    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!
