My wife just had this problem at her work with Win2k, though I can't remember exactly what to click. I think you should be able to right click on the background. There is a command in that menu or maybe in the Arrange Icons submenu (like Show Desktop Icons or something) that will bring everything back up. I'll ask my wife in the morning and try to get back to you if you don't find it by then.

No luck with right clicking on the background to get the menu? My wife confirmed that is where she found the show icons command.
