  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.

I tried to move music to a file to burn a cd, he asked what program I should use to open them have all records have the same program and open the habit... I don't run a virus, malware, none of the infected files.

  Hello

  You did changes to the computer before the show?

  Method 1
  I suggest you try the steps from the following link:

  When you run an .exe on a Windows Vista-based or Windows 7 computer file, the file may start another program
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505

  Note: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article: back up the registry in Windows 7

  Method 2
  The issue could be due to the virus on the computer. I suggest you run virus scanner online by using the Microsoft safety scanner.

  Note: when you do an antivirus online, you will lose data that are affected by the virus. Microsoft is not responsible for the loss of this data.

• Moving icons from the desktop Start Menu

  I was unable to move the Internet Explorer icon in my desktop Start menu.  Does anyone know how to do this?

  Thank you

• Just installed Firefox on a Mac under OS x 10.6.8 - 7.0.1 installation disc remains an icon on the desktop and whenever I run, Firefox opens a window asking me to drag the icon from Firefox to my Applications folder. How do I get this to go?

  I installed the app in my applications folder and everything works perfectly. But normally, after you have installed a browser, the installation disk icon that appears on your desktop can be ejected or removed without. Mine is back...

  Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.
  
  Open the DMG file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.
  
  You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead.

• I lost the connection between the icons on the desktop and the program. When I click on an icon, I get the OPEN WITH menu.

  I click right-properties and I get C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found.

  I tried to download fixit and got the OPEN WITH menu.

  It sounds like your .lnk and/or your .exe file associations may have been lost.

  You can try to fix the ".exe" and ".lnk" file associations:

  Restart your computer several times and see if it comes back. If this isn't the case, then you have a corrupt user profile.
