Answer 3

if all are system icons .. then you can simple restore it .. by doing this , right click on desktop , go to properties , then desktop tab .. and customize ... and select icon that you want ...

and if you are talking about other icons .. like shortcut's icons .. then simple go to original files and right click on it and say .. send it desktop ( create shortcut ) ....

lets see what helps you ...  

Answer 4

I'm not sure, but it probably just put the icons in the recycle bin.

Simply open up the recycle bin and click "Restore all Items" on the left side.
