You can create a desktop wallpaper and assign it via Group Policy which would be the better way. What text are you trying to toss to the Desktop?

Yep pretty much you can use any icon out there.  Or any picture as long as you don't try to sell it.

for some questions this form of question and answer is unsuitable, a dialog would be more useful. ok anyway -\ntry the following (if not already done): right click on a free area on the desktop and select "arrange symbols" and then click "arrange automatically". this will place your desktop icons on a fix location. then try again to click on a icon - does it still disappear ?

The Show Desktop icon is not an ordinary program shortcut. If the icon is deleted, the procedure for re-creating the icon is not obvious. To manually re-create the Show Desktop icon, follow these steps:\n1. Click Start , click Run, type notepad, and then click OK.\n2. In Notepad, type the following text on individual lines:\n[Shell]\nCommand=2\nIconFile=explorer.exe,3\n[Taskbar]\nCommand=ToggleDesktop\n3. On the File menu, click Save As, and then save the file to your desktop as Show Desktop.scf.\n\nNote Notepad might automatically append a .txt extension to the file name. Remove this extension if present. The file name should be Show Desktop.scf.\nThe file must now be moved to the correct folder in the user profile to appear in the Quick Launch toolbar. To manually do this, use one of the following methods.\n\n\n\n1.Use Windows Explorer to locate the following folders:\n\nMicrosoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 98\nWindows&#92;Application Data&#92;Microsoft&#92;Internet Explorer&#92;Quick Launch\n\nMicrosoft Windows NT, Microsoft Windows 2000, and Microsoft Windows XP\nC:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;Username&#92;Application Data&#92;Microsoft&#92;Internet Explorer&#92;Quick Launch\n\nNote Username refers to the account name where you want to put the icon.\n2.Use the mouse to drag the Show Desktop.scf file to the Quick Launch folder.\n3.Click Move Here.

HOW IS THIS QUESTION RELATED TO DESKTOPS?

If your question is that when you double-click desktop icons, your program doesn't launch, the answer should be in what happens when you double-click.  When I am faced with that situation, Windows gives me a dialog box asking me to choose a program with which to launch the file.  \n\nIt's also possible that the programs that launch these icons have been unintentionally uninstalled.
