• Desktop icons Windows 7 converted at each reboot

  Windows 7 reorganizes my desktop icons after each reboot or after coming out of standby/hibernation.

  I am running Windows 7 Build 7100 on a laptop Dell Latitude D830 completely standard (which includes a nVidia Quadro NVS 140 M graphics controller). All drivers are clean windows; I have not replaced all the drivers with vendor-specific versions.

  I'm not using a KVM, I'm not using a projector or external monitor, and I never change the resolution of the screen. It couldn't be simpler: I start, move my desktop icons to where I like them, working for a few hours and closed. On the next reboot half of the desktop icons have been moved. There are no error messages or a warning during startup or shutdown, so no reason to explore should be unhappy.

  Clearly, this is a bug. But what is the workaround?

  I want to do is organize the icons in one, for me, in a logical way and fix then this arrangement as well as reboot icons are arranged in the same way. I searched everywhere but may not know how to do this. I know that this must be possible because this interference is just a recent phenomenon and I know I must have done something to bring.
  I thank anyone in advance, can provide assistance with this.

• Windows Vista boot on the computer desktop/icons

  Run the Task Manager and closing tasks, I inadvertently closed a program associated with the icons from starup office window... How can I get this back on the desktop of the computer without performing a restore?

  What program do you have loved ones? If you end-load on explorer.exe, you can start it by choosing new task and typing: explorer.exe. Or just restart the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• The desktop icons Windows 7 keep moving and changing size on reboot

  After the last update of Windows, icons (10/07/12) the Office will move to the left side of the screen and change the size of small to medium. Automatic reorganization is NOT checked. Only to snap to grid is turned on. There has been no other software installed since run Windows Update. The video drivers are up to date. I tried all the recommendations made in various online forums from the ridiculous (Refresh) to third-party manufacturers (Stardock Fences) software. The only thing that worked was fences that I wouldn't need to use and even then, if you click Refresh icons are trying to move to the left side of the screen and resize anyway. The fact that this all started after the restart after the Patch the latest Tuesday updated. What the * did you do this time Microsoft?

• Control Panel icons and the desktop icons are all frozen. The system is Windows Vista + office computer HP

  Another forum for desktop icons frozen suggests will restore program, but I'm having trouble

  by following the instructions given. Any detailed instructions and suggestions - or any other solutions would be much

  appreciated!

  You are welcome; Sorry, it didn't fix it.

  It seems that by what you tell us it works OK in Mode safe as the system restore worked.

  Function icons open programs and run in a reasonable manner in Mode safe?

  Try this:

  Download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware in Mode safe mode with networking:

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

  And here's how to go in Safe Mode options; Select safe mode with networking from the list of options:

  Here is information on improving the performance of MS, but it was not intended to fix the frozen icons!

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  There are many things that could cause this type of problem.

  They may have installed more then an Antivirus, which is a no-no.

  If the worst happens, instead of scrapping, back up the data and reinstall Vista from the DVD or from the recovery partition.

  When I try to install a program that is about 10 M or more all my icons disappear from my office (with the exception of the value default ones) as well as most of the programs I just installed and no matter what I transferred from my external DRIVE to C: also drive most of the programs supplied with the computer records and files disappear so.  In the menu START > all PROGRAMS, it says to empty.  I pinned to my BEGINNING of things are still there.  I put my computer to 'presets' 3 times, first with the recovery partition D, then twice with H.P. recovery disks that I ordered.  (Order # SFQ70601). Still the same problem.  When I install programs all less than 10 M seems ok. But once again, when I try to install a program of 10 M or more, the value default small circle made the round and round for about 45 seconds then I see my desktop icons disappear with the above mentioned results.   In Windows Explorer, I installed under Program Files (x 386) very few emissions is still there.  Some records are that the content or part of the content are not. At one time given after all that has happened and everything is gone, and the small wheel stop twirling I got an error message stating that I didn't have the permission to access the exe file. There seems to be no rhyme or reason, why all this happens.  Help, please.  Thank you!
