  • Some user icons have disappeared from the Office

    I use a Sony Vaio laptop running Vista business with Service Pack 2.

    Earlier today, most of the icons on my desktop disappeared. Who else is shortcuts in the folder C:\USERS\PUBLIC\DESKTOP.  Those who have disappeared are those of C:\USERS\MYNAME\DESKTOP.  When I look in this file by using Solution Explorer, all the files are still present. It's just you display the icon on the desktop that is missing.

    I am connected to my usual account that has administrator privileges.  Office properties are set to "Show desktop icons" and "snap to grid".

    Earlier today, I installed an update of AVG Internet Security and performed a full scan, but can't say for sure if the disappearance of the icons has coincided with this.

    It seems that the system is linking the visible office with the files in the Public folder, but not those in my personal file.

    I tried to restore the system to the earlier dates, but this did not restore desktop layout.

    Can anyone tell how to recover? Help will be very appreciated.

    Hi Jessen

    Thanks for your reply.

    In fact, it became obvious that the registry has been damaged.  I restored the registry to a previous state by using a backup, and that solved the problem.

    Thank you for your suggestions.

  • Icons have disappeared from the screen. How to recover?

    All my icons disappeared a week ago and I can't get back them. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello Moira.

    You had recently done anything or made any changes to your computer just before this started? Were in line just before that happens? In both cases two different things to try. First, go to control panel, backup and restore, and click Restore. You find a restore point that is at least a week ago, and preferably at least a day or two before your icons have disappeared. Making the point of restoration solves the problem for you?

    If not, or for later use, you must download, install, and then run these two anti-malware applications:

    Malwarebytes' anti-malware: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html .

    SuperAntiSpyware: http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html.

    Then run your antivirus application do not have? I use and recommend Avast: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html.

    Let me know how you fare.

  • My icons have disappeared from the SysTray

    All icons except time disappeared from my system tray.  A KB (sorry, missed the number) indicated that may result by calling the Hibernate power function.   I didn't exactly, however, under Options of Panel\Power control, the presentations tab, I put "Turn off monitor" and "standby" to "after 1 hour" for a few days. "  All icons except time disappeared.

    After I restore all settings power forever, however, the icons are not returned.

    There are many posts & FAQ on restoring the volume, usually with regard to C:\WIndows\system32\sndvol.32.exe, I think they can refer in case there is no sound at all.  I have the sound and the sndvol32.exe file seems to be good and in the right place (2).

    So I think that my problem is not just the Volume icon, but there is a problem with all the icons, not just volume.

    I also saw the FAQ related to a repair of the problem on "My Network Places" icon, but they have not worked for me.

    There was also a suggestion to install the original Windows XP disc and restore the original files.  In my case, that would mean coming back to SP2.  I have SP3 disk, but I mention it only to point to how 'old', some of these files systen will do.  So, I have to ask:

    • And how about the odd updates 300 listed in my CP/Add and Remove programs?
    • Does not remove the customization settings, that I may have made in the last 4-5 years?  A horrible thought!

    Would appreciate any suggestions

  • backup hd disappeared from the Office

    Today, I received a message that does not have my Time Machine backup.  While they inspected out, I find that my HD internal backup icon has disappeared from my office.  Yikes!  How find it & get it back?  I run first aid disk backup and the Info window says "not mounted."  However, he finds the disk in the finder window,

    I would add that the first aid app takes a long time and the small progress bar indicates no progress at all.  "He's been on: checking multiple related files" forever.
