• Windows XP: desktop icons changed to the same names, but retained their original functions

  Hello

  I know that put at the point before, but the problem was never properly solved. I have Windows XP. While I was changing the name of one of my Office Word Document files yesterday, all of a sudden all my desktop icons changed under the same name. I can't tell you how it happened. 'My computer', 'My Documents', 'Trash' 'Internet Explorer', 'Adobe Reader', 'Corel Photo House', "MS Paint", "HP Solution Center" and eight other program launch icons, as well as 12 document records and 25 files of Word document on my desk, all had the same name change that I'd just been undertaken with one Word on my desktop files. Each icon has yet launched the successful operation or properly open to its original content.

  I called my friends in the Geek Squad to two different Best Buys and they had never heard of him. I called Microsoft Corp. in Washington State and spoke to someone there. He had never heard of this before but found a couple of reports, one in 2006 and one in 2009. He said that he asked around the House Microsoft and if he could find an answer, post it on the forum.

  No one was able to tell me how it could happen and no one could tell me how to fix it.

  I then, on my own, done a restore of the system in two days. He restored the original names on all the items that I have listed above and it restored the original names on all 12 desktop file folders. But it does not restore the names under the 25 Word document files. Those that I had to open individually to see what they were and then rename them manually the original name. Would enjoy to hear your opinion on this.

  Hi Pete,.

  I tried what you wrote... Select all the files, rename one file and all the files are renamed automatically - as I thought - but for a change of my computer, my network places and My Document obtained renamed the sting that it represents in the registry! I tried CTRL + Z file names seem to be restored, but not for the default icons!... Seems interesting...

• All the desktop icons change set to an incompatible program.

  The desktop icons all try to open with the same program, so for most fail. Restart doen't fix it. Restore to a previous point failed to 3 different restore times. Open programs from the Start button, but the link to transfer on the table, they come back to the same type of icon. At present, everything is tempting (and failing) to open it in SKYPE!  Web sites and email work OK after some fiddling. Please, any help?

  How to restore all my desktop icons. They currently had at all the logos of itunes and itunes open only all even though shortcuts are labelled with what they were before.

  Hello soupsta and Hong2004,.

  Because this problem only occurs when you install iTunes and went when your iTunes deleting, I suggest that you see Apple focus groups.
  Click here for a link to the Apple/iTunes discussion forums.

  They should be able to help solve your problem.

  Thank you

  Hello

  -What do you mean by "all the desktop icons must change size?
  -Did you do changes on the computer before this problem?
   
  Method 1: I suggest to maintain the computer in clean boot mode and check if the problem persists.
  A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.
  You can read the following article to configure the computer to boot:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
  Note: After the troubleshooting steps, see step 7 in binding boot is a way of putting your computer to normal startup mode.
   
  Method 2: I suggest you to make sure that all device drivers (such as display cards, network cards, keyboard, mouse, etc) are more recent and compatible with Windows 7.
  Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly
   
  Method 3: I suggest using Microsoft Safety scanner and check if it helps.

  Microsoft safety scanner

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  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. The Microsoft Safety Scanner is not a replacement for the use of antivirus software that offers continuous protection. For a real-time protection that helps you keep your home or small office PC against viruses, spyware and other malicious software, download Microsoft Security Essentials.

   
  Hope this information helps.

  No, it is not normal.
  Question: only the icons of the RFSO are affected, or all the desktop icons are affected?

  Suggestions...

  1 rebuild the icon cache.

  2. do a system restore. Choose the date until windows updated have been installed as your restore point.

  After that, see if...

  a. doc icons are back to normal.

  b. when the same windows updates are available again to install, install and see if the same problem occurs.

• Desktop icons changed to the "Presidency".

  OK, so I don't have the prettiest desktop computer in the world, but I don't know how to navigate to everything when I need it.
  recently, I noticed that some of my desktop icons and folders have been renamed "Chair" and "Chair (1) «consecutively...»»
  I want to know is if anyone has had this happen to them or if its just something mine decided to do it because it's a sign that I should spend my tax on a new computer? HA

  Are these personal folders or shortcuts of programs?

  It is not normal that one of these be renamed out of the blue one day,.

  Maybe look in the use of these free scanners and search for corruption.

• 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
  AK

  Hi arulkarana.

  Right-click on the desktop, and select View to make sure you have small icons .
