You can also have Windows automatically arrange your icons. Right-click on an empty area of the desktop, click view, and then click on reorganisation automatic icons. Windows stacks your icons in the upper left corner and locks them in place. To unlock the icons so that you can move them again, click on reorganisation automatic icons still once again, clearing the check box beside him.

 
Note

By default, Windows spaces icons evenly on an invisible grid. To place icons closer together or more accurately, disable the grid. Right-click on an empty area of the desktop, point to viewand then click on the icons to align with the grid , clear the check box. Repeat these steps for re - turn on the grid.

  • Lag/slow loading icon in "Programs" in the Start Menu

    Why should he wait a few seconds for the icons in all programs to load up in my menu start? I forced a rebuild of the cache of my icon, fresh win7 x 64 on AMD Phenom X 4 9950 4 GB RAM so no reason for this slow right?

    It will be still much slower at any time rebuild you your icon cache: because rebuild the cache clears all the icons.  Then the next time, they should be displayed, the system must open each file in the menu start one by one and read the icon.  Because the hard disk is the slowest part of any computer, this causes a very significant delay.

    The icon cache is also rebuilt (erased) when run cleaning disc and some other 3rd party systems cleaning.

    It should be slower after any kind of reconstruction after the first screen, there should be a snapshot whenever you open the menu (unless you rebuild your new icon cache).

  • I don't have the desktop icons, task bar or the start menu. All I have is my wallpaper.

    I think I'm done inadvertently the Explorer.exe process when trying to figure out which bogged down my laptop. I have now no start menu, no desktop icons, no task bar... nothing! The paper just painted. When I right click on the wallpaper I get nothing. I have no idea how to get that back. If I had not left my email up, I wouldn't even be able to access the internet!

    Hello.

    You should be able to press Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC to open the Task Manager.
    From there, click on file > new task (run...), then type "explorer.exe" in the dialog box and click on enter.
    Of course, should explore back upward during restart as well.

  • missing desktop icons and reappear at the start?

    I have a desktop PC with i7 and 16 GB. It runs on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Whenever I start my PC, all the desktop icons appear normally and quickly at the beginning.

    You see only your background image and the wallpaper?
    Miss all your desktop icons and you don't see the taskbar at the bottom of the screen or are simply missing icons and you can see the taskbar at the bottom?
    Check the simple things first.  Right-click on an open space on your desktop, choose Arrange icons by and make sure the option show desktop icons has a check mark next to it.  This will work if you don't miss you that the desktop icons, but still see the Start button and the taskbar.
    If only you can see your wallpaper background picture and don't see the desktop icons and no start button or taskbar, this means that the explorer.exe program does not run (and it must be running) or the explorer.exe program are usually afflicted.  A good way to think about at the moment, it is that the process explorer.exe "is" your desktop.
    If this is the case, the malicious software in general is preparing.
    What is your system brand and model?
    What is your version of XP and the Service Pack?
    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?
    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
    Sometimes your anti malware program to quarantine (and indeed remove) your file explorer.exe (or other critical files on the XP system) if it finds that the file is infected.  The file may really be infected, but you can know for sure and then reconsider your anti malware options.
    First, you need to get your work desk, then you can solve your problem of potential malware.
    Of your background image, press CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Task Manager.
    Look at the processes tab and if the process explorer.exe is not running, start it as follows:
    In Task Manager, click file, new task, and in the Open box, enter:
    %windir%\explorer.exe
    Click OK and see if get you your office.
    If explorer.exe is already running in the processes tab, it is likely that the object of the affection and will need to be replaced (which is not difficult).
    If you notice that the explorer.exe process is already running in the Task Manager, highlight the explorer.exe process, and then click end process to stop and start a new explorer.exe process as described above.
    If things look right now, your system is still not fixed, but it should be enough usable so now you can fix it.
    I would start with these scans:
    Perform scans for malware first, then these scans by operating clean, difficulty of problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    Please report back with information about your system and your results if you need additional assistance.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

  • Why the icons disappear from the Start Menu?

    The Start Menu has two regions: a region for applications whose icons are pinned to the Start Menu and two region, for applications whose icons are not pinnend to the start menu... the positions of icons these vary, depending on the frequency of use.

    Why in the region shortcut icons do not disappear into the Start Menu?
    They are not being "jostled" more low ranking... they stop just appear.
    Open an application can hand its icon at two area of the Start Menu,
    but then after a few days (maybe earlier), for example, the icon is missing.

    Thank you
    DaleB

    You already have the answer yourself.

    "The two region" can only hold x number of icons... Let's say 7.
    If you later open a 8th program, among the list of 7 will be "hit.

    2. At the command prompt with admin, type privileges window ' sfc/scannow ' or ' sfc/scannow ' also works. And then press enter.
    3. Wait a few moments so he can analyze the system files, you may need to restart then.
