    If you happen to remember what program or icon it was, you can find it under Start\Program then when you point to that program, right click and drag it to your desktop and release the mouse. Choose Copy by clicking your left mouse, the icon will be restored. Make sure you close or minimize all windows to avoid drag and drop the icon to a folder instead of your desktop. If you can't find that program under Start\Programs, you still can restore the icon if you remember the name and can search for it from Windows Explore.

    I would try this. Click on Start and then all programs. Go to Accessories and then next to System Tools and then to System Restore. Put in a date before you lost your icons and restore your system back to that date. You should get them all back.
