I know this sound stupid but you are clicking the icon once then pressing delete key? then removing them from the recycle bin? this is the normal proccess for deleteing them

You don't have any programs loaded like deep freeze?

Also check if there in this folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop and C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\Desktop
