This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant.

Did you delete the icons from your "Desktop" folder in your home?

You can always delete your .kde profile in home, log out, log back in and everything will be set back to default.
Any custom setting you had for the KDE environment will be lost and need to be re-configured.
No need to do a re-install of the OS, this isn't Windows.

How do you assume the OP runs KDE?
@entrencher, again... which OS and which Desktop Manager are you running on? Does the panel show up? |

One more solution
I found out the reason, I use YUM and while removing some other program, Nautilus got removed along with it.

Right the solution of this problem is :
run the following command :
yum install nautilus
N.B. Your yum repository must be configured.
