  • Recycle bin icon disappears after emptying the Recycle Bin.

    When I emptied the trash, the trash disappears from my office. The 'Recycle Bin' words are still displayed on the desktop, and when I put the cursor on the location where the icon is supposed to be, the area still "hilights" as if the tray was still there.

    I do not use a custom icon. I use the default icon of bin recycle.

    I use Windows 7 Professional.

    When I restart the computer the trash comes back. I may be able to empty the trash several times before disappearing again, but eventually (usually within the first 5 times empty the trash), it disappears again.

    I realize that this isn't a huge problem, but it's more than a little embarrassing. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

    A test to determine if the problem is still present on your system.
    Second, have you tried to refresh your desktop when this occurs to determine if it brings your icon back without restarting?

  • Account seems disappeared after changing the MX record

    Hi, tried to mail.mailroute.net to Setup MX for spam filtering to my Adobe Catalyst account, but now impossible to find or connect to my e-mail account to Adobe Catalyst. Tried to change the MX back record once again, but still can not account for work. Looks like I have no account in the e-mail settings, but I don't want to add the old one back if it replaces the one I... Very odd behavior that change a MX record may produce loss of contact with those mail account. How can I get the account back up work quickly? Also, the account was rather full - buy more storage? Account [email protected]

    Thank you!

    It turns out you're screwed, if you change a DNS record without warning and they have no backups of what either. Adobe Business revelation would be a better name for their service...

  • Impossible to change the wallpaper in the linked Clone desktops

    Hello

    I have a weird problem with a client running Horizon view 6.0.1:

    In linked Clone desktops, we are unable to change the desktop background. We have created a new master without optimizations that I thought one of them already could be the problem (we removed the design etc. but just to get that optimizations).

    I can change the wallpaper in the master image without problems, but not in the deployed workstations. If I click on other models, I see more active design Aero, the colors change from window etc, but the background remains the standard image of blue windows ("harmony"). Even if I select the images from the Explorer, right-click, as wallpaper - no change.

    Anyone has the same problem and can lead to a solution?

    P.S.: We use management Persona. But I have already created a pool in an OU without management of Persona and still have the same problem.

    Best regards

    Thomas

    I saw something similar awhile back after running desktop optimization commands.   I found myself by opening a ticket with Microsoft and the following changes are what sets our questions.

    Reg load "hku\temp".
    «% USERPROFILE%\ \Default User\NTUSER.» DAT '.

    reg delete "hku\temp\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System".
    wallpaper / v

    reg unload "hku\temp."

  • HARD does not work after changing the disk partitions recovery media creator

    Hello world

    After installing windoows 8.1 April major upgrade (win 8.1 presents as OEM), and have shrunk C partition to create a data partition "D", "Troubleshooting" option under advanced start menu is no longer available.

    Toshiba Recovery Media Creator does not work, too (it can not find any hard disk recovery partion).
    I got in the OEM recovery partition.
    I am also able to create a recovery using the Windows tool unit.
    You have no idea about it?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    Sorry to hear about all this. Unfortunately, you now have a big problem. I don't understand why you didn't create support of recovery before you started to change the factory settings, including to change the structure of the partitions of HARD drive.

    Mobile offered with factory settings a structure specific partitions and recovery recorded image is saved on the partition of drive specific and marked with invisible markers. These markers are visible for preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator tool and when you start the tool can find points of reference and has full access to specific files.

    Unfortunately, after changing the original scores structure Toshiba tool cannot find these markers more and is not able to copy files from recovery media recovery. What you need now is the original recovery disk. Using this disk, you can install original recovery image and after doing this, you will have new factory settings.

    I know it sounds stupid now but you must order the original recovery disk and it can be done on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.
