desktop short-cut icons disappeared - SOLVED

A mystery to me: all the default desktop short-cut icons have vanished. Is there an easy way to either find and/or resurrect them without having to resort to reinstalling Puppy to my HD? I'd really rather not have to go through the process of "manually" rebuilding my PuppyPin file in /root...
