all my desktop icons were gone I have not all documents, photos etc frpm a user account
Original title:
User accounts
I have 3 user accounts on my welcome screen which is admin. normally, I click on my own account. When I made the other day all my desktop icons went I have all the documents, pictures, etc. I though I had lost them up to what I went to c/users/selected my user account and everything is there. I seems the account that I click the home screen is not a link to my account?
Please can someone help?
I tried to restore to an earlier date that did not work.
When you create a new user, the directory will not present until you connect for the first time this new user. The fast way so disconnect and connect under the newly created user. After that, the folder would be present.
The way alternative copy of the files on an external drive and copy then back also works, but there are also that you connect as long as this new user to do this.
The top of the default user folder account Security page is [heart] to this user and administrators only (that's why the lock symbol). You should be able to bypass this security, if you are signed in with an account that has administrator privileges. Otherwise, you will need to log on as the owner of this folder, right-click on the folder-> Security (tab) and change the security to allow access by other users.

Hello
I'd say a repair of Windows XP merely to ensure that any content viral/malicious installation has been removed completely. In addition, you can create a user account replacing a check if you are still having this problem. Most probably this account knows still some question. Preferred methods are to perform a repair installation or a new installation of Windows. I hope that this information is beneficial.

All locked or disabled to restart user accounts
I was faced with a problem with my user accounts getting locked out/disabled every time that I reboot my system. I can't start in safe mode, I can't run the system restore, I can't do anything but run a startup disk that will allow me to unlock locked accounts and remove the passwords so now that I'm stuck without the disc I'm totally locked out of my system.
I am not connect to any network or something like that so they aren't locking me. I think it's Windows or a virus, but I've scanned several times my virus from the system.I realize maybe there's not much I can do until I have retrieve the boot disk, but I want to solve this problem, so it is not keep happening to me.Hi Mchase34,
You will need to make arrangements for the drive of the Windows operating system. Once you have the startup disk, and then follow the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

Taskbar disappeared and all the desktop icons are gone
Ok... I think it's a virus... but I can't enter "search" to locate. When I connect my wallpaper rises on Windows and that's all. I start the Task Manager and type "explorer", but it says Explorer is not found. I did a virus scan and nothing came. Menu start has disappeared... How can I 'Search' a program when I don't have my Start menu or icons? And why 'explorer' is not found? Help!
Hello
It could be a virus, or it could be something interferes with the Explorer shell.
If you press ctrl + shift + ESC, open the Task Manager? If so, on the applications tab click "new process" and type explorer.exe and click ok. This starts the desktop computer?
If the Task Manager does not open, then you are probably infected (virus often block access to the Task Manager). Restart in safe mode by pressing F8 when the system starts at the start up, just after the initial POST, and before Windows starts to load. This should result in a boot menu where you can choose Safe mode. Run your scans antivirus from here.
