• Cannot change the font color on the desktop icons

  I am running windows vista. I can't change the font as in windows xp. No matter if the background is dark or the police is always black... Help!

  Hello

  Thanks for posting the question in Microsoft Answers.

  I apologise for the inconvenience.

  Unfortunately, you cannot change the font color of desktop.

  Because desktop wallpaper images have different colors, it is easy for the colors of unreadable fonts if they are on top of the same color in a background image to display. For example, a black font on top a dark part of the background image or a white font on a white part of a background image.

  The desktop icon fonts are dynamic and show white on dark background and change in white with a shadow effect black on a light background.

  In previous versions of Windows, it did not matter what color you chose to fund policies, some would still make invisible because of the background color of a desktop wallpaper. The user was constantly moving icons around the desktop computer to another colorful area where the police could be read. This was the source of a large number of complaints from users asking for a policy that was still visible, regardless of the color that was behind the police.

  However, you can change the theme and see if that helps:

• Desktop icons have all disappeared completely and cannot add new ones to the desktop display.

  I use Windows Vista Business Service Pack 1 on a Toshiba individual 5 months old Pro.
  Everything works well except all my desktop icons disappeared last week for example Recycle Bin, Internet Explorer, etc.
  I have activated since the "Desktop >" section of the taskbar and can now access all the icons in a vertical list.
  If I try to add a new icon to real desktop screen does not appear, but it does not produce a copy that can be chosen amongst the "Desktop >" list on the taskbar.
  How can I display the icons on the new real desktop?

  Right-click on the desktop, click on the "View" menu

  In the submenu at the bottom, there is an entry named "show desktop icons".
  Click here, if it is not already.

  

  Return your icons?

  Please let us know how it goes.

  Hello, I can not use my desktop Ikons, why?

  You must develop. Make the desktop icons just do not respond when you click on them, or they lead to bad programs?

• 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.
