  All my desktop icons disappeared from my Windows 7 Desktop and toolbar on the bottom is misssing. all I get is my pic of screensaver. I can't draw anything.

  Oh! If you think it's a Virus/Malware then take your HARD drive internal to another machine and have it is scanned with a good Antivirus updated. If nothing else works the hard way is to format your machine.

• 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 :-)

• Desktop shortcuts for items on the network sometimes drives disappear from the Office

  I have a number of shortcut icons on my desktop Windows 7 (RC1) to the network elements - some are files on a NAS server, some are mapped as the floppy drives, etc. However, Windows 7 seems to sometimes simply remove all without notice, and I have to recreate all the shortcuts to my NAS articles again.

  I wondered at first if this may have been because Windows sometimes would start until all my network devices is available, but when that happens, he scored just correctly icons with a red x to indicate that he could not find them at startup, and as soon as the NAS is available then shortcuts work fine.

  However at random intervals, seven of these shortcuts simply disappear from the desktop. All other shortcuts and icons are very good and the mapped drives are always present in my 'Computer' screen - it's just the focused on the NAS shortcuts on the desktop that disappear.

  No idea why this is happening?

  André

  If you create shortcuts from desktop to removable storage locations such as NAS icons will disappear from time to time because Windows 7 has a built in scheduling the task to clean up unused or broken links.

  To prevent the task to run, you must disable the task in the task schedular: Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-Task Scheduler
  Expand the tree in the left pane until you get to the Task Scheduler Library-Microsoft-Windows-diagnosis.
  In the right pane, right click on the named scheduled task, and then click on disable.

• shortcut on the desktop icons disappear in windows 7.

  Hello, good morning.

  I'm back with yet another question.

  I've recently converted to Windows 7 from XP Pro and have had problems. This last is rather strange. It seems only to happen Monday a.m.. The shortcut icons disappear from the desktop. Today - Monday - they have waited until between 10 and 11:00 go AWOL, but have been known to leave earlier.

  I tried a few remedies offered online following (Yes, the 'Show icons' box is checked) and so far nothing seems to improve the situation.

  I am currently using Windows 7 Service Pack 1.

  I use the software on a Dell Optiplex 380 which has been upgraded to 2 GB of RAM - processor is an Intel Core 2 DUO 2.93 GHz - it is a 32-bit operating system.

  I managed to find a number (KB 2670504) on the Microsoft Web site. This document or software fix or anything that was to offer a solution to the problem, but I wasn't able to find it on the Web site.

  I can only say that I had no problems like this with the faithful XP software. It ran like a champ. But I guess time marches on.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Rudy Hemmann

• Shortcut network disappeared from the Office of Windows7

  Hello
  first of all sorry for my English, I'm Italian!

  I'm a system for a small and medium business administrator. We are moving to Windows 7, because I think it's faster and more reliable than XP... but we have a little problem:
  Any customer using a new PC running Windows 7 , are complaining of the same problem (but boring):
  Some times generally (after the reboot, but not always) all the 'shortened network' disappear from office without reason.
  With the word "shortcut network" I mean: link to the remote folder (folder on a network file server), link to computer from the network or link to my own connections (such as the VPN to my company)
  An especially don't bind to the network resources are affected by this problem, [the desktop icon, the internal links, ore file icons, are not affected by this problem]

  It happened to me also (on all of my 3 PCs) and I'm really surprised!
  I found some forums with the same question:
  example 1 http://forums.techarena.in/operating-systems/1285630.htm
  Example 2 http://www.bdc-forum.it/showthread.php?t=91939
  but all have not yet given a comprehensive response

  Can you help me?
  Best regards
  Giorgio

  BossDweebe thanks for your quick response. Yes, I mean that!

  In general I want to say "link on the desktop pointing to external resources" as:

  link to removabke USB pen
  link to the memory card
  link to the computer from the network
  link to the shared folder [not on my PC] network.

  My idea was this link to clean periodically broken (or does not apparently) of windows from the desktop:

  Without doubt, I found the solution for this problem:

  You must click the Start Menu > Control Panel and then > go to system and security > administrative tools (bottom) > Task Scheduler > Task Scheduler (Local) (top left corner) > Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > diagnosis >

  (right pane) Right-click on planned > disabled

  In the case of the active shortcuts then all desktop external drives such as card readers, usb, CD/DVD player and also Panel readers so items are deleted by Windows 7 when planning

• Volume shortcut icon has disappeared from the Vista tray

  Volume shortcut icon has disappeared from my status bar at the bottom of the screen... How do I get it back?
  Seems silly, but I can't find it!

  Hello

  Have you checked the settings in the taskbar and Start Menu Properties?
  There should be a tab named Notification area.

  In this tab, you find an option; Hide inactive icons.
  You can turn off (disable) this device or you can customize it.
  In addition, you can choose which icons should be available and shows even the Hide inactive icons option would be activated.

  In some cases, these options may be grayed out
  In this case, you will need to find a registry key:
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \TrayNotify

  and here you have to delete the keys: + IconStreams + and + PastIconStream +.
