• Cannot delete the desktop shortcuts

  I recently added Dell Dock. Shortcuts added were on the quay and on the desktop. When I tried to delete the desktop shortcuts, I received the following message:

  "Cannot find this article.
  It is no longer in the Office of C:\Users\Public\Public. Check the location of the item and try again. »

  I then deleted Dell Dock and now am stuck with 5 shortcuts on my desktop that are not going anywhere, not open to anything, and I can't remove.

  Someone please help!

  Hey Chris,

  Thank you for visiting the Windows Xp forum

  I was wondering if you run a retail or OEM of Windows version. If you are using an OEM version of windows, you will need to use the recovery options you have from the manufacturer of your computer. If you run a commercial version, feel free to follow the article in the knowledge base you have found.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307545 how to recover a corrupted registry

  I was also wondering if you have another computer to work? If so and you feel comfortable or know someone who can remove the hard drive from the computer and connect it to another computer. You can view the disk hard kit to join. Once the hard drive is connected, you can go in my computer and copy all the files to another hard disk.

• How to remove the desktop icon after you have uninstalled program.

  I uninstalled a program and then tried to put the icon on the desktop to the trash.  I get an error message that says that the program cannot be found and try again.  How can I get rid of the icon?

  Hello

  Reboot and see if the icon is still there. If so, try the following:

  Go to control panel/Folder Options, view tab, set the options so that you can see the hidden files and folders and show protected operating system files. You should now be able to see a desktop desktop.ini file. Delete and restart. See if that helps.

  I suggest you to download Microsoft Safety Scanner, scan your computer for viruses and malware then check how it works.

  You can download Microsoft Safety Scanner from the link "scan to Microsoft Security.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

• Satellite Pro S300 - cannot extend the desktop to an external monitor

  Hello
  I have a Satellite Pro S300 and it won't extend the desktop to an external monitor / projector, but it will clone the desktop?

  so far I have tried:
  2 instructors and 1 projector all do the same thing, will clone but not extend.
  Reinstall the latest drivers to display on the Toshiba site.
  Reinstall the latest drivers of change on the Toshiba site.

  But nothing worked, I even checked my S300 colleagues to make sure that I use the same parameters and their (of 2 other s300) extend and clone office.

  Has anyone seen this before and how solve you the problem?

  Paul

  Did you first remove the old driver before you install the new driver? If this is not the case, try to reinstall the driver again. Therefore, to remove the old driver, restart the computer, use CCleaner to clean the registry and install the new version you can find on the Toshiba site.

  More I would try updating the BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site too.

  I hope it works for you.
