Desktop icon question - great, WLAN icon on the desktop

original title: the desktop icon question

Last night my laptop automatically downloaded updates for Microsoft Windows 7. This morning he said updates installed and starts normally. However, I now have an 'icon' large, transparent, non-interactive in the form a tower with the title "WLAN" stuck to a place on the left side of my desk. I didn't notice at first but after my internet started, realized quickly that it was there. This "icon" does not disappear any application, I opened. After searching the Web for what it might be, I scanned my computer with an analysis of the software and programs malware/dracovenii (suggestion) I am free with happiness at the same time my antivirus favorite. I checked to see if it was a widget/gadget and it isn't. I continued to control internet, microsoft.com, and asus technical forums to see no answers to my dilemma. If anyone has an idea of what it is and whether it can be removed, I would be grateful for the help.

After some research, I went to my control panel > programs > seen the installed updates and check my recent updates, since I am very sure that they were the cause of my problem.

After looking for Microsoft. com with codes of 3 security update that has been installed recently, I came to the conclusion that the update of KB2552343 was the update that has the problem of the "ghost WLAN icon.

So I uninstalled this update, and I turned off my automatic installation of the feature updates in my windows update program. I now put to download updates and install them manually.

I hope that everything that has the problem in the first place is fixed with a future update, because I prefer to have all updates automatically downloaded and installed security. More information on my computer that is its a K61 series laptop Asus K61IC.

Thanks again for all your time and I am very happy that I could solve this problem myself and others provide assistance to its subject.

  • How can I add missing icon to the desktop shortcuts

    Question too much techno for me... I have several desktop shortcut icons... For most of those who appear as the Mozilla Fox, which is fine, but unfortunately, there are too many icons in Firefox, and I wanted to change some REAL WEB SITE icon, or the favicon. How will I know how to do this? Thank you!

    It is not a matter of Firefox making it simple - the Windows operating system controls the desktop icons, so with 3rd party Windows applications automatically use the application for the shortcut icon, but it is possible to change the image of what you want.

    If you want the image of the Web site that the site to use for the URL bar as a shortcut on the desktop icon to a Web site:

    1. Define the shortcut on the desktop.
    2. Find and save the image you want to use for this shortcut.
    3. Then right click on that shortcut, then open properties > shortcut on the shortcut menu for the shortcut on the desktop, then use "change icon...". " and "Browse... ". " your hard drive for the image you want to use for the shortcut on the desktop.

    Insofar as find and save the Favicon of the site, see the screenshot below.

    1. Locate the icon on the Info Page > media tab and click on it once so it is highlighted, then view this picture in the preview window of media down and also check the Dimensions 32 x 32, if the image is not a picture of Type X-ICON.
    2. Then use the button Save under to save this image - name which has saved something unique, as (for example this forum) mozilla - favicon.ico image then you can tell him apart from any other favicon.ico image you may have saved or save.

    If you want to use your own choice of an image, you can convert the image into an image to favicon.ico here.

    When you create a favicon.ico for use as a desktop image, make sure that you select the option merge with a 32 x 32 desktop icon on this page.

  • How can I get specific programs and app icons appears in the form of shortcut icons on the desktop?

    Hello.  I have Windows Vista (boo) on my laptop.  In the past I've created shortcuts on the desktop for applications and programs and they inserted the icon on the desktop.  The only time wherever I got the generic icon, for example, document, spreadsheet, internet, etc. has been when I was creating a shortcut to a document, etc.  I know I can do a right-click on the shortcut and click on change icon but the options it gives me are more associated with a linked program systems.  Can you help me, please?

    Hi AdeleAnderson,

    If you do not have a program associated with a file, the shortcut will display only generic icons.

  • Some icons on the start menu are missing after a remote desktop session in Windows 7

    I use Win7 Pro SP1 and whenever I come back to my office after finishing a session desktop connection to my computer remotely, I noticed several of the icons in the all programs from the Start Menu section changed to default page icons. If I try to open any programs that are pinned to the start itself, it will indicate that the program cannot be found. Notepad and Calculator in particular to keep more victims of this problem.

    I also noticed that the audio controller is disabled until I restart.

    I found a batch file that will rebuild the icon cache, but this very annoying to have to keep doing it because I have to remote into my computer almost every morning for the daily scrum meetings we hold in a conference room.

    Does anyone know a permanent fix?

  • Icon on the desktop without permission changes - new

    This is a thread to an old problem that has re-curred: see also http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/desktop-program-icon-changes-without-authority/88ceb811-edfd-42a0-86ae-f024ebb84c92

    I am connected to the re-currency it a few days ago, with some info on the link who has worked the last time and a question.  No one has yet responded, and on the prospect that old nets are more current on your side, I raised it a new.

    Specifically, it is the image that I see with the white windows icon

    The desktop icon is the element "in white" Windows.  Select it, properties/change icon, I got trapped change Panel adjacent to the empty desktop icon.  The icon displayed by the control panel change is correct.  The path in the target box is correct, and in the Explorer, the file icon is also correct.  Using the process of change icon for the desktop icon, I can change the icon of the Virgin and the other in the list, and that works.  Having done that, change this return returns to the windows item.  Program re - starts, hot and cold, re-boots don't change this.  When the program is opened, the correct icon appears in the system at the bottom of the screen bar.

    I have the previous file of fixit winfolder stored on my machine (mentioned in the last thread) and applied.  It found no errors.  Then I tried later that displays the link in the old thread (which the question mentioned was subject), saved the file and then run.  He also found no error.

    So, how can I fix this so the correct icon appears on the desktop?

  • Windows 7 - How can I get rid of an "All Control Panel items" icon on the desktop?

    Only, I've migrated to Vista Ultimate x 64 to Windows 7 Professional x 64.  I used Laplink to move all my users, programs, and settings.  Everything is great, except now there is an icon on the desktop for all my users that I can't get rid of - it connects to the control panel and is called "All Control Panel items" - it cannot be deleted or moved to the Recycle Bin. Make a right click on it brings up a menu with 'open' and 'create a shortcut' by dragging it to the trash does not delete it.

    If I am right cick on the desktop and add Control Panel to the items displayed on the desktop, a second control Panel icon appears with the same picture, but the text is just 'control panel '.

    I don't know there is a registry key that I have to remove or adjust but after a lot of research can't find anything.

    Open the Publisher of the registry (Regedit.exe) and navigate to:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace]

    Backup the key by exporting to a REG file.

    Expand the branch above and delete the following subkey:

    {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
    (The above is the GUID for "All Control Panel items" Namespace)

    Similarly, to remove the entry here (if found)

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace]
