Items not appering on desktop

[JWM]

Hi

Whenever i download anything i usually send it to my desktop first for easyness however the downloaded items no longer appear on my desktop!
Now if i go into My Documents and navigate to my desktop there it is but its not on the actual desktop.
This has just starting happing and although i can go through My Documents to get it ok it's kinda annoying.
Does anyone know how to rectify this?
Im running Window 7

Cheers
