[Solution] Desktop Is "Locked" in Windows 7

Desktop Is "Locked" in Windows 7

Hello, I am using Windows 7 (32 bit).
Something weird happened today: when I have multiple windows open at once, if one is not maximized and the desktop is partly-visible, I can't "touch" the desktop icons as they are locked.
They only work after I hit the Windows key + D to show the desktop.
Even if all windows are minimized, desktop icons are disabled until I actually do "Show Desktop".
When I try to click on one of the icons or even just an empty space on the desktop, I get this weird sound.

How do I restore it to the normal function?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
