• Cannot add icon on the desktop

  I just installed a program call CCCleaning using Download.com. After you install the software to clarify on any virus that I might have, I rebooted my computer. Once started all my icon on my desk right away. When I try to right click on my mouse, nothing appears. So what I did I pres Ctrl + Alt + Delete, the the window Task Manager appears. When I select the new task, I can pick a certain program it will open. BUT when I try to drag an icon on the desktop, it won't let me. Looks like they disable me to run any shortcut on the desktop. I can open all programs unless I open the Task Manager window and select new task.

  So, I would like to know what I did wrong? Can someone solve this for me?

  Thank you!

• Add icon on the desktop of the Windows 7 taskbar

  I just finished installing Windows 7 upgrade from Vista 32 bit.  On Vista, I had an icon in my taskbar to take me directly to the desktop.  I have not found a way to get this icon on Windows 7.  I don't want to have to do a right click on an open space in the taskbar and then click Show Desktop.  Previously, it was easy to copy pictures to my desktop simply by dragging them on the desktop icon in the taskbar.  I would like to be able to do it again.  Thank you

• Windows 7 - How can I get rid of an "All Control Panel items" icon on the desktop?

  Only, I've migrated to Vista Ultimate x 64 to Windows 7 Professional x 64.  I used Laplink to move all my users, programs, and settings.  Everything is great, except now there is an icon on the desktop for all my users that I can't get rid of - it connects to the control panel and is called "All Control Panel items" - it cannot be deleted or moved to the Recycle Bin. Make a right click on it brings up a menu with 'open' and 'create a shortcut' by dragging it to the trash does not delete it.

  If I am right cick on the desktop and add Control Panel to the items displayed on the desktop, a second control Panel icon appears with the same picture, but the text is just 'control panel '.

  I don't know there is a registry key that I have to remove or adjust but after a lot of research can't find anything.

  Open the Publisher of the registry (Regedit.exe) and navigate to:

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace]

  Backup the key by exporting to a REG file.

  Expand the branch above and delete the following subkey:

  {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
  (The above is the GUID for "All Control Panel items" Namespace)

  Similarly, to remove the entry here (if found)

  Although it is possible to remove the arrow, my recommendation is that
  you are not doing this. The arrows are an important
  function - provide quick visual identification of a shortcut. If you
  remove the arrows, you run the risk of substantial that sooner or later
  you delete something you want to keep, thinking that you were
  just remove a shortcut. I let the arrows that they are.

  Ken Blake (MS-MVP)

  According to me, there are situations that are valid for this.  I would like to remove the arrow from shortcuts on the desktop that I keep to certain folders.  I have file extensions on and do not keep the installers on the desktop, so I don't see the harm to remove the arrow of my shortcut 'Documents '.  I never think of Documents is actually stored on the desktop.  And if something, it only would make me more hesitant to delete a shortcut, no more likely to remove a real folder.  I plead to remove the arrow system, but it would be useful for specific desktop icons.  It's obviously the case, because Microsoft has decided to remove the arrow for "user files" folder is added through the control panel "Desktop Icon Settings".
