Windows Vista My desktop icons have dissapeared

[geno368]

My cousin brought me his Acer Aspire running Vista for me to clean up. I have done this, but he has no icons on his desktop. He does have a desktop background picture. Furthermore, I attempted to add 2 new icons and they don't appear as well. there a setting somewhere to fix this?
Thank you

Right click any blank area or the desktop and choose View->Show Desktop Icons.
