Disappearing desktop shortcuts

[Tpek]

I've found an annoying surprise today.
After a while of my computer started running, I noticed I was missing about 5-6 desktop shortcuts for various games.
It just seems like they disappeared, without there being a trace of it in the system/applications/whatever-else logs.

I've found some of the games that had their shortcuts disappear and re-created them, but not all (My desktop has quite a lot of them :P).

I also scanned for any virus or anything else as such and couldn't find it.

So, question is, anyone got a clue as to what, how and why, has happend?  :-[

Does anyone else use your computer?
Perhaps they got the 'there are unused icons on your desktop' message and followed the prompts to delete those icons.

[Tpek]

Nope.

I doubt I clicked on it myself, though it is a possibility.

Plus, I've got some shortcuts that are older and less used than the ones deleted.

Sometimes that clean unused icons prompt comes up at startup and if you don't cancel it right away it'll run.
