Missing icons

I use Xp home SP2.

I recently scanned a document and saved to desktop. as i did the save all
the desktop icons disappeared,including the scanned dociment.

The all reside in the desktop folder inc' the scanned doc. My
screen(desktop) shows XP's lovely sky and countyside and nothing else. The
screen is no longer interactive. I have no icons, mouse click left or right
or both does nothing.

I have opened the desktop folder and tried to drag & drop, copy and paste
the icons from the folder to the desktop, no go. when the icon gets to the
desktop it changes to a stop sign. I have tried everything I know and cannot
put the icons on my desktop.
My Pc seems perfectly ok in every respect.

Any suggestions please....... BrianK
