• The desktop icons to change the order after reboot

  Original title: the icons on the desktop in the Land of window 8

  Hello my friends. Before entering my question, I would like to thank all those who more graciously helped me with the many difficulties that I had with my old Dell XPS 8100 Studio, running Windows 7, Service Pack One, who went from the realms of the puffy clouds, halos, and * cherubs Flyin 'around pluckin' at the age of harps. Unfortunately he succumbed to Cyber Devils and digital demons that has infected. Even after the Pixel priest to perform an Electrosisim filled with the anointing of the Holy soldering, the pose of the figures on Ctrl-Alt-Delete, an attempt to restore to an earlier time, the computer was found dead of CPU. So at 2:35 on July-11-2013 with a tear to the eye and a hand shaking, I pulled the plug on my old Dell XPS Studio 8100 paper weight for 3 years and he passed quietly in the mist of the net and internet wholesale in the cloud. :)) So now I have a new ASUS computer and it runs Windows 8, and a few things are not as they were in Windows 7 like the arrangement of the icons on the desktop. Now, in Windows 7, I could resize, change the image and place the icons where I wanted to, and as long as I box unchecked her "snap to grid" in the settings under view they would remain locked in their assigned positions. Good, assuming that the parameters for the icons were the same as they were in Windows 7 in Windows 8, I went to the subject to carefully arrange my icons. When I had finished my task, I went in the view and the box unchecked that pesky 'snap to grid' and everything seemed fine until I had the need to restart the computer. After restart my office came on the screen and I couldn't believe my eyes, all of the icons that I had planned so carefully were in their original position they were before them, I changed? I went quickly into the display and don't you know that the "Snap to grid" box was checked. I tested this confusing situation several times, and any time the results were the same? Now, once more I seeks the advice and wisdom of you Wizards of Windows and Microsoft Magi digital defenders of the net in the hope that you might have a solution to my situation. Sincerely yours, Esq. Tiffany Amber Snow "Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope"

• Size of the desktop icon changes to large suite reboot - Windows 7

  Hi all

  I'm having this problem for a few months. The size of the icons on the desktop may be set to small. I had a setting in CUSTOMIZE > SHOW for children, but it not reduced the size of the icon on the desktop. Also, if I change the size of the icon on the desktop by ctrl + mouse wheel it comes down to grand after reboot.
  Please help me solve this annoying problem. I tried to install the latest drivers as well but still the problem persists.
  Thank you

• How to lock the desktop icons in a multiple monitor configuration

  Original title: lock the desktop icons - and display

  Working with Windows 7 Home Premium has a problem processing 2 pieces: no matter how many times I said I want the display screen appears on the monitor, the screen of the computer, every day he arbitrarily returns to the computer screen only. That creates the 2nd problem: the desktop icons that I have arranged for the largest monitor rearrange themselves to adapt to the computer screen. Is there a way I can lock the icons in this position that I used to be able to do? Or is it possible that I can keep the display to go back to the computer screen? (I'm careful to apply the instructions to display before the specified seconds elapse).

• missing desktop icons and reappear at the start?

  I have a desktop PC with i7 and 16 GB. It runs on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Whenever I start my PC, all the desktop icons appear normally and quickly at the beginning. Then at the end of the initialization, all the desktop icons would change the folder symbols of gray before returning to their normal color symbols, one or both. The PC works fine otherwise. So, what's up with that?

  When google, many seem to have a similar problem, but none offer a REAL solution. Care to help? Please provide only the answers that have been soundproofed/accepted as a solution to the problem.

  Hello

• Desktop icons missing when used without network domain

  I have a mystery involving laptops who lose their icons on the desktop when the user opens a session.  The scenario is as follows: If the domain network that has essentially the 'copy offline' is NOT available at the time of the log, and if the user is connected to another network in the home or travel (regardless if LAN or wireless), they will not receive their desktop icons.  To date, we need to make sure that these users cut their 'Wireless' and make sure they unplug his ethernet cable before they log on to the computer.  By doing this, their desktop icons appear very well.  Once their desktop computer is done loading, we have them re - connect their ethernet non-domaine cable or turn on their "wireless".

  I'll go a step far from adding the wireless switch must be in position 'ON' when a user opens a session, but as long as the laptop is not in the range of all configured previously wireless networks, it will load the icons very well.  It's almost as if whenever Windows 7 sees ANY network connection, it says: ' Hey, here's a network access, so it must be the network I need. "
  And finally, if the user is connected to the domain via the ethernet cable network, BUT their without wireless is enabled and there is a connection to our router Comcast wireless, it still will not load the desktop icons.
  I don't know if it's a Windows 7 problem, a field/group policy issue or a setting of strategy/local on the laptop.

  Hello

  Note that your computer is under domain, you must contact the TechNet forum, where we are the support technicians who are well equipped with knowledge on the issues of domain, do please visit the link provided below.

• Satellite M105-S308: silent acoustic CD/DVD icon appears in the taskbar

  I used my Satellite M105-S3084 for quite awhile (year?) when suddenly for the first time a new icon appeared on my taskbar of Windows XP.

  This is the icon for the acoustic CD/DVD Toshiba muffler.

  Because I've never had this icon appears before (and yes I used my CD player a bit), I became concerned about his sudden appearance.

  What is malware? What could arise? Do I need? Can I stop it from running?

  Thank you.

  > Would be - this malware?
  No, it is not malware. This is as designed Toshiba utility. When you listen to music CDs, you can switch to silent mode, and the DVD player runs very quiet.

  > What could arise?
  It is not easy to explain. This utility usually starts with Windows.

  > Do I need?
  No. I am sure that you can live without this utility.

  > Can stop it from running?
  Yes you can. Either remove you it from the startup folder system or check or even entered in the System Configuration utility, under the Startup tab (start run MSCONFIG).

  Good bye
