I know this sounds silly, and I'm not sure if you have lost all the icons on your desktop or just some..but if all of them have somehow disappeared have you tried right clicking on your desktop and going to "arrange items by" and checking that you have the option "show desktop icons" ticked? |

Did they disappear at the precisely the moment you uninstalled deja vu? |

It's just some Dee - or at least that is my understanding. Good tip though! |

I am puzzled as to why the machine had to reboot itself when deja vu is only a plug-in. |

Well you can always see what happens but I don't think it would solve your problem. Did you see my last question about the last file you opened/viewed and what software was used? |

The folders that have disappeared from your desktop - what did they contain? |

ok think of the last photograph you looked at and the software you used to view it. Open that piece of software from your Start menu and then if you click on the File menu (top left) that last photograph you viewed should be listed there so select it and see if it opens. |

I haven't looked at any pictures lately, the last was paint and those images are in a file that didn't disappear. |
