Right click on Desktop.
Click Properties.Click Desktop.Then Customize Desktop.Now under General you will find the option of changing desktop icons.
You can do another thing. Delete Iconcache.db from your profile directory(usually C:/Documents and Settings/Username/Local Settings/Application Data).Then restart and it will be automatically created with the default icons.

So you mean in My Computer, not the desktop icons. At the top there is a view tab, should be all you need.

Open Windows Explorer, click Tools, click Folder Options, click View then select Do Not Show Hidden Files And Folders, click apply to all folders.
