Lost Tray Icons

Hi,
I have had my iPad for a while now. Every so often I loose everything in the tray. I am not clear on how this occurs. I can search for the apps, for example Safari, and its still installed however it goes missing and its not relocated to a folder or any other location, it just goes missing. As a matter of fact ALL the icons in the tray seem to vanish at the same time. The only way I have found to resolve this is to reset the home screen which in turns blows away all my folders. So far this has happened about 6 times. At this point I am about ready to just stop using the device because of this. Its a huge pain to restore all my apps back to folders. While this is my first post in the apple forums I have asked this same question on other forums and searched for some time on the web and found no other instances of this. I have found folks that lost 1 icon , such as the app store icon, but never ALL the tray icons. If this is the result of something I am doing wrong I would love to know what that is. Also is there a way to resolve this without doing a reset on the home screen?

Thanks

Chris
