All the missing desktop icons

Need help.  All my icons are gone except the Recycle Bin.  When I try to open the C: drive it shows nothing.  No program in the menu drop down either.  Before this past that I have tried to open itunes icon and didn't work ' link w.  He asked me what program to use to get there.  Most of my programs was in the selection window.  I chose itunes and then a few minutes later returned to the computer for an empty office.  What should I do?  I think that the data must be present because when I looked to free space on the disk hard 100 GB has been used.  I don't remember what it should have been.

You should run a virus scan and check if the files are hidden

  • Cannot use, "save under" to save the information in the missing desktop icon

    Whenever I try to use the, "Save as" command in Word 2007 or the appearance of Windows 7 theme page to save on the Desktop icon on the left side of the page, it is impossible, because the Desktop icon disappeared completely.

    This means I have to record information in example Library\Documents, why?

    Anyone solve the problem?

    How to reset the Windows path, which should allow me, "save under" information and possibly other paths to the desktop (icon)?

    The desktop icon is normally located in the "Favorites" group at the top of the left pane. Click on the small arrow next to Favorites to show the links it contains.

    If she's really gone then you can put it to go back easily.  Open Windows Explorer, find your desktop folder, select it, drag it to the favorite icon to the top of the left pane, drop it on the Favorites.  Who put it there.  [He puts a shortcut on the desktop in the favorite group]

    Note that Favorites is extremely poorly named.  It has nothing to do with favorites, you are probably familiar with Internet Explore.  It's actually a set of shortcuts in whatever you chose to put files and its list is displayed in C:\Users\yourusername\Links if you take a look here.

  • Satellite A30-921 PSA33E - no sound and the missing "speaker" icon

    Some time ago, I lost the sound and also the missing "speaker" icon.
    But the sounds in the control panel and all its grayed out. Restarted the system and everything has been restored.

    Once again lost both and rebooted but is more than this noise of restoration. Icon was back at the helm of the tasks, but when you click on it, all greyed out.

    Uninstalled the audio driver and used the disk utility to try to restore the sound, but does not work: visited the download from Toshiba site and I tried the Realtek driver, no luck. Checked with my Bios Update and I have the latest version.

    What is going on???

    If anyone can help...

    Congratulations to all.

    Hello

    I think that you must first remove the old sound driver.
    Check if there is an entry in Control Panel-> Add & Remove programs.

    In addition, you should go to the Device Manager and should remove the sound card in the list of devices.
    Just mark the sound card and remove it.
    Reboot the laptop.

    After that restart of the operating system (Win XP) should start looking for a new device and should ask the audio driver.
    This is the time to point the driver package, and files that you downloaded from the Toshiba European page.

    Check to see if that would help!

  • Lack of the "Change desktop icons" option in my control panel

    Im trying to restore the icons of 'Trash' and 'My computer' original on my desk.

    Ive played a lot with these before settings on other computers, all of which is running Windows XP or earlier. I can't find the appropriate options in the Control Panel on my vista computer. Many forums indicate the "Change desktop icons" option should be "Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization", but the link does not exist in my control panel.

    Is there a way I can make this option appear?

    Hello

    In the control/customization panel (or right-click on the desktop and choosing Properties), the ability to change the desktop icons under tasks in the left column, will not be like a link in the Center. You declare that this line does not exist? Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org

  • How to make a list of all the missing files in a catalog in LR2?

    Is there an easy way to get a list of all the missing files for thumbnails in Lr2?

    You can click with the right button on a folder and choose synchronize - it has a button to display the missing files.

  • System restored automatically after the installation of updates & a few missing desktop icons.

    Original title: same set of updates on both computers due to different problems, one problem being a system restore.

    I have two Windows 7 computers in my house.  They all have two problems after installing updates a month ago.  The problem for 'Computer 1' is a bigger problem than the problem of the "Computer 2".  2 computer problem not really seems to be a problem now, but I'll give you the information for comparison purposes. Sorry for the length of this post - I am trying to be thorough.

    1 COMPUTER DETAILS:

    News of the computer: Dell Studio 1745 laptop computer running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, six months at the time of the problem, now age of seven months. It came with Norton pre-installed, never used and uninstalled.  Trend Micro Internet Security installed at the beginning of the use of the computer.  Analyses Micro trend came clean.

    Background: set up with a single account (Administrator, of course) and after a few days of putting in place computer, said ale user account for everyday use.  Computer is configured to warn me before downloading/installation of updates of Windows, with permission for each type of account to install Windows updates.

    While in the standard account, I welcomed these download/install updates and was prompted to restart the computer.  I was done with the computer, so I just closed instead of restart.  According to "Your update history Review", it's updates and they were all successful:

    Update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB980846)
    Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB982670)
    Update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB982519)
    Update Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 for x 64 systems (KB982526)
    Cumulative update for Media Center for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB981078)

    After you turn on computer back, everything seemed normal.  I opened Firefox and I got a notice that Firefox has an update is available, a standard user cannot.  Unlike some programs, there is no popup to sign as an administrator, so I went to start > switch user and signed as an administrator.  (There was no update of Firefox at this point - just a switch single user.) That's where the problem appeared: instead of normally load the admin Office, I had to wait while Windows configured my desk (it's new)... wait... wait... wait... wait... BAM!  Your computer has been successfully restored * insert date here * (I don't remember what it was - January of this year, perhaps - because I was so incredulous that it happened and I continued to watch the game "successfully restored").  I do not have the computer to eat, and it don't has not asked me if I wanted to restore it.  He just did, just on its own initiative, when I went on the admin account.  A bunch of shortcut icons are missing from the Office of the admin acct and the ACCT. standard, and wallpaper to the admin account has been changed.  I am not absolutely sure if nothing else was touched.

    I have searched online to try to understand why it happened, and I remember well from my only find, is that if I went to the restoration of the system, there will be an option to cancel it, but I don't see such an option. So I told the computer to eat on a few days to a week before that updates.  It doesn't seem to help.  Shortcut icons are still missing.  Looked at the update history and it shows the five latest updates as being installed successfully, but Windows Update tells me that I need to these five updates AND this time, the little check marks are only already there on four of the five updates listed.  (The first time, the little checkmarks were already there for all five.)  This is the update that is NOT now pre-checked:

    Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB982670)

    Do not reinstall the five updates.  I don't know if I should jump install them again, or if I should install only the
    now, four are already "pre-checked."  I'm very hesitant to install KB982670, because this update seems to be the likely cause of the problem given the fact that it is already pré-coché in the Windows and the following information updates for computer 2.

    Since I installed the latest updates for 1 computer with no apparent problems:

    X 64-July Windows malicious software removal tool (KB890830) 2010
    Update security for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB2032276)

    NEWS ON COMPUTER 2:

    The computer news: Systemax desktop running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, a month at the time of the problem, now age of two months.  It has not come with any pre-installed antivirus.  Trend Micro Internet Security installed at the beginning of the use of the computer.  Analyses Micro trend came clean.

    Reminder: Set up immediately with an admin account and a standard account for everyday use.  Computer has been set to automatically download and install updates for Windows, but is about to inform me first.

    At the time of the problem above with the laptop, desktop computer has been enabled.  As all loading,.
    an error message came that there was some kind of issue with the .NET framework.  At another person asked if he knew what was up with that, and it didn't.  Did not note the specific message, thinking he would tell me again if there was a real problem.  I thought it could have been some kind of Windows hiccups when starting the computer, not even knowing about update problems.  I have yet to see this message.  After the number of laptop (computer 1), I took a peek at the desktop computer (computer 2) to check that Windows Update and I saw that an update is available, which is the referenced above same update that the notebook had already the check mark in its box (KB982670), which gives me the choice to check the little to install it.  Very curious, since, as already mentioned, the computer has been configured to automatically download and install Windows updates.  Looked at the update history, and it has already downloaded and installed the other four updates that the laptop has been.  Changed the automatic Windows Update setting to warn me before you download and install updates.  I have not installed the missing update.  Said the only other person in the House who would probably bother install updates to not install it.

    A month later, 2 computer has a notification from Windows update that 21 or 22 updates are available (as a result, by clicking on the icon of the trial of Microsoft Office).  The update not installed a month ago is no longer on the list, and update history shows as having been installed a few days before, apparently because someone else in the House must have thought it looked like a good idea.  I installed all the 'important' updates and have not seen any more problems with computer 2.

    BACK TO THE COMPUTER 1:

    Yes, is there anyone with ideas on how to get 1 computer back to its state before the 5 updates listed above, and what to do about to reinstall some or all of them, I hope, without more problems, for example a random food system does not happen?  I have a feeling I will say that the random system restoration do not occur, but he did.

    Thanks for any help.

    No, I don't use the Norton removal tool.

    IN RE COMPUTER 1 ONLY:

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  • missing desktop icons and reappear at the start?

    I have a desktop PC with i7 and 16 GB. It runs on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Whenever I start my PC, all the desktop icons appear normally and quickly at the beginning. Then at the end of the initialization, all the desktop icons would change the folder symbols of gray before returning to their normal color symbols, one or both. The PC works fine otherwise. So, what's up with that?

    When google, many seem to have a similar problem, but none offer a REAL solution. Care to help? Please provide only the answers that have been soundproofed/accepted as a solution to the problem.

    It is regrettable that the steps in my previous post did not help to solve the problem. This problem could occur due to the corruption of the file system or damaged user account.
