Not a Microsoft Word question, but...
The standard desktop icons can be restored by right-clicking on the desktop, selecting display properties, selecting the desktop tab, clicking on advanced, and re-checking the boxes on the icons you want to reappear. |

Which icons? All of them?
If you look in the Recycle Bin, you might find them there and be able to Restore them. Otherwise, use Windows Explorer to find the document or program the icons used to point to. Right-click the item there and choose Send To Desktop (create shortcut). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. proflady wrote: I accidently deleted the icons on my desktop.

It's darned difficult to accidentally delete all of your icons at one time.
Are you sure you didn't just turn them off? Right-click on your desktop -Arrange Icons By - Show Desktop Icons Is it checked or not? If not, click on it. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "proflady" wrote in message ...
