You can also get at if from the control panel.

Select Control panel from the start menu. then click on the words
Appearance and Personalization, then click the word personalization, then on
the left hand menu click "change desktop icons"

Re: Can't get back my desktop icons

It's not right click on the desktop and select personalize, it's right click
on the desktop and the choices for arranging icons and show/not show icons
is right there on the menu.
