I don't use Ubuntu desktop myself, but I think it uses Gnome 3, which
by default has desktop icons turned off. (The fundamental idea behind
Gnome 3 is to help you get more done by removing all the useful
options and features that might distract or confuse you.) But there
are some instructions on the Internet on how to get them back:

As far as the disk file structure, we can certainly tell you lots
about that, though it would help if you would tell us specifically
what you want to know. This Wikipedia article might be helpful:
