I assume you mean file and folder icons on the Desktop and not the disk icons.

If so, what you could do is open a Finder window to

<user home folder>/Desktop/

If those files and folder are still on your Desktop but somehow off the screen, they should show up there in the Finder window showing your Desktop folder.

If they can be seen there, move them to a new location, such as a new folder in your Documents folder. Then, move them from there back onto your Desktop.
