• Windows XP SP3: Unable to start, System Restore cannot drag and drop ALL the files/folders on the desktop and applications, many unable to start, services cannot search, cannot copy or transfer the any files folders...

  After a recent power outage, my system has restarted with a weird and very common Windows problems range. The system boots fine, all my personal files/folders/apps are intact, have suddenly stopped almost all functions of applications, but many crucial functions of the Windows kernel. Everything seems to point to several Windows Services are unable to start (administrative tools on the start menu). I am running Win XP SP3 and that he was going to upgrade to Windows 7, but I wanted to backup everything in advance. As I have 29 000 hours on my C: drive and a lot of time invested in my system, files, and applications, I am extremely reluctant to risk losing my files and applications by performing any type of reinstalling Windows. Strangely, begin to almost all my apps and all my files are accessible for the most part, but I've lost the ability to drag and drop files, folders or items in a list within the applications COMPLETELY. I can't copy or paste anything, can't move the desktop icons (although I can create new files and folders). So at the moment I can't save anything or even a single file transfer to a hard drive on another storage medium. Immediate reaction: try safe mode and try the system restore safe mode has the same problems (likely due to the large number of system services that inexplicably refuses to start) and the system restore says an error window saying "system restore is not able to protect your computer at this time. try restoring the system running and restart again", which of course NEVER changes. It's the equivalent of getting a tire on your car in the middle of nowhere to find the spare tire flat and the missing Jack. I have used to be fanatical about the definition of the regular restore points, but now can not access them. I have backups of most of my personal files, but over years have lost most of the original installation CD for many of my applications (there are over 100 applications on my system) and I don't want to lose the file associations and architecture of directory tree that it took my so long to implement. I started with Win XP media center edition of first (circa 2004 or almost) and have migrated twice more of 3 hard disks and 2 computers. All this time (5 years of daily use), I have NEVER known so many malfunctions for as many Windows basic and vital functions at the same time. I tried a lot of 3rd party "windows fix - it / registry repair" apps, all have no effect. Everything I can speculate is there was some serious damage to the registry and have no idea how/why so many Services refuse to start. In MMC, more than half of the services actually start and run, the rest all give the error message "the service or dependencies is not start (error 1068).» In addition, very oddly, no. APPS or windows appear in the toolbar AT ALL, but the Quick Launch toolbar works very well, just like the tray button and start tasks (?! )!). If I reduce a window, it "disappears" (Nothing on the task bar), but I can restore it using the alt - tab keyboard shortcut to switch apps, so all applications/windows appear on the list of the Task Manager. A few apps is paralyzed bad, as the player windows media, itunes, etc. (I guess because the service windows audio can not not start), some won't start at all, but 90% of them work fine, except to try to copy or back up all files. I can create new files, however. I'm desperate to find a solution to repair XP3 Win WITHOUT losing my installed applications and files, before I try and switch to WIndows 7. Any help/suggestions/links/advice would be much appreciated. I'm an experienced user, but I've never met so many malfunctions based on the OS at a time. I, however, very painfully learned (years before that my system so complex) it's been almost a re-installation of Windows guarantees to lose my installed apps and files, the directory tree architecture associations.

  Help, please!

  I'll be honest with you - your message is so difficult to read that I don't bother to go through all that. Next time consider using white space, ball or points numbered, etc. to make your message more readable. I stopped reading after your first sentence and only scanned the rest quickly. I do not mean to hurt your feelings; just trying to help you get targeted answers you need for the future.

  The blackout has corrupted your Windows installation. Back up your data now. Since you have problems so much, it would be probably best is to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB drive enclosure and attach it to another computer to copy the data OR start the target with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix system and copy the data to an external hard drive. IOW, do not use the damaged windows to try to get your data.

  You can try a repair that will leave your programs and facility data intact, but with this widespread bribery, it is unlikely to work. However, it takes only a few minutes and is so worth a try. If the repair facility does not work there is nothing to do, but a clean install. And Yes, it will mean that over again.

  Consider buying a UPS to help prevent future damage by power outages. For a single computer, you should look for one in the area of $60 to 80. A more expensive UPS is not necessary. Another good disaster recovery strategy is to buy an external hard drive and Acronis True Image. You can image your system (and can make an incremental backup image so that your image is still current). You can apply your image and be back running that you were in relatively few minutes after a hard drive or Windows to fail.

If this isn't the normal course, how can I solve have changed instantly icons?

  Thank you

  If you have tried to change the shortcut icon on the desktop, by parameters change icon, sometimes do it 2 - 3 times before that change selected icon.
  If this does not work, you can try changing the addition of your account under the tabs for security and parameters.
  If this is a common problem, you can change the security for the folder Desktop (C:\Users\Your account-utilisateur\Bureau), same procedure, parameters and security, add your account with full rights to the folder.
  If dinner you can use advanced security features, change of ownership, to your account and then add the account under approval. If possible change prior to the same owner or administrators.

  NB. Version not English this name for the tabs are perhaps not leave right.
  It worked in my case.
  Instead I lost my shortcuts, and remains mesh around in the corner, so I have to get through the annual versions and rearrange them. Quit often.

• Contents of My Documents to copy on the desktop

  Whenever I start, all the contents of My Documents have been copied to the desktop.  I have to keep deleting the folders on the desktop, that takes forever.  How this can happen?

  I just found the cause of the problem.

  I ran Malwarebytes, the scanner from Microsoft - nothing.

  Today, I had left the computer at night and went into account it is not when I reboot, it is once per day, without worrying.

  So on a hunch, I checked in scheduled tasks and program backup, AllWay Sync and found it was updated once / day back - up My Documents on the desktop.  I have no idea how that got the value, probably a mistake.  End of the problem.

• Everything is ' save on the desktop?

  32 Win7 Home Premium.

  Where and how can I disable "save to the desktop?

  I don't have MS Office but use MS Works and Notepad. Several files are created Notepad by analyzing the programs I needed to use.

  There is an icon of IE taking me to a Web site, I've been using a bit. There are photos and even folders on the desktop.

  How can I move everything back to Win Explorer and NOT save to the desktop more?

  Thank you

  Location for work or Notepad to default save is the location of the document libraries.

  And if creating a doc in any case, if you select file > Save as... you can navigate to the desired location and name it as required.

  Not quite sure what you mean by icon IE, unless you mean that you copied an address of IE on the desktop

  If you have a folder with pictures on the desktop, select the folder, click rt, navigate to the folder and navigate to the location of the pictures.

  Or if feeling brave, select file > cut... Start IE select photos, rt click the pictures folder, and then select Paste.

  Or move the folder office to the side of the screen, open IE, select images, resize the IE screen, then select the desktop folder and drag it to the folder images

• Win 7 network users cannot push the desktop files

  Hi - I have W7HPx64 on the table, and descendants both have Jason with W7HPx64.  Marcot on WLAN, the office is on ethernet.  I've set up a "home network", but establishing a "homegroup" appeared to leave me with a lot of side effects, so I went to the old-school working group I had on W2K Pro who never gave us difficulties.

  The problem is that after having shared folders on the desktop and on the Marcot, we can push/pull files to/from the Marcot, but the Manon can't push the files to the desktop.  They can specify good files.

  At the moment that I simply do not understand the configuration of permissions very complicated W7 inherited from XP.  I can not even find a 'group' for the hosts on the local network: to get any form of communication, everyone had to be set up as a 'user' so that we can log on to remote computers.  I'm also confused by a difference between 'share with... '. "in the context menu for folders and files (which is currently attached to"nobody"(I think) and properties > sharing.)

  Logon is not a problem.  Only by pushing the files on the desktop.  Please, can someone direct me to a place where W7 permissions/security/sharing is explained in words of one syllable or less?

  Gordon.

  Best regards, Kay

  Hi Karl,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  It appears from the description of the problem you are facing problems with shortcuts under Windows 7.

  This can happen if the resolution of the problems of maintaining the system detects the shortcuts as incorrect.

  The resolution of the problems of maintaining the system performs a weekly maintenance of the operating system. The resolution of the problems of Maintenance of the system automatically solves problems or reports problems through the Action Center. When there are more than four shortcuts broken on the desktop, the resolution of the problems of Maintenance of the system automatically deletes all shortcuts broken from the desktop.

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will definitely help you with this.
