• Show hidden/missing of the desktop icons

  original title: hide the desktop icons

  Hide the icons on desktop on Windows 7 seems a fairly common theme in these forums, but I still have to find a solution that works. The standard response is to right click on the desktop, click view, and then remove the checkmark "show desktop icons". To do this I have to go through the process, not once but twice. After signing and signature later back on I have to repeat this procedure. Tutorial Windows gives the impression that removing the "Show desktop icons" check will keep these icons are displayed until you handed the check mark. This isn't the case for me. Miss me how crucial link in this puzzle?

  Thank you very much.

  No matter how many new accounts are created, one of them must be considered with the administrator account and corruption is obviously attached to her.

  Incorrect answer.  You can have hundreds + administrator accounts.  There are still only * one * original built-in Administrator account.  If every account you create ends with this issue, then something is corrupt overall.  If the problem is only for a user account once you make them an administrator - I'd guess malware infestation can only be solved in the long term by a format and a new installation of the system and all of the affected software.

  When you create a new account - copy less.  Ignore the suggestion to Microsoft article.

  What you want to copy is: Desktop, Favorites and Documents on the Start Menu.  Leave everything else at the moment.

  Let me be as accurate as possible...

  If your old account user was named "GoodbyeDolly" and your new account is "HelloDolly", you will copy the following (after creating and logging into the new "HelloDolly" administrator-level account).

  Copy everything under:
  C:\Users\GoodbyeDolly\Favorites
  TO
  C:\Users\HelloDolly\Favorites

  Copy everything under:
  C:\Users\GoodbyeDolly\Desktop
  TO
  C:\Users\HelloDolly\Desktop

  Copy everything under:
  C:\Users\GoodbyeDolly\Documents
  TO
  C:\Users\HelloDolly\Documents

  Copy everything under:
  C:\Users\GoodbyeDolly\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
  TO
  C:\Users\HelloDolly\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

  Nothing else at this time.  NOTHING.  Not a single file.  Not a single setting.  Do nothing else for the new account in terms of trying to get stuff from the old account.

  You * will * need to configure your homepage (s) Internet.  You should know where your previously saved word, excel, and other office documents.  You must assign the account 'HelloDolly' his own password.  There may be dozens of other customizations that can be (will be) different for each user of a computer that you * will * have to do.  Wallpaper, computer sounds when you do certain things, the disposal of the office icons themselves, the order of the start menu, which is visible on the taskbar and how and when, etc.

  If your question is not more with this method - come back and let us know.

  Yes. This control simply allows you to show or hide. It does not change the contents of the desktop (C:\Users\\Desktop) user-defined folder. Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org
