• Desktop icons disappear over and over again

  Whenever I turn on my laptop (I have Vista 64) my desktop icons are invisible. I have to right-click, select this option to make the invisible icons (even if they are already), and then repeat the process to choose to make visible again. After that, they reappear and are normal, but sometimes they disappear periodically while the laptop is as well. How can I fix it?

  Was there a time when you did NOT have this problem?
  If Yes, how long?
  If it was not more than 10-15 days ago, you can do a system restore. Choose a date where you did not have this problem as you restore point. Here is the tutorial, where you need:

• Missing desktop icons, system restore only a temporary fix

  Hi all, hope someone can help.  The shortcut on my desktop icons disappeared over the weekend.  Ran a system restore and they returned with the exception of the trash to recycle, thought that I could live with that.  After a time I keep the laptop, returned the next day and they all went again.  Ran to an older date system restore, they came back, but when I re - start they're all going again.  Checked the box 'show desktop' and it works in the bar side and summer menu control panel "taskbar and start to" all the boxes checked.  Have tried to re - define shortcuts, process works very well but the system usually show them.  Interestingly, the laptop starts, icons flash me momentarily, but don't show in fact once the system is clean awake.

  Ideas please
  Thank you

• My of .exe desktop icons are now. Can ink file, anyone help to get rid of it?

  Hello

  I started a game in the start menu, but he asked the program where to open.
  I chose the right .exe
  Then, all the desktop icons that are .exe are now. Of ink file and opens with this game, and then the error flashes that it cannot be opened.
  I use Windows 7 64-bit.
  From what you have stated above, I think that the file association for LNK files has been given misdirection to the MyGame.exe. I've seen this happen when opening a program via a shortcut (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After selecting the MyGame.exe (or another program) via the Select a program from a list of programs installedand check always use the selected program to open this type of file (circled in red below), the document or program referenced by the shortcut of origin opens in MyGame.exe as it should.

  The problem is that now all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) on the desktop or in the Explorer will want to be opened by MyGame.exe and use icon MyGame.exe to display the shortcut no matter what shortcut was originally intentioned to open. This is known as a file association and the default icon. The same condition can occur if you have performed these actions 'Open with' on one. JPG or even a. EXE, but the. LNK explanation is much more likely for the items on the desktop.

  The good news is that a small free utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is also a registry hack to achieve, but I recommend the utility unAssoc for its ease of use. I used to send people on another site to download this utility, but this site has become confused with all the ads and fake download links. I put a copy on my SkyDrive here.

  

  Just download, then use the utility to unassociate the. LNK files for the user or globally delete the file type and let windows rebuild a new default.

• Why, suddenly, my desktop icons are difficult to align because they can be moved very small distances?

  For years, my desktop icons have acted as if they have so many 'slots' to enter in on the office. But this has never been a problem. They were easier to align because they were right next to each other, or a 'slot' above/below/apart.

  Now, for some reason, I can travel distances of small icons on the desktop, as if they were scalar elements which can be minimally pushed open. Suddenly there are not more "slots", and sort of paradoxically icons are more difficult to assemble and align because I have to keep their repositioning so that they are straight. Before, they were either straight, or a whole notch offline.

  It is NOT correct. Right-click and select Show , and then turn on Align

• Windows7 64 bit. Why the desktop icons all be empty when you run Firefox nightly for the first time?

  Every time after I get a Firefox Nightly update and run it, it will display the next page:
  https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/nightly/firstrun/?oldversion=30.0 which is fine.
  But when it opens this page, all my desktop icons go clear/white and one by one, they all return with their correct icons. And all this happens in a few seconds.
  Why is the operation of Firefox every night for the first time, my desktop icons?

  I suspect that you have both nightly and Firefox version installed?

  "The Firefox 'about' shows 30.0. and I've now checked for updates and are now running 33.1.1"
  

  It's different from what you have first published here with!
  Firefox 33.1.1 represents the latest version - a 32-bit version.

  Whereas, the version you first posted here with was a generation of 64-bit channel every night from July. Every night is for "Alpha-testers" and is updated every day, where the name of "night".

  Everything that happens in the background on the Windows desktop should not be of concern right now, every night Win 64 bit is several months out.
  If you really want to test the Win 64 Nightly builds, follow and participate in the very different evenings and son of 'channels' on MozillaZine forum is based.

• hide the desktop icons

  I am running Yosemite 10.10.5... When I share my screen with others, I want to hide my desktop icons. I used to have an option called "Show items on desktop" I unchecked when I right click on my desktop... How to re - activate this option/icon... or how do we do now? Thank you in advance.

  I guess that you don't want an AppleScript object parked on your desktop or Dock that someone could run to display the icons on your desktop.

• 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.

• How can I get my desktop icon back scanner

  I have Windows 7 computer desktop and printer HP Officejet 4500 G510g, somehow, I lost my desktop icon that I use to scan documents.  How can I get it back?

  gnuma

  Hi, Sean

  I'm happy to announce that I now have my scanner to work.  I did as you suggested but I couldn't find an HPOfficejet file in the HP folder I found a bin folder in the folder of imagery but not scan.exe, but there was no scan file.exe inside.

  In any case, I have reinstalled the driver full features which I installed with the default settings.  When I got through everything that was there was the icon on my desktop solution Center.

  I did a scan and everything works fine.

  Thank you for everything.

  Sean, I've looked everywhere on the answer and could not find a bkutton "Bravo."

• How can I get rid of my desktop icon after installing Firefox 8.0.1?

  How can I get rid of my desktop icon after installing Firefox 8.0.1?

  Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.
  Open the image (DMG) disk Firefox with a double-click if necessary file and drag the Firefox program folder of the application on your hard drive.
  You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead.
