  I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

• All icons on the desktop changed to display the logo of Word (W)

  Separated from this thread.

  My HP laptop running on Windows 7 Home Basic 64-Bit. I have Microsoft Essentials antivirus. All icons on the desktop has changed to display the logo of Word (W). When I try to open programs, they all open the new document page in Word with "File Conversion - explorer.exe" dialog box. This happened after I inserted a borrowed Memorystick. Why can't I clean my pc with Microsoft Essentials?

  Hi Kata'ntja,

  If you can access the internet in any way, If you use Windows 7, go to http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html. and run the program to restore the EXE and possibly LNK file associations. That should restore your programs.

  Good luck

• All icons on the desktop have turned to photo viewer and cannot open these programs

  I recently had my computer up to date. Everything was fine until I put my memory stick in the laptop and tried to download my back upwards. Now, when I turn the laptop on the icons does not load and are all stuck in photo viewer and I cannot open programs at all. Can anyone help please, thank you

  Original title: icons on the desktop

  I'm not 100% sure but I think that you are having a bad "file extension association. This is where the default program to open a file is incorrect. In the case of your office, these are all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) and the. LNK Association was by mistake coupled with Photo Viewer.

  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 you have selected the photo viewer (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 the Photo Viewer 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 the photo viewer and often use the icon Photo Viewer 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.

  You can get a copy of my OneDrive here. I used to send people elsewhere to download a copy, but this page is more in addition to confusion with misleading ads to download this and this computer of powders of snake oil "fixed".

  

  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.

• Remove all icons from the desktop. How can I restore them?

  somehow, I erased all my desktop icons.  How can I restore them?

  somehow, I erased all my desktop icons.  How can I restore them?

  You can restore them by right-clicking somewhere on your desktop, not taskbar... on your background screen... then go to customize and then click on "Change Desktop Icons" on the left bar then check the box for icons that you want to appear on your desktop, then click on apply, then ok...

  Then they should appear... If they haven't then click right on your desktop again then go to view, then make sure that "show desktop icons" are checked.

  The other missing shortcuts, you will need to create manually... If you need help then let me know...

• Display all icons on the desktop as a symbol of Internet Explorer icon

  Office documents/programs (Skype, browser choice) are all now showing white pages with simbol Explorer? Can directly open them, all that happens is a window opens "View downloads-Windows Internet Explorer" to open the program I have to right click and open the new tab to access the program. Can anyone help?

  It seems that your system may have been infected by malware; I had malware on my computer which has caused similar behavior, it will screw up the file associations and ensure that Windows does not know which application is related to the type of file or shortcut.

  You can try to start in Safe Mode and run a cleaning tool malicious software such as Microsoft Security Essentials or Malwarebytes to find and remove malware or other software bad things that could have caused this.

• Resolution of the image has changed after the calibration of the image

  Hi all

  I put my webcam resolution up to 1280 x 720, but after the Calibration of the Image, the video changed to 1364 x 730.

  This affects at the coordinate of filtering? It is very important in my application.

  BTW, Pattern Matching 4, there is an exit of matches (real world), how to give him information to translate from pixel in mm? Currently I use corresponding pixel and use a few calculations to translate correspondence in mm. And where is the origin of the actual coordinates? It is also in the upper left corner as pixel coordinates?

  Hello

  You can try using the "IMAQ convert Pixel to Real World VI" to transform the coordinates of the pixel to the real world coordinates.

  Best regards.

• The icon of firefox on the desktop and the taskbar has changed, how can I change this back.

  Recently, I installed firefox on another computer and doing other things, I then noticed that the icon in the taskbar had changed and when I tried to put the shortcut on the desktop, the icon that is displayed is a file folder. I want just the icon of firefox back.

  So far I've solved the problem by going into the properties on the icon in the task bar and the icon has changed, rebooted the computer and the icon in the taskbar has changed to what I wanted but the file on the desktop does not, but now I don't want that one, so deleted. Thank you very much for the support provided. At soon BlueWren

• shortcut icons on the desktop

  OK, it is not important, but the names of my shortcut icons on the desktop, suddenly changed - now I have white writing on a gray background.  How to change?

  You can use system restore to roll back the machine back to a point just before that the problem started.

  (Thanks to Alan Edwards for what follows, a search for "icons transparent alan edwards" will always find quickly and easily the solution).

  Four things are needed for the transparent icon backgrounds:

  1. Control Panel-System-Advanced-Performance settings.
  Check "Shadows fall to use the desktop icon labels" on the display
  Effects tab.

  2 - Click on Desktop - "arrange icons by" and ensure the lock Web
  items is disabled.

  3. transparency will not work if you have the web content on your desktop.
  Control panel - display properties Desktop tab - customize the Office-
  Web tab, clear all the check boxes.

  4. ensure that the wallpaper is an image file no HTML.
