Finding things on the desktop

When I did things on the desktop such as records, that I can never find them again once how do I do a better job so that I can find my files quickly and easily, I know there are few menu display but I don't know how to use it

There is no miracle solution to finding things on a messy desk (be it a real office or on a computer screen).  Here are three ideas, but I don't think that you will find one of them is particularly satisfying:

You can right-click on an empty space on the desktop, select "sort by" and then select name, size, modified Date, or item Type.

You can open Windows Explorer, navigate to the desktop, and then use the search box in the upper right.

You can download the excellent free program Agent Ransack and who use looking for things, by limiting the scope of the search on the desktop.  https://www.Mythicsoft.com/agentransack

For the last two ideas, your office is just another file and is located in

C:\Users\\Desktop

  • I can't find it on the desktop after downloading firefox

    I downloaded firefox. Later when I tried to find Firefox I couldn't find the symbol on my desktop

    If you downloaded the installer of Firefox, you must run it on your computer to install Firefox on your computer before you can use it.

    If you have already run the Setup program, it could not have created a shortcut to Firefox on your desktop. Try Firefox by typing in the search box on the start menu screen / and see if something happens.

  • Windows 7 64 bit, start slowing down, the desktop icons and taskbar of loading very slowly since last week!

    so first, I'll start with my system features:

    Reference Dell Xps15z
    Intel Core i7 - 2640M to 2.8 ghz
    NVIDIA GT525M 2 GB
    8 GB RAM
    Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64-bit
    Samsung PM830 SSD 2.5 "7 GB 218, 42 GB of free
    My laptop is now just a year and plays well outside some blue screen errors that have been fixed. The question now is time to start being significantly slower, especially the loading of the office. It takes 15 seconds to the password screen, to 45 seconds to reach the office and another 45 seconds to the taskbar, icons and things on the desktop to load. What is unusual is that during this black screen, my mouse is displayed, as well as for Advanced System Care 6 performance monitor (I doubt that this is the problem as I had installed for some time). I did the troubleshooting on mine and removed about half of my program without success. I also checked the health and performance of my SSD with SSD and SSD life and both seem to be very positive. I did not any changes to the Bios because I don't want to reinstall my OS and I'm not really sure on workarounds.
    I tried also to the difficulty of the task of explorer.exe, by checking the value of shell in the registry and it is correct, that it just load slowly at the start and each time I kill and then open it again in the Task Manager. Therefore, I think that my main problem is with explorer.exe loading slowly for some reason, I also removed some desktop icons and taskbar, although I doubt that it makes much difference.
    I've also done many scans with malware bytes pro and hitman pro, there is no virus on my computer.
    I appreciate any help, as it is very inconvenient for my more than 90 seconds start time, when he was about 20 when the laptop was new.
    Thank you very much for your help!
    P.S. I have about 60 GB of games installed on my pc via steam, if it makes a difference to delete some

    When my Windows 7 is slow to start, I do the following:

    Start, then in the search box, type of race. In run, type "msconfig"(sans guillemets), and then click OK. ""
    In the general tab, make sure that selective startup is selected.
    Under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
    Then go to the Startup tab and disable everything except software antivirus and important such as the microsoft. In addition, DO NOT disable any program that you do not recognize.
    This will disable any unnecessary background programs and prevent to launch at startup.
    NOTE: you can still start programs even if they do not start at startup. For example, your favorite game is one of them, and you the disabled. Now, the game does not start at startup, but if you click on the game icon later, it will always start, except maybe a bit slower when it starts. Basically, you are delaying the start of programmes which does not need to start at startup, you move a part of the start-up BACK period. The only programs that you do not disable is programs that actually need to start (like if it starts your computer will blow or something similar).

    I can't find the FF in 10 Windows anywhere... I downloaded, refreshed, etc... but no visible icon on the desktop, the icon taskbar, dosen't show at "all apps".

    See if there is a Mozilla Firefox directory in C:\Program Files (x 86). If so and there are files in this directory, you should be able to reinstall Firefox without losing your preferences.

    Also, you should be able to run it by typing "Firefox" at a DOS command prompt. If it is running, then just create icons yourself.

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.
