If you haven't edited your theme at all, this link will be in the middle of the page beneath the "Related Settings" heading.

For example, you might click This PC or Recycle Bin.
You can also check the box next to a desktop icon's name at the top of the window to make it appear on your desktop, or uncheck the box to remove it from the desktop.
Check the "Allow themes to change desktop icons" box on this window to enable theme-related icon changes.
