• Excel file on the desktop disappeared

  Toshiba laptop about 2 weeks running Vista Business. New on Vista also.

  On the desktop, I have an Excel spreadsheet that I use as a time sheet that I update regularly. the last used about 2-3 days ago.

  Turn on the laptop today and he disappeared. I know that I'm deleting it.

  Vista is a desktop cleanup and delete this? If so is it put it somewhere?

  Tried to do a system restore, but I can see only an empty place, if I go back enough.

  Then the files are safe to leave on the desktop and if so why he would table disappeared?

  I don't know why your file disappeared. No, this to happen usually like magic in itself. System Restore does not restore data in files. Restore your Excel from your backup file and put it in your Documents folder instead of the desktop computer. Create a shortcut on the desktop. It's one of the reasons why having the files on the desktop is a bad idea. They can be deleted by mistake or sauteed in a backup too easily. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! I'm sorry to hear that you are having this problem with your Mac Pro. If questions of this judgment has just started recently after installing Pro Tools and a sound card, and Pro Tools uninstaller seems not to have any effect, you can try pulling the sound card and a new test, such as described in the following article:

• The upgrade from Lightroom 5.2 to 5.3, the desktop disappeared

  Tonight, I downloaded 5.3 Lightroom which was an upgrade to 5.2.

  After completing the installation, I noticed that I still had my Office 5.2 icon, but this time there was no icon of 5.3.  I launched the 5.2 icon only to get an error saying the program did not exist and he offered to remove the icon.  I tried the same thing in the start menu with the same result.  No. 5.3 icon to launch the application.  I did a repair on the installation and restarted the PC with no luck.  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Well, you can always manually create a shortcut to find the application in the installation folder...

• These "icons" on the top of my screen disappeared when I did an update. Means the part of the update? Or I can get back them on the desktop?

  I have Windows Vista, Dell computer and I ran an update today (October 25) and when I restarted my computer, on top of my desktop icons have disappeared, I can't find them in the control panel to restore. Are they supposed to be extinct? Or I can restore them somehow? I was able to get my Recycle Bin on the desktop, but the music/media, support, etc. icons have disappeared.

• The desktop icons have all disappeared, moved to the taskbar.

  My desktop icons have disappeared.  I tried to do a right click on the desktop, but nothing happens, no pop - up menu or anything like that.  The desktop items have been moved to the taskbar background, so I have access to all my icons, but I'd like to come back to the office.  I tried to drag items on the desktop from the taskbar on the desktop, but nothing happens.  It's as if the desktop is locked.  Time virus scan clean.  Windows updated last night, but I don't know if that is related.   Any ideas?  Thank you.

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  See you soon.

• the desktop icons disappear when I connect through a VPN

  On my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, SP1 system, automatic reorganization and snap to grid are unchecked.  And I don't have problems with icons on a restart.  I have problems when I access my system in my home using a VPN and the DRC.

  Sometimes when I connect, I find that most of my desktop shortcut icons have disappeared and the few remaining ones are reorganized.  It happens every time and I did not understand a common denominator as to when it occurs.

  I copied all my desktop shortcuts to a folder on a different drive if I can put them all after they disappear, but when I copy and paste them on the desktop, they do not return to the same places they were in front.  Instead, they are lined up on the grid starting at the top left and go down and creating more columns until all the icons were pasted.

  So, I have to manually, drag and drop them where I want them to be.

  Like others who interrogated him about the desktop icons, when I right click on the desktop I do not receive a "Properties" link as shown.  I'm getting , sort by view, refresh, paste & paste the shortcut, cancel deletion, New, screen resolution, Gadgets and Personalize.

  I also tried another solution that said"right-click an empty space on your desktop and Select the desktop icons.  When I right click, I get the menu described in the previous paragraph.  Then when I start to clicking on icons to highlight, the menu disappears.  If I pointed out all the icons first and then with the right button on the desktop, the menu and the highlighting disappears.

  How can lock the desktop icons?  I agree with the donor who asked a parameter for "don't mess with my desktop computer EVER.

  Hi Jane,

  Given that the problem seems to occur when you access your system from home using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) and RDC (Remote Desktop connection). I would like you to post your question in the TechNet forums for help.

• Pavilion p7: the desktop icons disappeared

  When I started my pc this morning I founf that all my desktop icons disappeared

  Hmm, that's strange. I wonder if you might have accidentally switched to Tablet mode, where the desktop icons would not display. See switch between Mode desktop and Tablet (Windows 10).

  If this does not work, try to install the Windows updates and reboot your computer. I would also like to run a virus scan. Good luck!

• What is the small black gauge at the top left of the desktop?

  What is the small black gauge at the top left of the desktop?  I just got my 10 Omni and put in place today. The screen (office) has this stupid black bar (gauge) on what reads 100. I can't move, close or to understand what it does. Can someone help?

  Thank you... sometimes we old guys are a little slower to learn new things

  I spotted your request when it was 1st posted, but I have not experienced the 'phenomenon' myself so I waited for someone who had to post a fix - might save you a few troubleshooting steps...

  If you have already found a solution, update your original post could help direct others to this solution in the future. On the other hand, we can proceed to try a few things to narrow down what is causing this burning "black beast" on the screen of your Tablet:

  Right of sending, no matter the cause - just shut down and then restart your tablet can correct the problem. If the bar persists after that, you can check via the Task Manager to identify a suspect probably under Startup items. Your description suggests a battery gadget or an application that uses the built-in microphone shows the sensitivity of the MIC's setting - possibly Skype or other software 'social media '.
