Desktop Icons won't stay on desktop even when I right-click and select "Show" them

My desktop icons disappear any time my laptop recovers from sleep mode
or when it starts up from a complete shut down. I right click the
desktop and according to the dropdown menu under "View," I HAVE selected
"Show Desktop Icons," but every time I have to uncheck that, then
recheck it for my icon to show up. And I have to do this EVERY SINGLE
TIME. Help! Thanks.

Has it always done this or is this something that only started happening
recently?

How long have you had the laptop, have you ever updated the video
drivers and can you connect this behavior with any recent events?

Make and model? Is there anything mentioned on the makers' website that
sounds similar?

It could be almost anything from drivers to a virus, or simply that
Explorer (Windows explorer not IE) has been damaged, More information
may help someone to help you with the problem.

Hi. It is maybe a month old. It's an Asus Noteboo
N80Vc/N80Vr/N80Vm/N80n/N80b series. It has an Nvidia High Def Card (
don;t know what model-sorry). It started about a week ago, had not don
it before that, and I haven'tloaded any new software or anything since.

I am a complete noob to Vista (and so far I miss XP) and though I a
not stupid, thi is normaly my software engineer hubby's realm, like th
medic al health of our family is mine. But he isn't available t
help

There are no viruses that can be found via Bit Defender or othe
programs, and the machine really is BRAND NEW and I don;t really thin
it has been exposed to any hidden viruses that could already be hidin
thr daily detailed scans. I really can;t think of anything I have don
since my husband got the machine and eveything was first loaded.
haven;t ben able to find info on this exact problem-similar ones, bu
all the advice was to select "Show Desktop Icons" in the View dropdow
menu

Hope that helps. Thanks!!!
