Desktop suddenly covered in icons for everything in my home folder

[Graeme Nichols <gnichols tpg com au>]

Hello,

Suddenly my desktop became covered in icons for everything in my home 
folder.

My problem is how to set it back to what is in my Desktop folder.

Can someone please point me in the right direction. I have checked 
everywhere I know and cannot find where to do it. IIRC I have to point 
to the desktop folder somehow.

Thanks.
