What did you change? New motherboard? New disk?

Is the disappearance a one time/first time event or do the shortcut icons continually disappear after being re-created?

They have been gone for a good bit now. Just one day turned my PC On and they changed to that.

1. Just check if all drives are properly connected to cables or not.
2. Try opening programs from their installation directory.
3. Check if all drives are detected.
