Desktop icons disappear and will not re-appear until the PC is restarted one or more times.  This is on an XP machine.  It had a virus a while back that was removed.  After that, the desktop icons disappeared and I ran the unhide.exe program which fixed it for some time.  Now we have the problem again intermittently and the PC needs to be restarted multiple times sometimes to get the icons to reappear.  Current virus/malwares scans come up clean.  Any ideas?

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
