How to remove the desktop icon after you have uninstalled program.

I uninstalled a program and then tried to put the icon on the desktop to the trash.  I get an error message that says that the program cannot be found and try again.  How can I get rid of the icon?

Hello

Reboot and see if the icon is still there. If so, try the following:

Go to control panel/Folder Options, view tab, set the options so that you can see the hidden files and folders and show protected operating system files. You should now be able to see a desktop desktop.ini file. Delete and restart. See if that helps.

    Tried Google but people just kept saying that you should have no option if you followed the steps correctly but I don't have really no option to get rid of the billing address and I can't download anything

    There is normally some hoops, you can pass through that you create your iTunes account this work around the need for a map, otherwise once the account is set up iTunes can wait allows you to provide one, you can delete it later. If you do not have or use a credit card or debit at this time, you can try this method using iTunes on a computer...

    1. Activate the menu bar if necessary with Ctrl + B (applies to Windows only)
    2. Sign out of the iTunes Store in the menu from the account/Store bar
    3. Go to the iTunes Store homepage
    4. Go to quick links > redeem
    5. Sign in with your Apple ID.
    6. Go through the screens, accepting the EULA, etc..  You should get a payment review screen when one of the options is None - Select this option and continue. You shouldn't actually need to buy a new check/card.

    It is worth noting that one of the functions of recording is to prove that you have a valid billing address in the region which store you want to use.

  • Help! I lost my association PDF & icon after you have uninstalled DC

    Hi ...... I am running Windows 7-64 bit...  I need help! ...


    03/22/16, I welcomed Adobe update my player (Adobe Acrobat XI). After the update, I had Adobe Acrobat DC.

    Unfortunately, Acrobat DC has not worked for me (I was in the middle of editing a document with RED "BOLD" lettering and Acrobat DC offered no bold or different colored fonts).

    03/23/16 I uninstalled Acrobat DC and installed Acrobat 11 (AdbeRdr11010_en_US.exe) from the Adobe download page. Now, for the past 2 days, I tried to re - ASSOCIATE my PDF with Adobe Reader files.

    When I double click to open a PDF document windows "open with" window opens. No matter how many times I check the "always use the selected program to open this kind of the file ', he keeps.

    Untitled.jpg

    So far I have tried:

    1. set the default program - program associated with the player (see photo)

    2. opening a pdf document > edit > Preferences > select Default Handler of PDF > Adobe Reader XI (11.0.15) > apply (see photo)

    3. I wanted to make some registry changes, but I have another computer that is the exact copy of the problematic computer and I compared the records; they were different.

    For example: when the good computer reads "AcroExch.Document.11". the bad computer reads "AcroRd32.exe"... So I decided to let alone records.

    4. I tried to throw the "IconCache.db' (I used the regular procedure)

    5 uninstall and reinstall Acrobat 11 (AdbeRdr11010_en_US.exe)


    Nothing worked! Finally, I decided to uncheck 'Hide extensions of known files', while I acknowledge my PDFs.

    I think that Adobe Acrobat DC took something that allowed simple binding. Please help me!


    Thank you

  • Could not open the CS6 applications after you have uninstalled creative cloud - MAC

    I'm having a problem my applications CS6 to open after canceling the creative cloud. Legally, I brought and paid CS6 suite in 2013 or 2014, I think, that has worked well. I recently attended the University, which required for me to get the license of creative cloud of 1 year. This license has expired there is, at this time I deleted and removed creative cloud of my laptop and came back to the CS6 about 2 or 3 months. So far, I had no issues or problems. I get an error that appears when I try to open one of my apps CS6 saying I need to renew my subscription creative cloud. I tried to use the tool to download creative cloud, and whenever I use the tool, it says done but with errors. I've searched the forums and I tried some of the suggestions but nothing seems to work for me. I think that since I didn't renew my subscription, I can't call Adobe technical support for assistance. I'm ready to post videos and screenshots if that's helpful. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you!

  • How to lock the desktop icons in a multiple monitor configuration

    Original title: lock the desktop icons - and display

    Working with Windows 7 Home Premium has a problem processing 2 pieces: no matter how many times I said I want the display screen appears on the monitor, the screen of the computer, every day he arbitrarily returns to the computer screen only. That creates the 2nd problem: the desktop icons that I have arranged for the largest monitor rearrange themselves to adapt to the computer screen. Is there a way I can lock the icons in this position that I used to be able to do? Or is it possible that I can keep the display to go back to the computer screen? (I'm careful to apply the instructions to display before the specified seconds elapse).

     

    Hello

    I suggest you to go through the steps mentioned in the link and the Coachman.

    On a system running Microsoft Windows 7, the desktop icons can be moved to positions at random during another monitor main screen.

  • KB955759 does not appear when I check the updates manually, but it appears with the yellow shield after you have enabled the automatic updates.

    original title: Windows Update acts confused - kb955759 does not appear when I check the updates manually, but it appears with the yellow shield after you have enabled the automatic updates.

    I just reset my CMOS settings, writing zeros for my hard drive, repartitioned, reformatted and used the recovery cd Gateway system to get my computer to Windows 98se - factory settings, except at the beginning of the recovery of the system, when it says "press any key for advanced options," I pressed a key and then I unchecked all the default (3rd party) applications including Norton and left only 2 checked: "Updated USB Hub" and "Windows Shutdown Supplement," while nothing has been installed, leaving only win98.
     
    Then I used my disc XP Home (SP2) update.  I, immediately after the upgrade to Windows XP, installed "Office XP with Frontpage, Developer Edition", then Norton 2012 before never connect to the internet.
    Then, I connected to the internet and continuously update of Norton, before ever hitting the Windows Update page. The first thing I did then was to activate Windows, and then activate the office.
    Then I hit the update of Windows "button" that says "get all your updates in one place... upgraded"Microsoft Update".  I, then, just kept hitting the page update and restart, until I find the SP3.  Then, I took a break, until the next day.
     
    I have an ADSL broadband, with a Linksys EtherFast PCI card.
     
    Then I got SP3, which installed without any problems.
    So I just kept "microsoft continuous update" manually (and reboot), until there is no more updates - EXCEPT, I always uncheck Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - which was the only screening at the final stop for the night.  I think that I ticked the box "don't ask me about this update".
     
    Then, in the morning, after you have enabled automatic updates, I noticed the yellow shield - Windows security icon (or whatever it's called), so I clicked on it and checked it was tellimg me was available [when I checked "Custom Install (advanced users)"].  What showed was 1 update - 955759 KB.
     
    After the problem, already at the reformat (months and months), see the yellow shield telling me there are updates available, which were already installed (before rebooting), I checked manually on the internet with IE 8, pressing alt, "T", "U".  There is no updated list.  Then I checked through my history of update (twice), and KB955759 had not been installed.
     
    My update setting is to let windows download ('important') updates, but let me choose when to install them.
     
     
     
    What is the right - Windows Update (NO update important reporting) Site, or the yellow shield (reports [a] kb955759 [update])?
     
    I can not yet confirm he is supposed to be an update for XP home kb955759, because I was unable to locate any detailed documentation on this 'thing' that protect the yellow safety seems to think is a significant update.

    Comment 1: To my rquest, a moderator merged your thread in the Sub-forum Win7 updates with your wire in the Sub-forum of updates of Windows XP 20 Feb-12, c. 07:50 UTC.

    Comment 2: If you will not contact the MS Support on this issue?

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Just for the heck of it, I have disabled the automatic updates, cleared my browser cache, checked manually, updates from microsoft (windows) and found none (with the exception of software malware removal tool windows [which I have not installed]).  Then, I turned the automatic updates on, and without even being connected to the internet, the yellow shield popped up with the kb955759 "update"...

    Repost...

    1. If you open Internet Explore (only!) to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and run a CUSTOM scan, KB955759 appears in results?... If so, you manage to install it and/or security updates available?

    2 after no. 1 above [<>], is the 'yellow shield' icon appears in the Notification area (on the left of your clock)?  .. and if yes, by clicking on the 'yellow shield' icon tells you that KB955759 or any other updates is ready-to-be-installed?  .. .and if so, you manage to install it?

    3 after doing 1 # & #2 above [<>], is KB955759 or any other updates offered as a ready-to-install update when you go off your computer?  .. .and if so, you manage to install it?

    ... I guess that clearing the browser cache does not erase 'downloaded' updates.

    Nope. If you want to clear the queue of the update...

    OPTION A:

    1. stop the automatic updates service:

    Start > run > (type or copy/paste) services.msc > click OK
    Double-click automatic updates > click stop
    (Stopping the service will take a moment)

    2 remove the contents of the download folder:

    Start > run > (type or copy/paste) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > click OK

    Open the download folder and delete its content
    Close the window.

    3. start the automatic updates service:

    Start > run > (type or copy/paste) services.msc > click OK
    Double-click automatic updates > click Start
    (Starting the service will take a moment)

    OPTION B:

    1. open Internet Explorer (only!) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336 [don't know the titles, etc..]

    2. make disappear/close the Troubleshooter automatically pop up.

    I guess I'll have to leave "auto-update" (I often have less than 65 M of free memory left and do not have enough memory to msrt) and don't assume no other current error. [source; 17 Aug-11]

    Hi fernandomventura,

    Step 1: Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...) Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

    If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.  Then get any drivers\software update for the device.
