• Icons do not appear on the desktop

  When I start my computer the colors of four windows are displayed.
  No images on the bottom or the other. I tried 'see' and 'display the icons', but it does not work
  I don't know what I am doing wrong because sometimes the icons after re-booting

  Start Firefox in Mode safe to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  To turn on safe mode

  • 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.
  • 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 it works in Mode safe mode and normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Modules > Extensions) off and then try to find which extension is the cause by allowing an extension at a time until the problem reappears.

  Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit ' (Windows: Firefox/file > quit;) Mac: ' Firefox > quit Firefox. " Linux: "Firefox/file > exit ')

• Start the list of all menu Programs - folder accidentally moved to the desktop

  I just got a new computer with Windows 7.  I accidentally dragged a folder in the "all programs" list in the start menu on the desktop.  I just wanted to create a shortcut, but accidentally moved the folder instead.  How do I restore the folder to the list of "all programs"?

  Hello

  That is not a problem and it is easy to retrieve.  You are going to want to go where the files and folders are stored in your Start menu and the best way to do this is to open your Start menu, go to all programs and on another folder with the right mouse button and choose explore.  This will put you in the location wherever the folders and shortcuts are stored.  From there, just move up a level and move the backrest to the workstation and you should be good.

  For more information, there are 2 folders that make up what you see in the menu start, a common (or public) and a private.  Both get merged to give a smooth.

  The common (public), one is to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program

  and the private sector, one is C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

  Files above are below hidden folders so you will need to first enable the option to view hidden folders and files, but the right click Explore method is the best way to get there anyway.

  Finally, if you want to create a shortcut to a folder on the start menu, find it and then right click and choose "send to".  Under this menu, you will see an option to create a shortcut on the desktop.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck & enjoy Windows 7

• 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

• Desktop icons do not appear on the desktop, and programs in the task bar screens are too small to read, what now?

  It's very frustrating to see the program I want to open the office toolbar but when I click it, the window opens so small I can't read and only shows when I hover over the icon in the toolbar.  Help please, what I do?

  Hi Wendy,.

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing.

  To create a shortcut on the desktop, follow these steps and check:

  (a) access the program, file, or folder that you want a shortcut to.
  (b) make a right click on the item you want the shortcut and select "send to", then
  "Desktop (create shortcut)".

  I suggest you for the link and check if that helps:
