• How can I change the appearance of the police to identify the icons on the desktop?

  I added a file of the photo (jpg) on the desktop of my images, and when I returned the text under the icons on the desktop now has a black box around it.  They still work, but I want the ordinary police white with black back shadow!

  Hello

  Please continue with the following steps to support...

  I'm sure that you run on color 32 bits, so change to 16 bit and apply (the black boxes should be gone). Restart your computer and then change back to 32-bit. You must restart, otherwise if change you it to 32 bits, the boxes will come back.

  -Restoration of the system before the encounter this problem

  -Create an alternate user account and check if the problem occurs in this account

  -Safe Mode

  SFC/scannow

  I hope that this information is beneficial.

• New investment of Vista icon on the desktop

  My Vista desktop is set to show medium icons, with autoarrange and snap to grid.  Whenever I have create a new icon on the desktop (i.e. save a file it), it seems just under the computer icon in the upper left corner.  However, I keep a number of icons on my desktop, so it moves all other icons to the bottom and to the right.

  In Windows XP, all the new icons would be automatically placed to the "end" (in bottom right) of all the icons already on the desk.  Is it possible to get Vista to do the same?

  It's just more convenient to always have the old icons in the expected location and new appear on the "end" of the list.

  Thank you.

  Open your office in Explorer and sort by date descending. You must use the setting in Folder Options to allow the records to be kept their own settings.

• Icon on the desktop without permission changes - new

  This is a thread to an old problem that has re-curred: see also http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/desktop-program-icon-changes-without-authority/88ceb811-edfd-42a0-86ae-f024ebb84c92

  I am connected to the re-currency it a few days ago, with some info on the link who has worked the last time and a question.  No one has yet responded, and on the prospect that old nets are more current on your side, I raised it a new.

  Specifically, it is the image that I see with the white windows icon

  

  The desktop icon is the element "in white" Windows.  Select it, properties/change icon, I got trapped change Panel adjacent to the empty desktop icon.  The icon displayed by the control panel change is correct.  The path in the target box is correct, and in the Explorer, the file icon is also correct.  Using the process of change icon for the desktop icon, I can change the icon of the Virgin and the other in the list, and that works.  Having done that, change this return returns to the windows item.  Program re - starts, hot and cold, re-boots don't change this.  When the program is opened, the correct icon appears in the system at the bottom of the screen bar.

  I have the previous file of fixit winfolder stored on my machine (mentioned in the last thread) and applied.  It found no errors.  Then I tried later that displays the link in the old thread (which the question mentioned was subject), saved the file and then run.  He also found no error.

  So, how can I fix this so the correct icon appears on the desktop?

• Windows 7 - How can I get rid of an "All Control Panel items" icon on the desktop?

  Only, I've migrated to Vista Ultimate x 64 to Windows 7 Professional x 64.  I used Laplink to move all my users, programs, and settings.  Everything is great, except now there is an icon on the desktop for all my users that I can't get rid of - it connects to the control panel and is called "All Control Panel items" - it cannot be deleted or moved to the Recycle Bin. Make a right click on it brings up a menu with 'open' and 'create a shortcut' by dragging it to the trash does not delete it.

  If I am right cick on the desktop and add Control Panel to the items displayed on the desktop, a second control Panel icon appears with the same picture, but the text is just 'control panel '.

  I don't know there is a registry key that I have to remove or adjust but after a lot of research can't find anything.

  Open the Publisher of the registry (Regedit.exe) and navigate to:

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace]

  Backup the key by exporting to a REG file.

  Expand the branch above and delete the following subkey:

  {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
  (The above is the GUID for "All Control Panel items" Namespace)

  Similarly, to remove the entry here (if found)

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace]

• How to remove arrow shortcut icon on the desktop

  Although it is possible to remove the arrow, my recommendation is that
  you are not doing this. The arrows are an important
  function - provide quick visual identification of a shortcut. If you
  remove the arrows, you run the risk of substantial that sooner or later
  you delete something you want to keep, thinking that you were
  just remove a shortcut. I let the arrows that they are.

  Ken Blake (MS-MVP)

  According to me, there are situations that are valid for this.  I would like to remove the arrow from shortcuts on the desktop that I keep to certain folders.  I have file extensions on and do not keep the installers on the desktop, so I don't see the harm to remove the arrow of my shortcut 'Documents '.  I never think of Documents is actually stored on the desktop.  And if something, it only would make me more hesitant to delete a shortcut, no more likely to remove a real folder.  I plead to remove the arrow system, but it would be useful for specific desktop icons.  It's obviously the case, because Microsoft has decided to remove the arrow for "user files" folder is added through the control panel "Desktop Icon Settings".

• All icons on the desktop have turned to photo viewer and cannot open these programs

  I recently had my computer up to date. Everything was fine until I put my memory stick in the laptop and tried to download my back upwards. Now, when I turn the laptop on the icons does not load and are all stuck in photo viewer and I cannot open programs at all. Can anyone help please, thank you

  Original title: icons on the desktop

  I'm not 100% sure but I think that you are having a bad "file extension association. This is where the default program to open a file is incorrect. In the case of your office, these are all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) and the. LNK Association was by mistake coupled with Photo Viewer.

  I've seen this happen when opening a program via a shortcut (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After you have selected the photo viewer (or another program) via the Select a program from a list of programs installedand check always use the selected program to open this type of file (circled in red below), the document or program referenced by the shortcut of origin opens in the Photo Viewer as it should.

  The problem is that now all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) on the desktop or in the Explorer will want to be opened by the photo viewer and often use the icon Photo Viewer to display the shortcut no matter what shortcut was originally intentioned to open. This is known as a file association and the default icon. The same condition can occur if you have performed these actions 'Open with' on one. JPG or even a. EXE, but the. LNK explanation is much more likely for the items on the desktop.

  The good news is that a small free utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is also a registry hack to achieve, but I recommend the utility unASSOC for its ease of use.

  You can get a copy of my OneDrive here. I used to send people elsewhere to download a copy, but this page is more in addition to confusion with misleading ads to download this and this computer of powders of snake oil "fixed".

  

  Just download, then use the utility to unassociate the. LNK files for the user or globally delete the file type and let windows rebuild a new default.

  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.

• the browser refresh icon on the desktop once per minute

  A small question.  I am currently 'essay' Photoshop CC before taking a subscription.  Since the installation of the trial version my icons on the desktop (Windows 7) keep flashing/refresh once per minute.  All icons that is, except the icon creative cloud which is not updated (or blink).  Referring to the Windows Task Manager I notice it's explorer.exe that is currently running for a fraction of a second, once a minute, with 13% of CPU power just for that fraction of a second short.  While it's not perform the proper functioning of my computer, or all programs, it is quite disconcerting to have this "flashing" repeatedly happening all the time. It is something that was not happening before you download and install Photoshop CC.  Does anyone have any idea what the issue might be or what I can do to stop what is happening. I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker, but I would be much happier to take a full subscription if I could solve the problem.  (P.S. I've been a Photoshop user / reviewer / instructor since the 1990s)

  I thank you in advance for any help or suggestion, you can offer.

  Kind regards

  Is your desktop/Explorer flashes if you exit Creative Cloud and only run Photoshop?

• I can't find the FF in 10 Windows anywhere... I downloaded, refreshed, etc... but no visible icon on the desktop, the icon taskbar, dosen't show at "all apps".

  I can't find the FF in 10 Windows anywhere... I downloaded, refreshed, etc... but no visible icon on the desktop, the icon taskbar, dosen't show at "all apps".

  See if there is a Mozilla Firefox directory in C:\Program Files (x 86). If so and there are files in this directory, you should be able to reinstall Firefox without losing your preferences.

  Also, you should be able to run it by typing "Firefox" at a DOS command prompt. If it is running, then just create icons yourself.
