• Cannot delete the desktop icon: Network Magic?

  Running Windows 7 64-bit HP.  Network Magic is installed as a 30 day trial when I've upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 (why I've never waited so long?). I uninstalled by getting in pure Networks/Setup...etc; It's, I think I've done the proper uninstall. However, I can't get rid of his Network Magic Folders icon on my desktop. I can't even move the icon on the desktop. Right click gives: open and create a shortcut.  Selecting open doesn't do nothing, shortened by selecting creates a shortcut on the desktop that can be deleted. Suggestions?

  EDIT: Here's an answer essentially the same question (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7desktop/thread/3a90c945-1072-4bb7-9afc-ec8df2cee03b).  However, I'm not good in the registry to work, I can't go wrong with it as I don't know if the answer is there.

  That did the trick:

  Delete this key...

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\ {C55C499D-3518-44a1-998E-796AC5FC989D}]

• hdiutil detach is not delete the desktop icon

  I write an installation script.  With the help of hdiutil, I am able to mount the DMG, copy the stop bits and then, supposedly, detach the drive.  Detachment seems to be working (the dough is capture of the output log file):

  30/08/16 21:18:30 UPDATE APPLY: hdiutil detach succeeded

  30/08/16 21:18:30 UPDATE if APPLIES: "disk3" not mounted.

  "disk3" ejected.

  However, the installation icon is always on the desktop.

  Is there a way to get hditutil to remove the icon that it put?

  Thank you

• Cannot delete the desktop icon! Driving me crazy

  I currently have a Norton Security Scan icon on my sidebar icon list.  I uninstalled the program, I don't know how she even had it installed since I have McAfee and Windows Defender, but the stupid icon won't go away.  I have tried right clicking 'delete', but it says that it cannot find the file, so it will not remove the icon. Help!

  The easiest way is to reinstall the program > removes the icon > uninstall the program again.

  But you can not reinstall norton, as you now McAfee installed as your AV.

  It's updated operating system Vista, upgraded installation and activate Forum.

• The deleted Remote Desktop connection icon and want to know how to add it back

  Hello

  
  
  I have Windows XP Home Edition and a VPS service for Forex trading.  I 'accidentally' deleted my DESKTOP CONNECTION link remotely located in START / all PROGRAMS / ACCESSORIES / COMMUNICATIONS and I can't understand how he put on my desk, so I can connect to my VPS.  I'll have to type MSTSC. EXE in the box to RUN whenever I want to check my VPS and Forex, results instead of having an icon on my desktop to use.

  
  

  I tried to download SP3 again, hoping he would add the DESKTOP CONNECTION remote to its previous location in the menu START / all PROGRAMS / ACCESSORIES / COMMUNICATIONS.  Then I was hoping she was send to office option or create a shortcut?  But my computer won't let me download it SP3 again on the existing SP3 file, so I'm stuck.

  
  

  Someone has a very simple solution, how can I put back the link or shortcut DESKTOP CONNECTION remote on my desktop but it works correctly and also back to START / all PROGRAMS / ACCESSORIES / COMMUNICATIONS to connect on my VPS service Office?  I'm totally Luddite as you can tell, so I don't know if there is a major or minor problem, but I appreciate all the support!

  
  

  Thank you, Jim Pinkerton 

   

  Open search and search for mstsc.exe, where it is found right click and choose open folder, item selected right click and choose send to desktop, create a shortcut, it will be back on your desktop.

• The desktop icons don't "Refresh" copied or deleted

  This a problem that just started. There are two scenerios:
  1 copy or create a new icon on the desktop, however, it does not appear there. Yet when I go to Windows Explorer and navigate to my desktop folder, the file is there. The only time I can get the icon to appear, or 'Refresh' is when I restart the computer.
  2. I have delete a file on the desktop, however, it is simply there. When I try to delete it again, he says that the file does not exist.

  I think it's just a case of something to is not refreshing the desktop icons when these actions take place.

  Hi HarrisonHodgkins,

  See if updating the video card drivers helps. It works in some cases.

  If not, perform a clean boot and see if this is caused by a third-party software.

• Firefox desktop icon disappeared, but I still installed firefox

  How can I get the icon of firefox on my computer? When I updated to firefox, it put a square on my computer icon and I want the original icon. I deleted the square icon. What should I do to get this back? And, my firefox have not improved in ubuntu, when I tried to upgrade. What can I do?

  You can change the icon on the desktop via the context menu > properties, then click the icon in this window.
  
  Navigate to the folder icons in the Firefox installation folder that appears on the command line and select the mozicon128.png icon is in this folder.

  If there is only one order of firefox without path then probably find Firefox in the directory/usr/lib/firefox or you can launch Firefox and open the system monitor to display the path of the Firefox program.
