Ctr + Alt + Delete // File - New Task (run...) //

I'm using windows 7 64-bit after I restarted my computer all my desktop icons were missing but the task bar was there and everything worked fine.I went to C:/Users/.../desktop/
the files from my desktop were still there but I just couldn't see them.
This is how I fixed it.Hope it will help someone
Go to desktop then press right mouse button , from the menu choose View --> Show Desktop icons
I don't know what changed it because I'm the only one who uses this computer.It worked for me however it wasn't a virus it was some program that changed this I'm certain of it.

In task manager select the performance tab, then click File and you will see the Run New task item.

Under Task Manager use File Run Explore.exe
Then create a new profile when this is done. Sounds like you had a virus.
Good luck

hey man I liked what you have suggested but it's serious problem regarding companies....so are you sure that after creating new profile problem will solve?
Because I noticed this problem on my company's vise president's laptop, that's why this is serious, I was going to format system.
i'm also sure that he is having virus in system. But creating profile will be far better than formatting.
Reply as soon as possible, I mean really it's a solution, or have you tried it, because if this will not solve the problem then he will shout that why didn't I formatted as it will take time for once only.
Thank you....

go to the task manager ctrl+alt+dlt
click file run
browse
then find the windows file and open the task folder
and everything will pop right back up.

If none of the other solutions work, you can rebuild the desktop. This is the only solution that worked for me.
