Default New Documents on Desktop

Go to Office Button | Word Options | Save and change the path for the
default file location from the desktop to My Documents or wherever you want
them saved.

I have done something to cause my new documents to show up as individual
icons on my desktop. I don't want new documents to be saved with icons on
the desktop. It is Word 2007 with Vista Home Premium. How can I get rid
of the icons without losing the documents?
