  Original title: icons on the desktop

  I'm not 100% sure but I think that you are having a bad "file extension association. This is where the default program to open a file is incorrect. In the case of your office, these are all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) and the. LNK Association was by mistake coupled with Photo Viewer.

  I've seen this happen when opening a program via a shortcut (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After you have selected the photo viewer (or another program) via the Select a program from a list of programs installedand check always use the selected program to open this type of file (circled in red below), the document or program referenced by the shortcut of origin opens in the Photo Viewer as it should.

  The problem is that now all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) on the desktop or in the Explorer will want to be opened by the photo viewer and often use the icon Photo Viewer to display the shortcut no matter what shortcut was originally intentioned to open. This is known as a file association and the default icon. The same condition can occur if you have performed these actions 'Open with' on one. JPG or even a. EXE, but the. LNK explanation is much more likely for the items on the desktop.

  The good news is that a small free utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is also a registry hack to achieve, but I recommend the utility unASSOC for its ease of use.

  You can get a copy of my OneDrive here. I used to send people elsewhere to download a copy, but this page is more in addition to confusion with misleading ads to download this and this computer of powders of snake oil "fixed".

  

  Just download, then use the utility to unassociate the. LNK files for the user or globally delete the file type and let windows rebuild a new default.

• Remove all icons from the desktop. How can I restore them?

  somehow, I erased all my desktop icons.  How can I restore them?

  somehow, I erased all my desktop icons.  How can I restore them?

  You can restore them by right-clicking somewhere on your desktop, not taskbar... on your background screen... then go to customize and then click on "Change Desktop Icons" on the left bar then check the box for icons that you want to appear on your desktop, then click on apply, then ok...

  Then they should appear... If they haven't then click right on your desktop again then go to view, then make sure that "show desktop icons" are checked.

  The other missing shortcuts, you will need to create manually... If you need help then let me know...

• Icon in the taskbar for Word has changed to the icon of the program unknown

  First of all, everything works fine, but it is really annoying that the icon in my taskbar for Word 07 disappeared and is represented by the generic icon of the unknown program.  In my documents files, the icon shows correctly, but in my program (from the start menu) Menu and in my taskbar, it shows the icon of the unknown program.

  I have a corporate anti-virus and have scanned for spyware / malware, which turned negative.

  Help, please!

• 23 Pallvion all-in-one: the Logo screen then turns off 10 Windows

  I have upgraded to Windows 10 awhile ogo and so far my computer was working fine. Then, I came across a virus if sort so I decided to simply reset my computer. When I tried to reset it, it would be stuck on 1%. So, I then turned my computer off and when I turned it on the logo appeared for about 15 seconds and then turns off. I almost tried everything. I t doesn't let me not reset again without a disc I don't have. And it says there is an error when I try to refresh the pc. I'm stuck and need help fast!

  I didn't say it was the only way, but the most logical.  There are other choices.  You can use the set of diskettes of recovery that you made when the computer was new.  You can use a borrowed from Windows 8 or 8.1 Windows installation disk, but it would be necessary to match the windows that came from HP that was installed.  You could buy or borrow a disc 10 Windows installation to run.  On this day and the social environment, it is rare that you do not find a friend to do the free Windows 10 disc for you, however.

  If these choices do not meet your approval, then I guess there is a problem.

  Hello

  All my desktop icons and programs have been changed to eg - avira has changed in microsoft word icon

  Hello

  1. what operating system is installed on your computer?

  2 have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

  Method 1:

  I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
  Note: All data that are infected must be cleaned only by deleting all of the data, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Method 2:

• Display all icons on the desktop as a symbol of Internet Explorer icon

  Office documents/programs (Skype, browser choice) are all now showing white pages with simbol Explorer? Can directly open them, all that happens is a window opens "View downloads-Windows Internet Explorer" to open the program I have to right click and open the new tab to access the program. Can anyone help?

  It seems that your system may have been infected by malware; I had malware on my computer which has caused similar behavior, it will screw up the file associations and ensure that Windows does not know which application is related to the type of file or shortcut.

  You can try to start in Safe Mode and run a cleaning tool malicious software such as Microsoft Security Essentials or Malwarebytes to find and remove malware or other software bad things that could have caused this.

• Task now shows only icons on the bar, no words, in Vista Home Premium 64-bit

  When I used to run a program it show up under the taskbar, between the quicklaunch & the system tray. It would be about a 1.5 inch rectangle which would include information on the program, or even what was the program. It would give status percentage of disks engraved, scroll the titles of the songs of songs that played in winamp, display the title Web pages, so I could see that the internet explore or firefox icon I had to click on. now I just get TINY little icons, barely larger than their counterparts of task of quicklaunch bar. They are much more difficult to click quickly or even know if they are right, it is so boring

  I went through all the taskbar properties and options, windows areo off and I don't know what to do or even how to look for answers on this issue.
