• Added items to randomly change after opening other files in a subfolder.

  I have a file that is pinned on my Start menu that is attached to excel 2007. Now I can quickly open this file in excel when I want.

  The location of this file is \\server\sharedarea\inout.xls

  I have another file I want to pin to pin of excel area. This file is located in a subfolder of the original file.

  The location of this new file is \\server\sharedarea\subfolder\anotherfile.xls

  However when I opened the "anotherfile.xls" my pinned original file "inout.xls" has been replaced by "anotherfile.xls" and anotherfile.xls does not appear in my list of files recently viewed and or not "inout.xls".

  In order to get the "inout.xls" file that is pinned in my pinned items I open it in excel and the pinned "anotherfile.xls" link is automatically crushed and changed in the pinned file 'inout.xls'. For this reason, I am not able to get both "inout.xls" and "anotherfile.xls", pinned to the excel menu area start due to this bug. Not appear in my list of recent files either.

  I also have the same problem with task bar pinned items. If I open a folder or a file that is located in a subfolder of the original pinned item, windows, in his infinite wisdom, will replace my original pinned object, change to the new folder / file I open even if I don't want it (and 99% of the time I don't want it).

  Someone from microsoft can fix pinned bugs points because it is certainly not just me that sees a massive amount of bugs in the added items. It's something I could code and get it right the first time. It would take probably more effort to get Windows to the elements of pinned randomly change he would to leave him alone.

  I'm starting to think that the code of favorite items in Windows 7 needs a serious rewrite. So many bugs for something that really should not have problems, there!

  Thank you for the lack of support on this issue.

• My desktop icon to change their appearance?

  Greetings Windows wizards and warriors.

  A few months my desktop icons have changed their look by themselves? Little normal images are changed to little land and pages with the right corner leaning forward. When it started only affected the shortcuts of the site but since suddenly from affecting the icons of the programs as well. I tried to go into the properties for individual icons and changing images back to normal, but their real images are not available on the selection screen, their not located anywhere at all. Funny enough without notice the icon pictures return just as they disappeared. If any of you very inteligent people have an answer to why and how this happens, and especially how to prevent this behavior, please contact me, ' help me Obiwan, you're my only hope! "
