desktop icons disappeared after WindowBlinds 10 update

from Stardock Forums

I was just notified of a WindowBlinds update so I downloaded & installed it - after install it is identified in the systray as version 10.82. Since the install, all of my desktop icons are now missing (and are not hidden). Running Windows 7 Professional, WindowBlinds 10.82 and Deskscapes 10 (do not have Fences installed). Any thoughts?

Issue resolved, don't know how though.

I apologize, I signed out of the Forum because I had yardwork to attend to, but every so often I came in and simply restarted my PC via  Windows Start Button>Shutdown>Restart (did not install/uninstall anything) and checked it the next time I came inside. Lo and behold, after a few restarts everything reappeared. However, I have taken note of the PURGE instructions seen above and in some other threads. Next time an issue comes up, it is something I will try before posting. Many thanks, AzDude (LOL, it is your Vintage Oil Scape 4 Wall/Dream that I was trying to make whole again... loveitloveitloveit).
