Did you try pressing F8 during the boot process to get into "safe mode"? Do the icons display after this?
Some virus programs disable "explorer.exe" )the Windows process that displays the desktop icons). You can search this forum for help in removing the virus.
Good Luck

1. Open Task Manager (press Ctrl+Alt+Del, then click Task Manager).
2. On the Applications tab, click New Task at the bottom right of the window.
3. Type explorer.exe, then click OK.
If nothing sinister caused it to disappear, it should all come back as it was and you can stop panicking, breathe a sigh of relief, and continue working.
If that doesn't work, then try this:
1. Open Task Manager (press Ctrl+Alt+Del, then click Task Manager).
2. Go to the Processes tab.
3. Click on the Image Name column header to sort the list alphabetically.
4. Find all explorer.exe processes -- select each, then click End Process for each one.
5. On the Applications tab, click New Task at the bottom right of the window.
6. Type explorer.exe, then click OK.

above should be done on a normal start-up. Then run your anti-virus or download Malwarebytes.
