user" -> "shell" -> "restrictions" -See if "Hide all items on desktop" is marked
( Make sure the policy template used is "winnt.adm" ) Hope this helps, let me know in any case
