What icons are missing? System icons or also those you placed on the
desktop yourself? What's the history of this problem? When did this first
happen? Right after starting windows or while you were working in it? What
do you mean that "Right-clicking in the desktop has no result". Does
nothing appear? Normally after right clicking, click on Personalize, then
in the left pane click on Change desktop icons.

Have you tried a system restore to before the problem arose?
