After the reboot, Vista blurs the desktop icons - why?

Whenever I reboot Vista desktop icons on the right side of my screen (usually after some kind of update) will be massaged on the left side of the screen in a piece of big - do not crush anything, but clumped everywhere where there is not already an icon.  My screen resolution is 1600 x 900 and virtually every icon of PX 1200 to 1600 px is moved...  Is this normal?  It's happened since I've owned the computer about 14 months ago.

Hi Hiballer,

It would be possible that the icon cache where stored windows icons is damaged.

This corruption can lead to garbled/fuzzy/false icons. To resolve this problem, rebuild the icon cache by deleting.

Method 1:

a. click on organize on the toolbar and choose folder and Search Options.

b. click on the view tab and check to select the files and folders hidden, and then click OK.

c. After this, navigate to the location, which by default is C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Iconcache.db and delete the iconcache.db file.

d. restart your computer.

Once the computer restarts, it will recreate a good icon-Cache file.

Method 2:

If you still experience the problem, try to perform a clean boot and check if the problem persists.

A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.

You can read the following article to put the computer in a clean boot:

How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

After you resolve the problem, see the section on boot link to how to restore your computer to a Normal startup mode.

Hope this information is useful.

  • The desktop icons move after reboot

    original title: the desktop icons

    I have Windows 7 and when I manually move some icons on the left side of the screen to the right of the screen... they stay there.  I entered the office properties and click on the appropriate buttons.  Everything's fine until I restart the computer.  The strange thing is that only a couple of icons that were positioned on the right side are now on the left side.  I and then pull them to the right and everything is OK until the next reboot and we start over again.  What I am doing wrong?

    Thank you

    Tom

    Hi tom sk,.

    Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum.

    Check if "Auto Arrange icons" is enabled.

    If so, uncheck it and move icons, restart the computer and check.

    Your Antivirus software could be parasitic. Try temporarily disable you security software and check.

    If the problem persists, install a third-party program in windows that govern funds layout and positions for your that you can restore it later.

  • The desktop icons to change the order after reboot

    Original title: the icons on the desktop in the Land of window 8

    Hello my friends. Before entering my question, I would like to thank all those who more graciously helped me with the many difficulties that I had with my old Dell XPS 8100 Studio, running Windows 7, Service Pack One, who went from the realms of the puffy clouds, halos, and * cherubs Flyin 'around pluckin' at the age of harps. Unfortunately he succumbed to Cyber Devils and digital demons that has infected. Even after the Pixel priest to perform an Electrosisim filled with the anointing of the Holy soldering, the pose of the figures on Ctrl-Alt-Delete, an attempt to restore to an earlier time, the computer was found dead of CPU. So at 2:35 on July-11-2013 with a tear to the eye and a hand shaking, I pulled the plug on my old Dell XPS Studio 8100 paper weight for 3 years and he passed quietly in the mist of the net and internet wholesale in the cloud. :)) So now I have a new ASUS computer and it runs Windows 8, and a few things are not as they were in Windows 7 like the arrangement of the icons on the desktop. Now, in Windows 7, I could resize, change the image and place the icons where I wanted to, and as long as I box unchecked her "snap to grid" in the settings under view they would remain locked in their assigned positions. Good, assuming that the parameters for the icons were the same as they were in Windows 7 in Windows 8, I went to the subject to carefully arrange my icons. When I had finished my task, I went in the view and the box unchecked that pesky 'snap to grid' and everything seemed fine until I had the need to restart the computer. After restart my office came on the screen and I couldn't believe my eyes, all of the icons that I had planned so carefully were in their original position they were before them, I changed? I went quickly into the display and don't you know that the "Snap to grid" box was checked. I tested this confusing situation several times, and any time the results were the same? Now, once more I seeks the advice and wisdom of you Wizards of Windows and Microsoft Magi digital defenders of the net in the hope that you might have a solution to my situation. Sincerely yours, Esq. Tiffany Amber Snow "Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope"

  • The desktop icons do not respond after the use of IE

    Hello

    Anyone got a solution for this? When the computer is turned on I can use the icons on the desktop, no problem. However, after I used Internet Explorer from the desktop icons don't respond well the pograms can be opened from the start menu. As the recent problem I tried uninstalling some updates recently installed, without solving the problem. Using Windows Vista and IE9

    After that I used Internet Explorer from the desktop icons do not respond

    Does that mean exactly?   For example, what do you see?   For the best answer to this question, you could use ProcMon and know what modules are involved when you do what these are.   ;  )

    However, without using ProcMon you can check with the Manager task or resource or ProcExp monitor if there is always a hidden background iexplore.exe processes running or anything related to IE which started as a result of your using IE.   If so then try to kill these processes.   Etc.

    Related to this, you could also consider what you used IE before your symptoms occurred.   This means that would understand that make your "desktop icons" and change it to something more neutral.   For example, if you had clicked on was a shortcut Internet (aka the .url file) that requires a network connection, change for people who only runs locally, such as about: blank.   So if you could close the window that has opened and always use the shortcut you would have refined your description of symptom to involve the network connections.

    Related to that, would be your security package, for example, some are trying to act as a hidden proxy to "analyze" the HTTP traffic.   Then the problem would not be IE but the hidden proxy.  Etc.

    You can't wait for a "fix" until you have a fully understood symptom.   More details and diagnosis is necessary IMO.

  • The desktop icons and taskbar disappear when windows has finished starting - any of the usual things help

    I have a Windows XP Home Edition with a breath main card computer.  Replaced the Board, PS and other items.  Then re-activated windows and everything was fine.  Until the last moment, I rebooted after activating it.  I have the problem that I have seen posted in a bit.  When Windows has finished initializing all the desktop icons and task bar etc. disappear.  Nothing works.

    I can bring up the Task Manager and manually run programs, etc.

    Believe me when I say I spent reviewing EACH reference to this problem... Yes 5 days and counting... Tried them all.

    I also tried a repair of windows in place which ends without any problem (twice)... but still no icons or taskbar.  I also ran several controls of virus, including one for the virus, which is usually the cause of this problem.  (fsnimda3.exe), I tried all the ideas in another thread (page 9) and many other institutions.  Before I did the reconstruction of the material I've cloned the original hard drive and have used the disc cloned juggling his original for the back.  Even tried to reinstall the old disk and do a comparison of sector by sector, in the case where my cloning process missed something.  In the 30 years I've been in the computer business I have never had a re - format a hard drive to solve a problem.  BUT I think it will break my record.
