• Windows 7 icons on the desktop and start changed to dat file

  Original title: Windows 7 icons on the desktop and Start Menu problems

  I am running Windows 7 Pro with service pack 1 and all the icons on the desktop Start Menu has changed into something that resembles a dat file and when you click on it, they are trying to run a download would be and asks where I want to save them. Symantec Endpoint, Microsoft Security Essentials, or AVG will find viruses or problems with the computer. I spoke with the technology of Windows and he sent me the link to this page.
  I've never seen anything like this.

  Hello

  It can be disappointing when all the icons on the desktop and Menu start modified in a dat file. I understand the inconvenience.

  You can try to rebuild the icon cache and check if it works properly.

  Click Start, click Control Panel, and write in the box search folders options.
  b. now, click on Folder Options to open and select folders and hidden files (dot).
  c. open a Windows Explorer window.
  d. go to C:\Users\(User Name) \AppData\Local
  e. right click on IconCache.db and click on delete.
  f. click Yes to confirm the deletion.
  NOTE: This deletes the file to the trash. It is safe to empty the trash when you are done.
  g. close the window.
  h. emptying the trash.
  i. restart the computer.
  j. When you come back, you will notice the size of the file IconCache.db is reduced, and the update is now the current date.
  NOTE: If for some reason, IconCache.db isn't there or the size has not changed, then you can just restart the computer again. You may need to restart a few times in some cases.
  k. icon cache will be rebuilt.

  Hope it solves the problem. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.

• Can I remove install.exe icons on the desktop without software uninstalling itself?

  I downloaded an .exe file driver and software and 3 updates on the HP site for my HP printer that I just installed. I installed all 4 downloads that I placed on my desk and the printer works fine.  My question now is to remove these .exe icons in my office without it uninstall the software or do I have to make a case for them and send them the file and keep them there?

  Of course, you can, this will not affect the printer. But I do not recommend to keep it somewhere as a backup to re - install.

• All icons on the desktop changed to display the logo of Word (W)

  Separated from this thread.

  My HP laptop running on Windows 7 Home Basic 64-Bit. I have Microsoft Essentials antivirus. All icons on the desktop has changed to display the logo of Word (W). When I try to open programs, they all open the new document page in Word with "File Conversion - explorer.exe" dialog box. This happened after I inserted a borrowed Memorystick. Why can't I clean my pc with Microsoft Essentials?

  Hi Kata'ntja,

  If you can access the internet in any way, If you use Windows 7, go to http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html. and run the program to restore the EXE and possibly LNK file associations. That should restore your programs.

  Good luck

  A simple change of name should do the trick, unless of course you use a utility that blocks the efforts.

• How can I change the appearance of the police to identify the icons on the desktop?

  I added a file of the photo (jpg) on the desktop of my images, and when I returned the text under the icons on the desktop now has a black box around it.  They still work, but I want the ordinary police white with black back shadow!

  Hello

  Please continue with the following steps to support...

  I'm sure that you run on color 32 bits, so change to 16 bit and apply (the black boxes should be gone). Restart your computer and then change back to 32-bit. You must restart, otherwise if change you it to 32 bits, the boxes will come back.

• New investment of Vista icon on the desktop

  My Vista desktop is set to show medium icons, with autoarrange and snap to grid.  Whenever I have create a new icon on the desktop (i.e. save a file it), it seems just under the computer icon in the upper left corner.  However, I keep a number of icons on my desktop, so it moves all other icons to the bottom and to the right.

  In Windows XP, all the new icons would be automatically placed to the "end" (in bottom right) of all the icons already on the desk.  Is it possible to get Vista to do the same?

  It's just more convenient to always have the old icons in the expected location and new appear on the "end" of the list.

  Thank you.

  Open your office in Explorer and sort by date descending. You must use the setting in Folder Options to allow the records to be kept their own settings.
