    desktop files/folders don't automatically appear anymore


    The thread title says it all. In order to get my desktop files and folders to appear I have to right click and go to View. Most of the time the files/folders will then appear. Sometimes I have to also go down to "Show desktop icons" before they appear. But previously they have always appeared automatically when I boot my computer.

    Does anyone know why this new development and if it can be fixed?

    :)
