How can I "rebuild my desktop"?

I have lost the thumbnail image from all but 1 of the .jpegs on my desktop. A long time ago, one could "rebuild the desktop" which would restore those images. I have no idea how to do it now and no idea what to ask for or look-up. If anyone remembers this option or knows what it's called today or knows how to accomplish this, I would appreciate some help.

That’s a Mac OS 9-era procedure which doesn’t have an equivalent in Mac OS X.

Ok, then how do I get those thumbnails to reappear in place of the generic document icons. Believe it or not, this is important to me. Also, believe it or not, 20+ years ago I was a Mac guru, who answered everyone's Mac questions at home and at work. Since retiring I've lost interest in staying on top of the various system mods.

I would still like a useable, non-insulting answer to my question.

I agree that losing the ability to perform things like a simple rebuilding of the desktop is frustrating when you want to tune-up your Mac.
Generic icons on the desktop could be a memory problem. I'd suggest getting as much as possible off the desktop,

or at least creating a folder to drop the icons into. Ultimately, a memory upgrade might be the answer.

I've read that repairing permissions helps. I've used Applejack in single user mode.

This takes you beneath the graphic user interface.
