Dude! Where’s my icons? What to do when all your desktop icons disappear

All your icons are gone off of your desktop and you can’t bring them back.

It’s an easy fix:

1. Right-click on your desktop
2. Click Arrange Icons By (or something similar depending on your version of Windows)
3. Click Show Desktop Icons

Wait a few seconds and all of your icons will come back. If they don’t you should get a Mac or Ubuntu computer.
