• Shortcut on the desktop for Windows Defender

  Hello. I have Windows 7 starter on my netbook and want to create a shortcut on the desktop for Windows Defender. However, it does not appear as a program in the start menu and the option to display the control panel more big or small icons is greyed out (i.e., not available in starter edition), I don't see the program on the control panel or the other. The only way I can get to it is to type in 'Defender' in the search field in the start menu or the search field on the control panel. Although one of these actions will locate Windows Defender, they do not provide me the ability to create a shortcut for the application. I tried searching in Program Files on the C drive and found him, but did not know which file right-click on the folder to create a shortcut file. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it.

  Second, Windows Defender is updated analysis scheduled around 02:00 every morning, but my computer isn't on then, I expect to do a scan automatically the next day when I turned the computer back on. He did not do that and always displays the last analysis as being the manual I did the day before. Is it possible to get auto-start if it misses its slot 02,00 regular?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Thank you both for responding: I did click right and do drag the thing like that seemed simpler and it worked: thank you. Are you able to let me know how to get the Defender to make an auto scan when I turn on the computer if it misses its slot 02,00?

  Thank you.

• Problem of icons on the desktop with Windows 7

  The evening

  The icons on my desktop constantly changing arrangement. This seems to be a flaw in Windows 7 I saw several other posts on various forums all relate to the same question...

  My first thought was to contact MS and ask about this, but this idea was quickly put end when I discovered that they would charge me for this match (Yes, even it was involving an operating system 'fault' instead of asking me generic technical support!)

  Any ideas on a fix people? This bug is extremely irritating (for not to mention affecting a great many users!)

  See you soon!

  Brian,

  Check here:

  HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

  If the value doesn't exist or the value 0 and the problem persists, you can try to create a new user account and see if it works fine there.

• Icons from the desktop in Windows 8

  I tried what you suggested in this forum, but the icon just won't stay where I put them.  I looked at other forums also. Surely, there must be a simple/easy way to keep the icon where you want it on a screen touch 8.1 win computer. Are there any new suggestions or corrections?

  Thank you.

• 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. I know that you have a 2 new versions of windows to sell its been years that you have failed to address this simple question, but maybe one day I would actually feel that he still had to pay for a service of microsoft and not feel the need to mod all my Xbox and everything to get half broken services, software, and really bad customer service.

• 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)

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