missing desktop folders and files

I was on vacation to vegas for a week and when i got back i decided t
use my laptop to check some mail and get back on track for the rest o
the summer. About 1-2 hours later a nice amount of my desktop icons jus
decide to disappear. All my folders and word documents arent visible a
all. The only icons that are visible are shortcuts to programs. Thos
documents are useful to me, if anybody knows how I can make my deskto
files and folders reappear it would be much appreciated
