Download and install a copy of TweakUI for WinXp TweakUI_WinXP_Setup (download.microsoft.com) and use that to restore your desktop icons.

Right click the desktop, click 'Arrange Icons by' and in the dropdown box that appears, click 'Show Desktop Icons' this should place a tick there, and the icons will reappear on the desktop.

cheers,
