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.

  • the desktop icons disappear when I connect through a VPN

    On my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, SP1 system, automatic reorganization and snap to grid are unchecked.  And I don't have problems with icons on a restart.  I have problems when I access my system in my home using a VPN and the DRC.

    Sometimes when I connect, I find that most of my desktop shortcut icons have disappeared and the few remaining ones are reorganized.  It happens every time and I did not understand a common denominator as to when it occurs.

    I copied all my desktop shortcuts to a folder on a different drive if I can put them all after they disappear, but when I copy and paste them on the desktop, they do not return to the same places they were in front.  Instead, they are lined up on the grid starting at the top left and go down and creating more columns until all the icons were pasted.

    So, I have to manually, drag and drop them where I want them to be.

    Like others who interrogated him about the desktop icons, when I right click on the desktop I do not receive a "Properties" link as shown.  I'm getting , sort by view, refresh, paste & paste the shortcut, cancel deletion, New, screen resolution, Gadgets and Personalize.

    I also tried another solution that said"right-click an empty space on your desktop and Select the desktop icons.  When I right click, I get the menu described in the previous paragraph.  Then when I start to clicking on icons to highlight, the menu disappears.  If I pointed out all the icons first and then with the right button on the desktop, the menu and the highlighting disappears.

    How can lock the desktop icons?  I agree with the donor who asked a parameter for "don't mess with my desktop computer EVER.

    Hi Jane,

    Given that the problem seems to occur when you access your system from home using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) and RDC (Remote Desktop connection). I would like you to post your question in the TechNet forums for help.

  • How to get a reservation in DHCP address when using NAT networking?

    I am looking for a solution on how to make a reservation in DHCP for a VM for Linux Mint13 when using NAT networking.

    It would make life so much easier if I could be sure that this machine has a fixed IP address, I might add in the host to host files and thus get name resolution working for her.

    I use the virtual linux machine mainly to test a Web site before going live and I used the bridged network and listed my DLINK router DHCP reservation.

    But it won't work if I move the laptop Win7 to another place, so I really need NAT and a fixed address.

    I found this discussion, which deals with the same issue so I followed the solution and this added to the end of vmnetdhcp.conf:

    host agiwebdev {}

    Hardware ethernet 00: 0C: 29:72:09:58;

    fixed-address 192.168.80.10;

    }

    (with comments, stop and WorkStation7 closed altogether).

    But the result after starting it all this is still once the client always reports its address as 192.168.80.157, which is the old address it before my edit.

    What have I done wrong?

    The guest of LinuxMint13 was created and is running in VMWare Workstation on a host Win7ProX64 7.1.6

    I'm really stupid...

    It turns out that the answer was in the discussion I linked to:

    Restart the service of Windows 7 VMWare DHCP service with disconnected guest network card, then plug it in and the new address is here!

    Simple as that!

    So in fact already was answering the question I asked.

    The DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL bug control has a value of 0x000000D1. This indicates that a kernel-mode driver attempted to access pageable memory with a high IRQL.

    I suggest you goto, Ralink Technology site and download the latest version of network print driver. Even if you have not made it clear if that is indeed the network card or wireless adapter. Anyway I'll make sure update you both of them. I would also do that windows has all the latest updates.

    Hi Sinead,

    Thanks for posting your question on the forum of the Microsoft community.

    I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

    What is the brand and model of your computer?

    "Code 10" error is generated in the Device Manager in one of the following situations:

    -Device Manager cannot start the device.
    -One of the pilots who needs the unit does not start.
    -Device Manager has sufficient information to recognize the error that spread upwards by the device driver.

    Note: in this case, the "Code 10" error can be a very generic message indicating some sort of unspecified driver or device problem.

    I suggest you run this Microsoft fixit and check if it helps.
