    Recently, when a worm virus hit, I lost the 'My Documents' icon on my Desktop. I could not find a way to recreate/reset it, so I simply created a shortcut to that dir. BUT I'd like to know if there is a way to get the original system icon back. I tried fixing/rebuilding icons using Tweakui but no dice.

    Thx,

    Right-click on the Desktop - Properties - Desktop - Customize Desktop - General and check My Documents.
