• Strange "ghost" icons that cannot be manipulated in the Games folder.

  In the Games folder, when I try to delete a shortcut in there, I often get a strange icon which can not be deleted, move, read properties, click right, etc. Hard to explain so linked an image of the window here:

  http://I132.Photobucket.com/albums/Q25/satsum/gamesfolder.jpg

  The icons in question are for Alien Swarm, Civ V and torchlight.

  Can someone help me get rid of these icons?

  Edit: Also went to %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games and removed the shortcuts. No change. It should also be noted that all 3 of these listed shortcuts have been downloaded steam.
  

  

  Hi, Chris T,.

  1. have you tried to remove the icon of the game, safe mode?

  First check if you can remove the icon of the game in safe mode.

  If the previous step fails then suggest you scan the computer for any malware or virus infection.

  The scan below only works on the 32-bit version of Windows

• Message for the new Smartphones blackBerry Email icon shows without a new e-mail

  I tried all the steps listed in this thread http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Curve-BlackBerry-8300/ghost-icon/td-p/405049

  Given that the OP has solved its problem, I thought that I needed to start my own thread.

  I have a new E-mail notification icon on my home screen that says I have 1 new e-mail.  I followed all the tips listed in the thread above with no success.  This happened last week just after the blackberry network problem. Ironically when she appeared, I didn't have a new email.  I took the battery out and restarted several times, no luck.  Did the search of unopened emails and not luck.

  Any ideas?  I know that it is an icon of e-mail as the number grows when in fact I get a new email.  After reading all the emails the icon always shows 1.

  Tips to clear the message unread... try them in the order. (I know will say you that you have done all this... but).

  If you have a new icon rogue Message on your home screen, or a negative number (-1), one of these solutions could erase or reset:

  Try these options:
  * Hard Reset BlackBerry now ALT CAP (right Shift key) and DEL (or with the BlackBerry power, remove the battery and reinsert the battery)
  Messages > saved Messages
  Messages > view folders, check each folder (calls, SMS and MMS, and boxes, saved missed boxes, browser, phone logs etc.)
  * Scroll at the top of the folder, on the title menu, click or tap to MARK PRIOR OPEN date
  Change your theme and see if it persists and return to your desired theme. (Options > theme > select.)
  * Clean and reload your OS.

• *.psd file icons displayed does not correctly after the CC 2014 update

  I just installed the new version of 2014 of some applications like Photoshop, Illustrator Adobe, InDesign and so on.

  The only problem was caused by Photoshop.

  First of all, all my default manager lost *.psd files, they were empty and no software was set to open.

  And then when I chose 2014 CC Photoshop as Manager default *.psd THIS happened:

  http://i.imgur.com/iFv9ngR.PNG

  as you can see the icon of the illustrator file is normal, but the *.psd file looks like Photoshop.exe icon and not the *.psd file icon.

  any ideas how to fix? (already tried to empty the cache icon)

  OS: Win 8.1 Pro WMC Update 1 (just making it clear if anyway, it makes a difference)

  I had this problem since CC came out last year and I came across a solution yesterday (finally!)

  This implies external Download program 3rd party, but now I have the correct icons, so I'm pretty happy.

  Here's what I did, if it helps:

  (1) download Default Programs editor this link here.

  2) once you have extracted the .zip file open the .exe and we go.

  (3) this is the first screen, you get...

  

  4) click on the first item "File Type settings" and you get this:

  

  5) click on 'icon '.

  (6) for this example I'll change a file, InDesign icon as I already fixed the Photoshop those. An excerpt from the next screen with the white ghost icon InDesign and yes it works if you have the icon default .exe showing instead of a blank white icon.

  

  7) type in the search box the file extension, you need. In this case because I'm changing the InDesign file I want it to be .indd but you can use for Photoshop .psd or .ai to Illustrator etc etc.

  

  (8) now, the program will ask what icon you want. What you need to do is click Browse and browse to the location of the default for the program .exe you change who will be in the folder Program Files. In this case my location is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC 2014\InDesign.exe

  Once you open that default Programs editor will show the full icon set for this program, as you can see below.

  

  (9) simply select the one you want and click OK. Click the arrow next to the Save icon, and then choose Save in the registry and then BINGO!

  (10) GLANCE! He has worked.

  

  Just need to sort all my other out now, but he receives a helping hand to the top of me!

• Message "unread" icon for the ghost of blackBerry Smartphones

  I have a stray 'closed' mail icon, it was on my old BlackBerry (an 8830) and when I got my new BlackBerry 9650, all was good, until I finished syncing my business and guess what's back? now here's the catch, it shows (and as he has done before) it's an email "Optimum we Line", not the enamel that is pushed by the server of my company. If there is no technical support will be the problem.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you

  Serum

  While in the application Messages, press menu and go to 'View the Messages saved.'  Is there an email unread in there?  If not, do the same thing and go to the "view folder" and check out all the different records.

• Icon of ghost of blackBerry Smartphones

  Since the failure of yesterday, my phone says I have an electronic mail message, but when I search through this list of email, there is no new emails unread.  I sent and received other emails fine.  Tried turning the phone market and "priming" by removing the battery.  Why he says I have an unread email that I don't have?

  Fixed!  I was playing around and hit various things, found "Saved messages" and a message 'not open' I thought was deleted but phone thought that she had not.  Maybe my mistake but occurred at the time of system glitch this week, so who knows.

  Thanks for all the help.

  Hello Brent Spore.

  Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how it is important to keep your Mac running properly, and I want to help him.  Whenever we see the behavior as what you described, it is a good idea to test the symptoms in a separate user in safe mode. This will help us determine if the remanence of the icon is linked to a problem with the user account or if it's a question broad system. The articles below will guide you through these steps.

  How to test a question in another account on your Mac.

  Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

  If the ghost still occurs in safe mode, then we know it is a question broad system and I would recommend backup your Mac and Mac OS re-install using recovery, as described in the articles below:
