• My desktop icons and system tray icons are missing!

  It seemed as if an adobe program trying to install an update, and I cancelled it. All of a sudden all my files/desktop icons were missing. If I go to my folder on the desktop, they do not always, show however, if I search for a specific file name I remember from my old desktop files, it will search, still saying its in the desktop folder... What is the problem?  My option for show desktop icons is checked and tried to re - sort icons by grid, etc. Changed the size too. There is an icon that doesn't disappear and it's Internet Explorer.  Help!

  Hi LuvlyLisaLou,

  1. what adobe update was trying to install?

  2. you receive messages or error codes?

  Step 1:

  You can try to run a SFC scan and check.

  This problem may occur if a system file is missing or damaged.

  You can refer to the method-the System File Checker tool in the following article:

  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Step 2:

  If you're still having problems, then you can try a system restore to a restore point that you knew the question...

  Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:

• wireless system tray icon disappears when the wired connection is present

  When I plug in ethernet, the wireless icon disappears in the system tray.  Sometimes I connect to a Wi - Fi, and at the same time.

  Is there a way to make it stay put?

  Hello

  It is not possible to show the two notification icons when you connect to a Wi - Fi network and at the same time in the system tray.

  When you connect to a wired connection, it will display the wired connection icon and if you connect to the internet wireless, it will display an icon of wireless connection. Both will appear in the same time.

  However if you have connected both cables and wireless Internet, it will show you one of the two icons based on the priority that you have set.

  We can change the priority of the network connections and make them follow an order of desired connection. You can make Windows 8 use wired connection instead of wireless. When you start your laptop, if there is a wireless connection, your Windows laptop will connect to the Wi - Fi connection. Even if you connect to a wired connection, usage will continue to be the Wi - Fi connection. This is because, when more than one network connection is available, Windows uses the one with the lowest metric value.

  To change the priority of network connection, follow the steps.

  a. press the Windows key + C.

  b. Select Search and then type network connections.

  c. now, click the ALT key to open the convening of Menu bar. Click on advanced settings. This will open the properties box.

  d. under the tab cards and links, you will see the list of connection and Windows services related to the order in which they are consulted by network connections and others. The default value is Wi - Fi, Ethernet, and then remote access. The network connections service manages objects in the network and remote access connections folder, in which you can view the local area network and remote connections. Using up and down arrows, you can change their order and set it according to your priorities. When you change the setting as shown above and make Ethernet as first choice, your laptop will use the wired connection first by choice.

  e. click OK and the output.

  Your Windows PC will now follow this order of priority when the detection of the available network connections.

  Hope this information is useful.

• my "see the arrow of the hidden icon disappeared from my system tray. How can I get that back?

  I was trying to see the button 'remove hardware safely '. I tried a number of things on the option "see the hidden icon", like the keyboard on the touch screen. I would like to try something, apply, and cancel it. So, I tried the last option, the arrow "show the hidden icon" disappeared and I couldn't get it back.

  How can I get that back?

  for windows 8.1

  (1) open the control panel (right click on the windows icon [start] in the lower left corner of the screen and select "Control Panel" from the pop up menu)

  (2) type "notification" in the search box at the top right of the Control Panel window

  3) click "Notification area icons" in the the come up search results

  (4) at the bottom of the window that appears, uncheck the box that is always called "show all icons and notifications on the taskbar.

  Your "up arrow" ("see the hidden icons arrow) with the system status bar icons should reappear and filled with icons, giving you more space on the taskbar and a more pleasant and uncluttered appearance.

• RESOLVED: The Task Manager icon in the system tray

  I always keep my task manager running as an icon in the system tray.  After an update of software that seems to be an update of Windows XP or IE7, I can minimize is no longer my status bar task manager system; the icon is no longer present.  I have not changed the settings view in the Task Manager bar; they are all checked.  Now, I have to keep the Task Manager minimized in the taskbar instead.  [None of the taskbar settings were changed to icons in the system tray as I downloaded the SP3 for XP over 3 years ago.]  Could it have been caused by the update or y at - it a way to get the Task Manager to reduce in the tray system again?  Thank you.

  I tried all types of features troubleshooting before coming here, including a full analysis of the antiviral software from my system & checking event viewer.  I even went in the registry to see if something happened to the system tray.  BUT... The action to be performed by the most obvious and which should have been the first, I failed to do - restart.  Due to an another software update of my antiviral package yesterday, 22/02/2012, I needed to restart.  After the reboot, the Task Manager icon returns to the system tray and minimization has not caused to disappear.

  The only thing I can conclude is that something has gone wrong during the update of the software of MS Windows and installation of KB2660456, KB2647516-IE7, & KB2661637.  It was the only thing that happens so that I was with MS Paint, no browser was opened or other software packages on except what is necessary to update the files over an internet connection.  To take a hit to what it was exactly would be silly because any number of operations might have bothered with or temporarily created a small problem with the properties of the view Task Manager.

  So I chalk it up to did not not the most basic 'Fixer glitch", reboot, in my haste to find a culprit.  I hope that my blunder will remind others not not forget to start with the basics for sudden failures troubleshooting.  Thank you for your time and your advice.

  [I'm sorry; [I broke each problem statement rule with this post by do not detail what I've done, this system that I have, and what software I use and their versions.]

• Update icon is missing from the system tray

  Salvation Windows XP experts,

  My "Automatic Updates" is set on "download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them", but several times I don't get the icon in the system tray, and it is until I want to shud down my laptop when I get the message "click on disable to install important updates and turn off your computer. , and if I work on the batteries, I don't even get this message. Sometimes I change my setting "Notify Me but don't automatically download or install" hoping that icon will appear, but it's not.

  Recently, I have been informed of the 2 updates to download and agreed, but they got downloaded the icon has disappeared... and when I lock my PC, I got this message because I have new updates have been installed, I clicked on the button "turn off". I was surprised when I saw him on the screen saying 1 of 1 updates is being intalled! I pressed the power button until it exploded and then restarted, it, went into the folder Windows to know he was installing the single update, is not one of the 2 updates that I accepted on! What a f * ing system?

  What can I do to see what updates will be installed on my PC?

  Thank you

  Hello

  If I understand well, you have a little problem with the 'automatic update' - in particular with the notification in the system tray icon. The icon does not appear in the system status bar when updates are ready for instalation - does?

  There is a similar but opposite problem - system "Auto update" displays the icon in the system tray – as they may be new updates installed, but the updated window does not update after clicking on the icon in the system tray:

  http://www.eggheadcafe.com/Microsoft/Windows-Update/29682120/Automatic-Update-icon-stay-on-system-tray.aspx

  So, this has been resolved by removing the "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" directory "C:\WINDOWS" folder

  (before deletion was stopped the service "Windows update").

  What you can try:

  (1) this Fix IT (full reset Windows Update components - including registration of libraries, to rename files ...)

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058/en

  2) install the latest version of the Windows Update Agent (for good communication with the WWW of Windows update server)

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/949104/en

  3) only recommend - install the latest IE (IE8) (Select language)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=43

  (4) this Microsoft Genuine Advantage diagnostic (I hope that will be the pages of the SITE in English)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/genuine/diag/

  enable to download ActiveX and validate windows

  I confess that I have not read previous answers (PA bear MS MVP) in detail, it is possible that you've already tried this. However, I tried this, if I had similar problems.

• Identify the scroll icon in the system tray?

  Lately I've noticed an icon that looks like a yellow scroll with a small circle on it run in my system tray periodically. You can see a screenshot of it here:

  It is often not there, but I'll note once in a blue moon. At the time wherever I go to the mouse over it, it disappears.
  Someone has an idea what is this icon?

• Corrupt system tray icons

  My system tray icons have disappeared - apparently after an uninstall of Norton Internet Security (itcould be independent - but a lot of things went wrong at the same time!)

  I tried fiddling with the options of customization of system tray - hide / show etc - but this has no effect. In addition, in this menu, all icons are false. for example, the volume control - normally a photo of a mini speaker - is now just a folder icon in windows (like most of them) while others have bad program icon.

  Any ideas?

  I presume that you have uninstalled Norton via the Control Panel / Add or remove programs.  If you haven't already done so, you must also download and run the Norton removal tool.  For more information, see

  Regarding your icon problem, Google against "icons of windows xp repair.

  I'm sure that Google will produce a lot of hits.  In a first time, download and install Tweak UI for Windows XP - a Microsoft PowerToy that provides many useful settings.  Tweak UI includes a feature to repair icon.
