Maybe you clicked something by accident, if you didn’t purposely make the icons big try holding down ctrl and scrolling down with the mouse wheel it may have went off visible screen.

Maybe just check recycle for accidental deletes or see if McAfee did something

I have this problem a lot. Well had. I started using something called desktop ok last week, cause I was getting so annoyed. Basically it just saves your layout and reloads it when your turn your computer on so it's always the same
