• The desktop icons have all disappeared, moved to the taskbar.

  My desktop icons have disappeared.  I tried to do a right click on the desktop, but nothing happens, no pop - up menu or anything like that.  The desktop items have been moved to the taskbar background, so I have access to all my icons, but I'd like to come back to the office.  I tried to drag items on the desktop from the taskbar on the desktop, but nothing happens.  It's as if the desktop is locked.  Time virus scan clean.  Windows updated last night, but I don't know if that is related.   Any ideas?  Thank you.

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

• 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 :-)

• Where did my desktop icons?

  My desktop icons have disappeared but their descriptions are always where the icons used to be - where they went and why when I right click on the desktop nothing happens?  If I reboot, my icons are back and I get a menu when I right click on the desktop.  OS is Vista Home Premium 32-bit.  The bar of tasks continues to try to find where I hid and the start menu appears from time to time without any input from the keyboard or the mouse.  This happened about a month and is regularly multiply.  Pane Windows will continue to function normally.

• My desktop icon disappeared? I need to press start see firefox?

  I have nothing to add. When I myself am logged in my firefox icon had disappeared.

  You can try to drag the Firefox icon on the desktop if it's the icon of the default browser.

  Note that you need to browse programs and go into the folder Mozilla and then Firefox and not to use the default browser icon.

  You can also create a new shortcut using Windows Explorer and go to the folder Firefox program.

• Desktop icons disappear

  Having just downloaded the latest Firefox update (I'm on the beta channel), as soon as it restarts, five of my desktop icons disappeared. I have more than 60 icons on my desktop and I don't remember what they are. Is it possible to know what icons have disappeared and the recovery please?

  Hi markyb208,

  I'm not sure what you have a problem with Firefox.

  Are you talking about icons on your Windows 7 desktop. In a standard installation, Firefox will try to add an icon on the desktop, but it shouldn't do something to remove the icons.

• Pavilion p7: the desktop icons disappeared

  When I started my pc this morning I founf that all my desktop icons disappeared

  Hmm, that's strange. I wonder if you might have accidentally switched to Tablet mode, where the desktop icons would not display. See switch between Mode desktop and Tablet (Windows 10).

  If this does not work, try to install the Windows updates and reboot your computer. I would also like to run a virus scan. Good luck!
