• 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.

• How can I get specific programs and app icons appears in the form of shortcut icons on the desktop?

  Hello.  I have Windows Vista (boo) on my laptop.  In the past I've created shortcuts on the desktop for applications and programs and they inserted the icon on the desktop.  The only time wherever I got the generic icon, for example, document, spreadsheet, internet, etc. has been when I was creating a shortcut to a document, etc.  I know I can do a right-click on the shortcut and click on change icon but the options it gives me are more associated with a linked program systems.  Can you help me, please?

  Hi AdeleAnderson,

  If you do not have a program associated with a file, the shortcut will display only generic icons.

  For more information, you can consult the following article:

• Shortcut icons on the desktop/taskbar windows thumbnails prevent display after auto hide

  Ive noticed this part of the time in the decades long ongoing saga to get even the simplest parts of windows to work correctly, the taskbar is not reshow auto-hide is because there are some shortcut icons on the side of the taskbar are.  If I move my mouse over the lower part of the screen where there is currently not an icon appears, but if I'm smiling all the way to the side and there's a shortcut, the taskbar often will not see the.  If there is a fix let me know but mostly I write this information cause I wish windows could fix their software to work properly one day.

• How can I add missing icon to the desktop shortcuts

  Question too much techno for me... I have several desktop shortcut icons... For most of those who appear as the Mozilla Fox, which is fine, but unfortunately, there are too many icons in Firefox, and I wanted to change some REAL WEB SITE icon, or the favicon. How will I know how to do this? Thank you!

  It is not a matter of Firefox making it simple - the Windows operating system controls the desktop icons, so with 3rd party Windows applications automatically use the application for the shortcut icon, but it is possible to change the image of what you want.

  If you want the image of the Web site that the site to use for the URL bar as a shortcut on the desktop icon to a Web site:

  1. Define the shortcut on the desktop.
  2. Find and save the image you want to use for this shortcut.
  3. Then right click on that shortcut, then open properties > shortcut on the shortcut menu for the shortcut on the desktop, then use "change icon...". " and "Browse... ". " your hard drive for the image you want to use for the shortcut on the desktop.

  Insofar as find and save the Favicon of the site, see the screenshot below.

  1. Locate the icon on the Info Page > media tab and click on it once so it is highlighted, then view this picture in the preview window of media down and also check the Dimensions 32 x 32, if the image is not a picture of Type X-ICON.
  2. Then use the button Save under to save this image - name which has saved something unique, as (for example this forum) mozilla - favicon.ico image then you can tell him apart from any other favicon.ico image you may have saved or save.

  If you want to use your own choice of an image, you can convert the image into an image to favicon.ico here.

  When you create a favicon.ico for use as a desktop image, make sure that you select the option merge with a 32 x 32 desktop icon on this page.

• Programs for the shortcut icons on the desktop of the user different?

  My adult son and I are two Admins on what is basically a computer. I try to keep a very clean desktop so that I can easily find any new DOCS or IE shortcuts.
  We each have our own connections. He installed games with CD and when I connected and found new icons for its games on my desk, I deleted them. But then he told me that they had disappeared from HIS Office too, so we had to go out of the Recycle Bin.
  What is the only way that Windows XP work? I had always thought that each user has been mainly in charge of their own office, so it makes no sense to me.

  

  Everything you see on your screen is just a shortcut or icon of a folder on your system, and there is a folder on the desktop that applies to all users (everyone gets those) and another folder in the office that applies to all users for things that belong to them.

  When certain things are installed, they ask if you want the new program will be available for all users or just the current user (logged).

  If you install for all users, shortcuts and icons will settle in the all users desktop folder.

  If you install for just you, shortcuts and icons will settle in your desktop folder.

  What you see on your desktop, it's all desktop users folder and your desktop folder combined.

  What your adult son sees on his desk, is the all users desktop folder and its combined desktop folder.

  If you install and tell the facility to apply to all users, shortcuts and icons to put in the desktop folder for all users - everyone sees them.

  If the installed program shortcuts and icons in the all users desktop folder (and each user sees) and if you remove if from your office, you are also removing the all users desktop folder, then they are removed for everyone.

  What you see on your desktop being things just in a folder, you can navigate to your folder office and add/remove things from him, just like any other folder (and therefore cannot your adult son).

  If you have access to all the users desktop folder and add/remove things that will affect all the folder on the desktop.

  If your installed program does not require and has just put all the stuff in the all users desktop folder (so everyone sees them) and that you don't want to see such things, cut the shortcuts in the all users desktop folder and paste them into your grown son file and then only he will see them.

  Don't forget - what you see on your screen are just shortcuts and icons in a folder (s) that you can manipulate using including cut, copy, and paste.

  I have a Compaq Presario CQ5300F with windows 7.  The desktop icons began to refresh every minute.  How can I stop this?

  I have never so ranked.  I down loaded another stripper 'malware' (called Malware... something, something...)

  Hello, it is likely that there is an invalid extension installed on Firefox. Can you please try to start Firefox in Mode safe and then see if you experience the problem

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

  (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
  • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

  

  Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

  Thank you.
