  Have you checked or reset the screen resolution? - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-your-screen-resolution set it to the native resolution of the screen that you use.

  If your monitor is a separate monitor (not a laptop) has a button "auto configure"? If so press on that.

  It may be that you need to update your graphics card drivers. Get the latest available from the manufacturing of your PC web site and install them.

• How can I move web shortcuts on my desktop into folders on my desktop?

  I have too many shortcuts to Web sites on my desktop and I need to organize.  How can I move them into folders?  Many of them were placed on my desk by my organization and can not be deleted, so I would put them in folders and own things!

  Hello Rebecca,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

  According to the description, you need to organize and move the shortcuts to Web sites into folders on the system.

  Certainly, I understand your concern.

  I suggest you try the following steps to create a folder on the desktop.

  1. Right click on the taskbar at the bottom of your screen, and then clicking Show Desktop.
  2. Right-click in an open space on your desktop, click new, and then click folder.
  3. Type a name for the folder, and then press enter to complete the creation of your new folder on the desktop.
  4. You can move the folder to the desktop by clicking on the folder, and then drag it to the desired location.
  5. You can also rename a folder by right-clicking the folder, and then clicking Rename.

  Note: Once the folder is created, you can simply drag and drop shortcuts from the site on this particular issue.

  This border on the desktop icons can be created when the elements of the Office was locked, to unlock the desktop items web right click on an empty area of your desktop. Now, select arrange icons by and uncheck "Web Lock Desktop items" if she has a little check mark next to it. If you did not have a tick here and then right click on your my computer icon and view its properties, now click on the Advanced tab click the button settings running. Now on the Visual Effects tab scroll effects to 'use the shadows of the desktop icon labels' and put a tick in the box next to it, and then click ok.

• How can I remove for a standard user desktop icons

  OK, so I read a lot but can't seem to find an answer.

  What happens when I delete an icon it removes desktop admins too don't all tell you this:

  "The items that appear on the desktop can be stored in 2 different places.

  1. the elements of the C:\Users\your utilisateur\Bureau folder appear on that users desktop.

  2. the items in the folder C:\Users\Public\Desktop will appear on all users desktop. »

  and if it is in the public move to the admins so the standard can remove it, but I have no 'public' office in this area. And also when I go into the standard user's desktop folder there that google chrome, it shows not all others. So what I was I right click on the icons, I wanted to deleted off of the user's desktop standards and went to properties and saw that it was under "program files." Example, if my mom has an ipod and I don't, I'm perfectly happy with windows media player and I don't want the itunes icon there. Is it possible to remove the icon itunes the Office off a standard user without him deleting admins Office

  It's really frustrating, and it's not just itunes I want to disable other programs there. I know that I can choose the option to not show the desktop icons, but I want some, but don't want any other.
  I hope this feeling quite: S

  Sorry guys, I just worked it :D
  I heard it was hidden in windows 7 so I thought well... that could happen with vista too? but I couldn't find anything. so I checked again after properties (instead to go on the shortcut tab, I click on details and it said C:\Users\Public\Desktop, but of course I couldn't see him so I copied and pasted into the small bar (I suppose that as the url bar) and I arrived!

  I ME FEEL SO DUMB, SORRY FOR WASTING YOUR TIME

• How can I remove the homegroup to my desktop icon?

  How can I remove the homegroup icon that suddenly appeared on my desktop Windows 8

  I know and respect the fact that Sharief K is a Microsoft Support Engineer. but he doesn't know what he's talking about as a Microsoft Support engineer or he didn't understand the question.

  However, here's how to solve the problem in the right way...

  Question about this community newsletter is:

  (Windows 8) How can I remove the 'host group icon"from the desktop?

  Answer:

  1 right-click somewhere on the desktop that is free of icon/s with the left button of the mouse.
  Select "Customize" in the context menu, which will take you to the selection of window customize.

  2. Select "Change desktop icons" in the area of the hand at the top left of this window.  A "Change desktop icons" dialog (context menu) is displayed.

  3. Note the box on the left of the 'network' is checked.  Uncheck the box and then left click of the mouse will apply.

  4. at this point, the 'host group icon"will be removed from the desktop.  Now again check the box to the left of the 'Network' and then the mouse left click apply.

  And your all set.  That is of course until what you restart your computer, in which case this problem will happen again.  Gives one does not want to restart its system ever if you have Windows 8.

  On a more personal note, I am A +, Network +, MCP and a Bachelor's degree in electronic engineering technology and experienced Microsoft since 1992 when I always still served in the U.S. Army.  Sorry, but I am appalled and disgusted with the OS of Windows 8 not to mention Microsoft Office.

• How can I stabilize the location of my desktop icons in windows 8

  I work from the office, virtually 100% of the time and I put on 10 desktop icons with applications that I use constantly.  I kind of want to stay in the same place, but it is still moving around the screen.  I have "auto arrange" disabled.  I use a lot is the program, so I'll have office up on most of my screen and side window has messenger.

  Every day that I start, my icons have moved around the screen, those that I placed horizontally on the lower right part of the screen end generally vertically aligned with the top left corner.

  I look for other matching, but have not found work from the search results.

  Any help would be appreciated, I would just be able to lock them in one place.

  If you use the component feature snap to snap a desktop application rather than on the side of the screen, the desktop itself will get resized to a new physical pixel size, and the icons will be move accordingly (so they are not hidden off the screen and will not you).  The effect is as if the resolution of the monitor has been changed (users who use projectors / TV, or other monitors frequently see this problem of "move icon", so you're not alone).

  Unfortunately there is not much that can be done directly to solve this problem, at least not by default.  There are programs such as the great "closed Desktop" that the company StarDock product that help corral and group desktop icons.

  Another option could be to pin your icons in your taskbar instead.

• Flash/Zoom works - how can I recover the shortcuts?

  Hello

  It happened to me to remove the "Toshiba" folder in the Start Menu: file is displayed twice in the Start - Menu I click right and press 'remove' - all two has disappeared... :(

  Now, I thought that only the shortcuts have been removed, but I am not able to recover. Most of the Fn functions no longer works. Programs such as the wizard and Product Information was easy to find, but for example the program Flash/Zoom seems to have completely disappeared. Strange. I tried to download the drivers of 'Value added' new, but everything remains the same.

  Can anyone help with this?

  Thanks in advance!

  Kind regards

  Bjarte,

  Hi Fabio

  I'm not 100% sure but I think it should be there again after the installation of VAP.
  So remove the system pre-installed version, restart your computer and install the latest version of the Toshiba download page.

• How can I change the size of the desktop icons

  PC HP TouchSmart 520

  Windows 7 64 bit

  I can't change the size of the icons by right-clicking on the desktop.  There is no 'view' to change.  I have four items that appear; Graffiti, background, settings and Office Windows that changes the appearance of the office and did not have the carousel.

  It sounds like what you have on your screen is HP Magic Canvas and not Windows Desktop.

  Then, right click and select "Desktop Windows" to return to the real desktop. Then, if you want you can right click again and resize stuff.
