Another, lesser possibility is that the folder was made invisible to the finder. Open the desktop folder in your user folder and then use the Invisibles app or some similar app to make invisible items visible.
You can also search for invisible items within finder by adding a "visibility" criteria to the name criteria within search--use the + symbol to add search criteria.
Good luck.

I have recently had a folder "vanish" from my desktop. It unfortunately held inportant documents and I very much need to retrieve it. I exclusively run under my id which has administrator priveledges, and have no-one else who would have access to the machine. This problem is very likely a dumb move on my part (like trashing and emptying) but perhaps it is some machine related glitch. Being fairly new to OSX, I would appreciate any insights you veterans would have
