Your problem sounds more like something that happened with your Windows program.

Anne, whats mostly likeley wrong, is
your computer suffered from some kind
of malfunction and windows might have
been reinstalled or something. either
way, youve probably lost alot of programs, information, and etc. You'll
need to reinstall everything if so. This means drivers, programs, everything.
Oh, the other possibility is that you are on a different user account? its hard
to deal with problems like this without personally looking at the computer. Next time i suggest that you periodicly backup important files onto an external harddrive for safe keeping.
It sounds like you are experiencing some issues with your computer, specifically with missing icons and changes to your desktop. There could be a few reasons for this, such as a software glitch or a possible virus infection. Here's what you can do to resolve the issue:
1. Restart your computer: Sometimes, a simple restart can fix minor software glitches. Go to the Start menu, click on the Power button, and select Restart.
2. Check the Recycle Bin: It's possible that you may have accidentally deleted the icons or files. Open the Recycle Bin on your desktop and look for the missing icons. If you find them, right-click on each icon and choose "Restore" to put them back on the desktop.
3. Perform a malware scan: It's important to make sure your computer is not infected with any viruses or malicious software. Install and run a reliable antivirus program, such as Avast or AVG, and perform a full system scan. If any threats are detected, quarantine or remove them.
4. Restore the desktop settings: If the issue persists, you can try restoring the default desktop settings. Right-click on the desktop, go to "View" and make sure the "Show desktop icons" option is checked. Additionally, you can right-click on the desktop, select "Personalize," and choose a different background/wallpaper if your previous one is missing.
5. Reinstall missing applications: If your Microsoft Office applications are missing, you may need to reinstall them. Locate your original installation disc or download the software from the official Microsoft website, then follow the installation instructions.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be advisable to seek technical support from a computer technician or contact the manufacturer of your computer for further assistance.
