Georges, If these items are not appearing on your Desktop and you wish to open them, go first under the Go menu in the Finder and choose one of the options such as documents folder (cmd-shift-o) or your Home folder (cmd-shift-h). Once a folder is open, you can access any other things through the Sidebar. Alternatively, you can press cmd-comma while on the Desktop to bring up Finder Preferences and check the boxes of the items you wish shown on the Desktop.
