Desktop icons disappearing

The majority of my desktop icons disappear from my desktop intermittently.  I believe they are all shortcuts to files on the server.  We have rebuilt my network profile a couple times, initially it was a roaming profile.  i have an HP Compaq 6000 pro small form

thanks for any suggestions

Works great!

When are the icons disappearing on you? at certain times or randomly?
Are there any other issues when this happens? IE loss of network drives?
Do they come back if you right click on desktop and press refresh?

i do sometimes get a UNABLE TO CONNECT TO A NETWORK DRIVE error message but all drives are available.  Refresh has no impact.  The icons eventually always disappear after a couple days even though none of them is broken.  They all function when clicked (before they disappear)

You are most welcome
also, make sure that "show desktop icons" is checked when you right click on desktop and click "view"
