Icons not appearing on desktop

I have noticed for about a week I've been saving files to my desktop and I cannot see them. If I do a search with windows explorer they are there and I can open them but they don't show up on the desktop. What would acuse this? I am using XP home

That worked fine, I actually tried that right after I posted. What causes this to happen?

My best guess is that the problem is usually somewhere between the chair and the keyboard
