All the icons are covered by the icon of the file.

I've looked everywhere and can't find answers.  All my desktop icons have the icon of file on top of them. I tried to find the Iconfilecache and delete it and then restart.  It works for a brief second and then they are back. I even unchecked the box "Backup status overlays" in my Norton 360... restart later.  I am running Windows 7.  Help! They are driving me crazy and my wife hates!  Can anyone help?

Suggestions:

1 rebuild the icon cache
http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/49819-icon-cache-rebuild.html
Note: use an easier Option.

2. (if you can), do a system restore. Choose the date where you did not have this problem as your restore point.

  • I deleted all THE files of rendering but have still 1.5 TB of unidentifiable used disk space. I don't have FCPX libraries on my 3 TB drive. Total area of libraries: 650 GB still Get Info says I use 2 100 GB! Any ideas? Thank you.

    I have deleted all THE files in my libraries FCPX rendering but have still 1.5 TB of unidentifiable used disk space. I don't have FCPX libraries on my 3 TB external drive. The total size of my libraries is 650 GB (when I add up the individual), but when I click on read the information for the reader, it says that I use 2 100 GB! It does not show that everything is on the disk. I went in each library individually in FCPX and deleted all THE files of rendering.  Reducing the total size of several concerts, but there are still almost 1 500 GB difference.

    I tried to copy all libraries on another drive and they occupy only 650 GB (with no unidentifiable used disk space). I'm a bit confused.  Someone at - it ideas?  I would like to release 1.5 TB that starting to use the new hard disk with only 650 GB and reformat the drive, but if there is some kind of hidden, important files on the original drive as FCPX needs to work properly I won't ruin the hundreds of hours I spent on editing. I hope that all makes sense. Thank you in advance.

  • When I download compressed files, they go to the local > temp location, when I extracted all the files, they are sent to the My Documents folder. Can I go to the local > temp location and delete the zip file?

    When I download compressed files, they go to the local level > temp location, when I extracted all the files, they are sent to the My Documents folder. Can I go to local > temp location and delete the zip file? Knowing that I still have the data in the My Documents folder.

    Once they are checked, of course. If you want to keep a backup, you can move the zip file in your documents folder.

    In fact, you can delete everything in the temporary folder that is not currently in use. Best time to do this removal is immediately after the start, before launching other applications.

  • In all projects, all the files are locked (cannot change, delete, rename or move), file system is given

    Hi all,.

    Today, I started my JDeveloper and was rather surprised that I can't edit any file in any project that I opened. All files have a small lock in the upper left corner.

    screenshot-area-2015-06-12-085052.pngHere is a screenshot of the indication.

    I use git as my vcs. Git does not support file locks, but a svn. Maybe something gets mixed upward...

    Anyway that it blocks all the files in the projects that do not use the vcs.

    What is the easy way with DW to download files of a Web site for later use.  I'll copy and save all these files, so I don't have to do this again.

    1. define your site in DW.  DO NOT EVER USE DW WITHOUT FIRST DEFINING a SITE (at least the local part of the site).  Make sure that you are entering the local information (really just where is the local root folder of the site and the name of the site) and distance information (the location of the remote site and FTP connection information).

    2. after the site is defined, you can now CONNECT to the remote site by clicking on the icon to connect to the files Panel.

    3. Select the name of the folder in the foreground on the REMOTE side of the list of files and RECOVER the files by clicking on the arrow in the files Panel toolbar.

    It is simple and easy.  You have now all that has been at the remote site nicely nestled in your folder local root.

  • Installation of photoshop elements Associates/changed all the files on the computer for photoshop elements files

    I bought Photoshop Elements for my mother while hospitality during Thanksgiving.

I don't know that it is an operating system problem. Can someone tell me why this is happening and give me a cure? It uses Windows 7. It is a 64-bit computer, if it's important.

  • I have about 14 000 songs in my library, about 4 copies of each of them. Try to remove duplicates, but can only do one at a time. I spent many hours, check all the files I want to delete only to find out that I can't delete them both?

    I have about 14 000 songs in my iTunes library, but really there are only about a quarter as much because there are so many duplicates. I don't know how they got there in the first place, and try to remove them is infuriating! I have already spent several hours going by checking all the files I want to remove (thinking that I would delete then all files at once) - only to find out that I still have to delete them one at a time. There must be a better way! Help, please.

    If you don't know that you want to delete all checked the songs in your library:

    • Create a new smart playlist with the following rules:

      This will show then checked all the songs in your library.
    • Select all the items in this playlist (Ctrl-A)
    • Hold the SHIFT key and press DELETE - follow the prompts to remove songs from your library and (if necessary) your PC media files

    In case of problem, you must back up your library before you do just in case the results are not what you expect - see tips to the user of turingtest2 on your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy to backup library for a suitable and recommended method.

    There is no 'simple' way to reliably remove duplicates from a library, but see the intelligence in this threadon the use of a scripted for removal of duplicates (for example).

    Long-term, try and avoid adding anything in your iTunes library that already exists in it - that's how arise the duplicates (unlike an opinion apparently dispersed, iTunes not of is duplicate anything in normal operation).  I've seen several comments suggesting here a few users to correctly copy their library from an old computer to a new one and then add the content of its media files - guaranteed way to finish with a copy of database entries or media files.

    What version of Windows you want to transfer is irrelevant. What
    you need to do is just transfer to another computer.

    There are several approaches to do this. What is the best for you
    based primarily on the amount of data you transfer. Here are a few
    choice:

    1. transfer on diskettes.
    2. transfer to CDR or DVD.
    3. by email from the old machine, and read e-mail on the new
    one.
    4. the two computers on the network and simply copy the files on the
    network.
    5. temporarily (or permanently) install the old computer's hard
    drive in the new computer and just copy the top.

  • How to print all the files in a folder without having to open each one?

    Hello

    Can someone tell me how to print all the files in a folder? I often need to print multiple files in a folder and it would allow me to save a lot of time!

    Thank you!

    I've done some testing, and it seems that Windows 7 allows print several files when they are all the same type of file.  So, for example, you can select and print 15 Word documents, but not a Word document and a single PDF document.

    To work around this limitation, you can print each file type separately.  For example, to print PDF files in a folder:

    1. Type *. PDF in the search for top-right box.
    2. For 1-15 files, press on CTRL + A to select all the.
    3. For 16 or more files, select 15 of them (click on the first, SHIFT + click the last).
    4. Click any file, and then click print .
    5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as needed.

  • What burning CDs in Windows Media music system prepares all the files listed.

    What burning CDs in Windows Media music system prepares all the files listed.  When the system starts writing the files on the disc it gets through about 4 songs and then goes to finalize the disc and ejects the disc.  The disk does not appear to have anything on it.  Can I do anything locally to solve the problem?

    My system is XP.

    I burned the disc a lot in the past

    There has been no major changes to the system

    The files I am to burn to the disc are previously ripped files on the disk hard, some of them were burned on another drive before.

    I tried to slow down the burn speed, but that did not work.

    Hello

    • You receive an error message when burning CDs?
    • What were the changes made before the issue started?
    To resolve this problem, do one or more of the following and then try again:

    a. Verify that the CD burner is properly connected.

    b. clean the disc and verify that it is not damaged.

    c. try a different brand of blank discs.

    d. If another program is currently burning files on the CD, wait until the burning process is completed.

    e. Quit other programs that may be using the CD burner.

    f. restart Windows Media Player.

    g. restart your computer.

    h. use the Windows error-checking tool to find system errors of files with bad sectors on your hard drive. For more information about the error-checking tool, see Windows Help and Support.

    I never had an aaount usser put on the pc and had a large number of backup files.  Then I set up a new user account and it auto saet as administrator, but all the files are not there.  There is an another user account on the pc and it is called comments but the files aren't there either.  Is there a way to recover the missing data?

    Hi ColleenBrown-Hickey,
     
    Setting up a new user account does not remove the files. Search if the file is present on the computer by using Windows Search.
