I believe that a new install of XP only shows a couple of icons and any

others are shortcuts that you put there yourself if you want to.

To add the My Computer, My Network Places, Internet Explorer, and My Documents icons back

to your desktop:

 

1. Right-click the desktop, and then click Properties.

2. On the Desktop tab, click Customize Desktop.

3. Under Desktop icons, click to select the check boxes of the icons you want to view.

4. Click OK two times.
