  • Icons cannot be moved on the desktop

    I just changed my desktop image.  I noticed the trash moved to the side left (he was on the right side at the start) in line with my other icons.  When I try to drag the icon to the trash to another area on the desktop, it jumps to the left side.  What I've done wrong?

    It seems that "Auto arrange" has set in motion.

    Right-click on an empty space on your desktop, then:

    Organize the icons in-> uncheck "auto arrange".

    "Icons disappear or that you cannot move icons on the desktop".

    I uninstalled Google Chrome on computer Dell 1100 from my husband.  Shortcuts on the desktop then didn't work.  It seemed to me don't forget you must redo shortcuts after a restored system so I tried and the shortcut has not yet opened.  Then I did a system restore using 10/07/12 for the date of restoration.  After that there is now NOTHING on the screen/desktop other than her photo screen saver.  We followed the instructions found online to use the f8, keys, etc., and he has changed nothing.  Any other ideas?

  • the shortcut for the external drive icons do not appear on the desktop

    Running Windows 7 Home Premium.  None of the shortcut icons of the program (on my external hard drive) appear on the desktop.  Default icons took their place and launch the correct programs when you click it.  I tried to change individual icons in the correct program ones, but that they would not.  They all used to be there!

    I tried to reboot several times but that has not changed anything.

    The only program added or deleated recently was free archiver B1.  I uninstalled immediately after installing and do not actually use it.

    How to bring back the icons.

    Bill

    Hello Bill,

    Two possibilities come to mind. The first is that the program of the archiver to change icons, in which case you will need to reinstall the program, understand how the icons have been changed, reverse the process and then uninstall the program again. Phew. Its a lot of work, but I got a program do just this thing very to my car icons and it's the process that I had to follow to cancel his "practical work"!

    The other possibility is that his associates to make it an external drive, which is still not very good with Windows. Lets start with this possibility first. First of all, try this Fix It from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Windows_USB_diagnostics . Not fixed? Try this second difficulty: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/ . Still not fixed? Is the drive recognized by Windows - right disk size / type format?

    If the disc itself is not recognized by Windows, try this trick. Download and install the freeware Aomei Partition Assistant application, download it from here http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 - use the link Direct download only. Then once its installed, select the external hard drive, then select Properties. That's it, just by selecting the drive and choosing properties are sufficient to get Windows to recognize the drive.

    Now that the drive is recognized by Windows, has the problem of the icon "disappeared"? If the answer is still no, then I think you need to look at the program archive as a real possibility. The only way to know of course is to install the program again and look for a setting (try Configuration) where the program changes the icons of the programs.

    Post your results here and let me know how you fare.

    Kind regards
