tech: missing desktop icons

[Virginia Martin <mamamartin@HOTMAIL.COM>]

Have any of you run across this problem:  ALL icons mysteriously disappeared
from my Windows desktop.  The only thing left was the taskbar.

One of our very knowledgeable students said it might be caused by a virus
called "rabbit."  Have you heard of this?  The student was able to solve the
problem by going into edit registry and deleting the line that said "no
icons."  I'm wondering if this is a true virus or if it's just tampering by
a student. (The one who solved the problem was not in the library today when
the incident happened.)

I would appreciate any information you might have.
