desktop icons downloaded from internet

the desktop icons, downloaded from the internet, but figure out how to put them on my desk. I made a folder of icon of shortcut for them and they can pull up, but don't know how to remove the old icons and use the new.

Right-click on the icon you want to change, and, in the shortcut tab, click on 'change icon '. Click "Browse", go to the location of the icon you want to, select it and click 'open '. Click OK again on 'OK' on the first window that came, and you're done.

  • All my desktop icons disappeared from my Windows 7 Desktop

    I created several icons on Desktop 4 computers after installing clean computers with Windows 7 Profession (whether with the 32-bit or 64-bit). After a few days, some of the desktop icons disappear. However, when I click on the toolbar of office at the bottom of the Windows desktop, icons that disappeared from the Office were always present and available in the list of desktop toolbar. I've seen many users have the same problem on the Internet but no solution to the problem. Any suggestion for the fix.

    Hi guys,.

    I found the cause of her mysteriously disappear from the Windows 7 desktop icons and the reason why the Show Desktop icons now and then get UN-ticked.

    INFRARECORDER is! Try for yourself, when you start Infrarecorder and close the bottle, go take a look at 'See the desktop icons', it is not checked (but the icons are still there). Check it on again and start Infrarecorder... He is not checked again.

    This Windows 7 "bug" is irritating for me since the beginning and now I found the cause: it is Infrarecorder that causes this problem.

    Test it and please let me know and spread the word :-)

  • Impossible to download a demo of a web site download more (without given option when I click th right) since I've refreshed. Still can be downloaded from Internet Explorer but

    When I right click on an element of demo (music video in this case) that is for the download I get no option to download. He used to give me a until it had to update Firefox (because of me inadvertently allowing another site change the settings and configuration I used). When I use Internet explore the download works great (as used for Firefox). Watch a video of YouTube there used a download button, I also used to download. Now he's gone.

    Please first see these troubleshooting tips:

    Second, try a Safe Mode to make sure that it is not an add on that affect Firefox:
    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  • Router E900 with Macintosh - download from Internet computers

    I just bought an E900/switch wireless router to replace an old Linksys. I've been on the phone for more than two hours with a Linksys tech support (I don't want to even go there), and they can't help me.

    I set up the router for the Mac (OSX 10.5.8). main I have a laptop G4 (OSX 10.5.8) and also a Dell PC with XP (which I almost never use).

    The Dell works just fine. But here's the problem with Macs. MOST of the sites will be open very well - very quickly. However, there are a handful of Web sites that take a long time to open or won't open at all. It comes to Google, Yahoo, Youtube, and Facebook.  I tried everything and nothing seems to work.

    The technical support people can not explain either. Why would more average websites open in mili-seconds and the very basic (Google, Youtube, etc.) take forever?

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    This could have something to do with IPv6 connectivity. Some sites Web now uses the IPv6 servers. With your network running on IPv4, it takes time to translate the data to the format that the Web and its content pages tend too very slow load. See the article below for instructions.

    How can I disable IPv6 on Mac OS X?

    Hi Larry,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand from your description, that you cannot change the folder icon with a custom icon uploaded to the Internet.

    I'll be happy to help you. This problem could be caused because you may not have selected the right path or the location of the file that you downloaded or the downloaded file may be damaged or does not work or does not exist.

    I suggest to follow the steps below and we update on the State of the question.

    I recommend you to check or find the location of the file or path where exactly you downloaded and to check whether the file is actually present in the location and also check the file is fully downloaded and work very well.

    a. Subsequently, navigate to the folder that you change the icon and right-click on the folder.

    b. click Properties, click the Customize tab, click change icon, and click Browse.

    c. Select the correct path inside the menu drop-down or enter the correct path manually from the exact location of the downloaded file.

    d. open the file downloaded for the icon, choose the name of the file and click Open to select the file, and check to see if it helps you.

    If the problem persists, then I suggest you to download the file once more on the Internet and save it in a new folder and check the issue.

  • Satellite P200: Internet Explorer doesn't launch from the desktop icons

    HI -.

    I am running Windows Vista on a P200 Sat and I recently lost the ability to launch Internet Explorer my desktop icon or shortcut toolbar icon.

    I can launch it from my Windows Explorer ("C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe") and I can run it from a link in an email, just not on the part of the shortcut icons.

    Initially, I could do and have uploaded a number of updates to Vista since the purchase of my laptop, so maybe order something?

    Suggestions gratefully accepted!

    See you soon

    I think it's a problem with the IE shortcut on the desktop.
    You must remove this IE shortcut from the desktop and should copy or should create a new shortcut on the desktop in C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe

    That s all ;)

  • After download of Internet Explorer 8 I can't open all the icons in the control panel. On display is come information that Windows cannot find 'C\WINDOWS\system32\rundll.32.exe '.

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    Yesterday, I downloaded Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 web from Microsoft Download Center.

    After downloading Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, I can't open any icons in the control panel.

    On display is come information that Windows cannot find 'C\WINDOWS\system32\rundll.32.exe '.

    Help, please. Thanks Gene.

    Thanks Gene.

    Dear: :

    Running sfc/scannow will not replace the missing rundll32.exe file.

    Why you post methods that do not work and will be just wasting time?

    Hove you never even seen this problem before, tried to recreate it so that you can actually see, or have you never really fixed?

    Why you learn not what sfc/scannow does and does not do?

    Here is a simple test to you and all your colleagues in the technical support engineer:

    Rename or delete just your c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe file is "missing".

    Rename rundll32.exe---> rundll32.xxx

    If you started normally, before you can blink, the 'missing' rundll32.exe file quickly and quietly replace the copy in the dllcache folder.  It is the Protection of Windows file in action and you will see something like this in the Event Viewer log system:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Windows File Protection
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 64002
    Description:
    File replacement was attempted on the protected system file c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe. This file was restored to the original version to maintain system stability. The file version of the system file is 5.1.2600.5512.

    I beg you to perform this simple test to know how the sfc/scannow:

    Boot your system to Safe Mode or the recovery for the Windows File Protection Console does not run.

    For this example, we will use the system critical file rundll32.exe.

    Rename or delete your c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe.exe file so the file is now "missing."

    A critical file, is it true?  It is on the list of the file 3498 knows the Protection of Windows and SFC files, but now he isn't.

    If Windows File Protection is running, the "missing" file would be quickly and silently replaced (try to rename or delete it in normal mode and it will be quickly and quietly replaced).

    Now, with your file rundll32.exe missing, start in Normal mode and try to use something like control panel to open something like Power Options and you'll see that familiar message:

    Control Panel
    Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe '.  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.

    Now you have recreated a common problem with the missing file and seen the error of our own eyes.  A Microsoft Support Engineer will usually suggest running sfc/scannow for this kind of problem, but it will not work or help and you can prove it to yourself, and now you have reproduced the error.

    You follow own advice and run sfc/scannow to the end.

    The rundll32.exe is always had disappeared, right?  Did run sfc/scannow replace the missing critical system file?

    How can he be so sfc/scannow is supposed to replace the missing system files?  This is because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

    Now you know sfc/scannow does not.  He did not replace your missing system file (don't forget to put your rundll32.exe back so you will have a).

    Now, go to c:\windows\system32\dllcache and delete or rename the file rundll32.exe from there - and it will be gone and not replaced automatically because the Windows File Protection does not seem after this record.

    Run sfc/scannow in full again.

    Replace the file rundll32.exe missing in the dllcache folder, since it handles missing files (not the system32 folder) IS the folder that sfc/scannow.

    Now you know sfc/scannow does.

    Do you need help to know too much about the corrupt system files?

    Since most people do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, they will not be able to develop a copy of the file that is missing from the installation CD, they have not.

    After some directions on how to replace the file when the user has no XP bootable installation CD authentic and that will be useful to all.

    If you don't know how to say "I don't know how" and I'll help you.

    You want to inform/warn the poster that SP3 is installed that running sfc/scannow will take a long time for the installation of SP3 CD?

    If you do not have a CD with the same Service Pack as your installation (most people don't), the posters are in for a rough and frustrating time.

    Of course this will help with the detachment of the Ministry of Education of the impossible to try things that don't work, but I thought I'd throw it out there for the 100th time.
