After showing hidden files my desktop no longer exists, no icons, Finder won't come to front when I click on the desktop even after reboot.

2 volumes mounted when I showed hidden files, home and net.

Is there any way to fix this?

All TinkerTool does is hack plists right?

Trash com.apple.finder.plist and that should probably do it.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!
