Restoring/fixing file?

I was cleaning up my hard drice and somehow lost the
C:/windows/system32/config/systemprofile/Desktop file. I still have
everything hidden in my drive, but my desktop is pretty much cleared up,
except for the recycle bin and computer icons. How do I fix this problem?
Thanks in advance!

I went there and can't find any "Desktop" file or folder in the
systemprofile folder.

Thanks for checking! I re-installed Vista and got everything back...took
awhile, but it was worth it!
