    All of a sudden all of my short cuts disappeared from my desk top. I have right clicked the programs I want from the start menu and "send to desk top" is not an option. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Have you installed any new programs lately? If so, what were they? Have you checked for Malware/Spyware?

    Welcome to WindowsBBS :)

    Orb > All Programs > Right click on program > Send to Desktop - there is no Send to desktop option listed?

    See if this addresses your problem .....

    Send to desktop as shortcut missing

    True Pete, but I was thinking of why they disappeared in the first place.
