What did you download?  What theme or desktop?
The author may have set it up that way with an alternate way to access the desktop icons.

More info = more help.  :)

which icons?


destop? taskbar? both?


point is dtx themes look better without the desktop icons
for desktop icons:
you can:
get to your desktop folder via the start menu
use a shortcut in the dtx theme to open the desktop folder
put a shortcut in the dtx theme to open the desktop folder
switch to builder mode, configure the theme to show the desktop icons
ObjectDock - Access shortcuts and frequently used applications from an animated dock.

I dowloaded several. But this is the one i want - https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=3844&libid=31 or maybe this one https://www.wincustomize.com/zoom.aspx?skinid=3840&libid=31 It does´t really matter sents the same thing happens to everything, EVERYTHING disspears.

When i´ve got a deskop folder and tryed to put the icons from there to the new deskopX theme. But that didn´t work. It got al weird -n- stuff.
But what am i suppose to do without icons? I cant acces EVERYTING from My computer yunno.

Those artists built their desktops without icons.  It's an option.
