Click and drag the program you wish to make an icon for from your start menu to the desktop; then drop it, and it will appear.
Alternatively, you can right click on the program in your start menu. Search the menu that pops up for the "Send to" option. On the menu that pops up after that, click on "Desktop (create shortcut)", and it should pop up as an icon on your desktop.
You could also right click the program in your start menu; click "Copy"; go to your desktop; right click, and hit "Paste".
If you want to delete them right click them and then click delete.
If you want to simply hide them you can right click on the desktop and then go to view and uncheck "view desktop icons".
It depends on what 'icons' you want to get back.
If they are the dock icons, then they are either hiding or you have removed them. If they have been removed, got to the Applications folder and just drag them back into the dock. If the entire dock along with the icons is just hiding, then use the keyboard shortcut Command (the Apple key) + D.
If you get rid of an ICON you get rid of the FOLDER!
The Icon is just a pretty looking PATH to the actual folder. So everything that is in that folder is gone also. If you click on the Icon and an empty folder opens or there's nothing in it you need anymore you can trash it. Be absolutely sure you don't need them tho.
You can change the LOOK of an icon.
On a Mac, find a folder icon you like then, right click the icon, select "Get Info" then click once on the "little" icon in the upper part of the window. It should have a narrow shadow around it to show it's been selected, then go to the upper menu and select Edit/Copy then go to the folder you want to change and do the same and just choose Paste at the end.
There are a lot of free icons you can download off the Web.They are just basically empty folders with pretty icons on them.
For Windows XP, click start, RIGHT click "my computer", then click "show on desktop"
download following file, unzip it, and run it. It will make necessary changes to the registry. Restart the computer.

OK, maybe I should clarify. About two-thirds of the icons I had in Start>All Programs are gone. They were mostly things I did not use, but I might need them in the future.
Well they should appear when you power it up and login.
They're called icons.
Icons display text as a picture so they are able to fit on the screen and you can quickly see what each thing is. When you hover over them usually some text appears explaining what it means. Icons also add colour.

Not necessarely. You have to stop icons in the startup. That is the bar of icons in the bottom right corner. Then if you delete the icon, that doesnt delete the files, you will have to uninstall it from your computer by using my computer. ( i cant spell sorry)

It has many icons placed on it . It is the front page of the computer.This,^^,is partly right. The desktop is the screen your computer opens up to when you turn your computer on. It usually has a lot of icons. It is the homepage of your computer.
Computer icons are generally not standard, rather they are varied and each one unique. Computer icons generally depict laptop images or files opening or closing for example.
