• Windows 7 icons on the desktop and start changed to dat file

  Original title: Windows 7 icons on the desktop and Start Menu problems

  I am running Windows 7 Pro with service pack 1 and all the icons on the desktop Start Menu has changed into something that resembles a dat file and when you click on it, they are trying to run a download would be and asks where I want to save them. Symantec Endpoint, Microsoft Security Essentials, or AVG will find viruses or problems with the computer. I spoke with the technology of Windows and he sent me the link to this page.
  I've never seen anything like this.

  Hello

  It can be disappointing when all the icons on the desktop and Menu start modified in a dat file. I understand the inconvenience.

  You can try to rebuild the icon cache and check if it works properly.

  Click Start, click Control Panel, and write in the box search folders options.
  b. now, click on Folder Options to open and select folders and hidden files (dot).
  c. open a Windows Explorer window.
  d. go to C:\Users\(User Name) \AppData\Local
  e. right click on IconCache.db and click on delete.
  f. click Yes to confirm the deletion.
  NOTE: This deletes the file to the trash. It is safe to empty the trash when you are done.
  g. close the window.
  h. emptying the trash.
  i. restart the computer.
  j. When you come back, you will notice the size of the file IconCache.db is reduced, and the update is now the current date.
  NOTE: If for some reason, IconCache.db isn't there or the size has not changed, then you can just restart the computer again. You may need to restart a few times in some cases.
  k. icon cache will be rebuilt.

  Hope it solves the problem. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  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.

  Hello

  I work in a school and one of the students has done something to change the appearance of the display / change icons sizes. I tried zooming and leave the zoom feature, I checked that the resolution is correct and I tried pressing the windows +/-key to nothing does not. I also tried pressing ctrl and scroll wheel, yet once this is not enough.

  Thanks in advance.
