  You can create a new profile on the computer and if the desktop icons stay on their position. If this is not the case, the other profile is corrupt. To create a new user profile, you can see the article mentioned below for the procedure.

• All my desktop icons open under 1 program. How to return to the original way can be opened as part of their own program?

  Long story short, all my desktop icons and pretty much everything else opens under the same program.

  I deleted the program that went all other programs and now all the desktop icons are left white and they don't know where to go.

  I saw several responses to this before, but none of them were really clear. How can I get my programs to open to their original programs?

  Could someone please provide a detailed response, I'm pretty new to this. Thank you.

  Hello

  It's like as if all your slots target for your shortcut got a little messed up. Here is a list of the simple troubleshooting steps that I suggest.

  • When this problem started to happen
  • Have you made a change to your system, such as installing the software before that happens?
  • Have you tried to delete the shortcut icons and create new ones on the oldest?
  • Have you tried to change the target location manually? -To do so, right click on any shortcut icon of the present Office on your computer, locate your target and see if it takes you directly to your location of program if not, go to your local disk, program files and scroll to the program that you want as a shortcut on your desktop. Then go on the address tab and click once. Copy and paste the address into the location your shortcut properties target.

  Hope this helps,

  Kind regards

• Whenever I have turn off my monitor, and then turn it back on, all my desktop icons are completely reorganized.

  This issue just started.  Whenever I have turn off my monitor and then turn it back on, all my desktop icons are completely reorganized.  This happens when my system goes into power saving mode, or whenever I have turn off the monitor.  Even if I turn it back on just 5 seconds later, all of my icons are not where they were previously.  Help!

  Suggestions:

  1 a simple way:
  . Right click on desktop > view > uncheck Auto arrange > check snap to grid.

  2. in a more elaborate way and actually a better way. I use this method I have over 150 shortcuts etc on my desk. I can't afford to have shortcuts/icons, rearranging themselves. I won't be able to find anything, if they do.
  Here is the tutorial:
  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/save-and-restore-desktop-icon-layout-in-Windows-Vista/

  Note: The method is not perfect, you can, after a while, have one or 2 icons on the spot. But it's easy to fix.

• 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.

• MS word offers the option of Microsoft Word 2010 (2) in the list of the start menu

  Original title: program registration under Start button

  Today, when I was looking for a program that is displayed when I select the Start button, I noticed that the number 2 see the next to registration for Microsoft Word 2010.  It looks now like this: Microsoft Word 2010 (2)

  I don't think it was like that the other day when I finally used Word.  Any ideas on why it would start that looks like this?  I made no changes to my computer.

  I use Microsoft 7 Home Premium.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey Debba,.

  -You have two entries in the start menu for Microsoft Word? One is Microsoft Windows Word 2010 (2) and the other is Microsoft Word 2010 Microsoft Office on the start menu?

  -Is this Microsoft Word 2010 (2) successfully opened?

  -This happens to you with other programs in the list?

  If there are two icons for Microsoft Word 2010 on the Start menu, remove the icon of Windows of Microsoft Word 2010 (2).

  All you have to do is click on Microsoft Word 2010 (2) and click on remove from this list.

  This seems to be only a Microsoft Word 2010 shortcut added to the list of the start menu.

  Hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let us know.
