  Hello

  I'd say a repair of Windows XP merely to ensure that any content viral/malicious installation has been removed completely.  In addition, you can create a user account replacing a check if you are still having this problem.  Most probably this account knows still some question.  Preferred methods are to perform a repair installation or a new installation of Windows.  I hope that this information is beneficial.

• I installed windows 7 and the desktop icons and bar tasks are enormous

  Original title: Windows 7

  I installed windows 7 and the desktop icons and bar tasks are enormous, go to Web pages, I have to use the scrollbar at the bottom of page to see the other half of the page - he said could also be a driver problem, but don't know what I'm looking for - someone can help?

  Hello

  Yes, well part of the problem from the point of view of Dell is the only "acceptable" operating system for the Office of series 4600 XP. So they have no drivers 'official' for any function of Windows 7!

  But first I need more information on the video card. Try this (on the Dell site): 4600 system is supplied either with the built-in car video or a dedicated real card video.  You should know that you got.  Right-click of your mouse on the desktop, click on Properties in the next area, you see.  This will bring you into the display properties.  Now click on settings at the top right of this next area, click Next on the advance .  Now, click on the adapter on the top.  Just below the upper on this last box, you will see your listed video adapter.

  You will need this information, regardless of where you get help. My best recommendation is that you go to the community of Dell and after a question here. Someone may have already found one, but there is nothing official since the operating system is not officially supported.

  I'm sorry, there is nothing more I can do.

  Kind regards

• The desktop icons don't "Refresh" copied or deleted

  This a problem that just started. There are two scenerios:
  1 copy or create a new icon on the desktop, however, it does not appear there. Yet when I go to Windows Explorer and navigate to my desktop folder, the file is there. The only time I can get the icon to appear, or 'Refresh' is when I restart the computer.
  2. I have delete a file on the desktop, however, it is simply there. When I try to delete it again, he says that the file does not exist.

  I think it's just a case of something to is not refreshing the desktop icons when these actions take place.

  Hi HarrisonHodgkins,

  See if updating the video card drivers helps. It works in some cases.

  If not, perform a clean boot and see if this is caused by a third-party software.

• loss of internet explorer. Now by default Desktop Icons in Windows Media

  I HIT SOMETHING BY MISTAKE AND LOSS OF THE USE OF INTERNET EXPLORER AND WINDOWS MEDIA HAS TAKEN OVER MOST OF MY ICONS ON MY DESKTOP
  EVERYTHING THAT I TOUCHED WINDOWS MEDIA APPEARS, EVEN BASED ON MICROSOFT. WHAT SHOULD I DO TO GET IT BACK?

  Hi Cynthia,.

  Do you know when this started? If so, try a system restore to before it started to see if that helps. If you use Windows 7, seehttp://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html. If you are using Vista, seehttp://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/. If you are using XP, seehttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084. Sometimes this simple process made the rounds and sometimes that doesn't help - but it is easy and worth if she has recently begun.

  If you are unable to access the internet (or even the system restore), tries to boot mode safe mode with networking and see if that helps.  If not, see if you can use a disk recovery or the Setup disk to access the options of recovery in this way.  If you need help, I need to know your operating system, manufacturer, brand and model of your computer, and what drives you are available now.

  If you can access the internet somehow, if you are using Vista, go tohttp://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and scroll to the EXE and click or double-click it to run the program to restore EXE file associations. Once done, do the same for LNK entry. That should restore your programs. If you use Windows 7, go to http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html. If you are using XP, go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm.  NOTE: I think this is the real answer to the problem and the question in this case, I've rarely seen in combination, is how to perform the procedures with your system in its current state.

  We will check the alteration that may have been caused by this problem:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run. It will scan and try to correct some of your system files. If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228).

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run. They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot. Answer Yes and restart to run the program. It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

  If that can't find something problematic (and maybe especially if this is the case), then we will make a thorough for malware check to exclude:

  First, try the following programs if you do not, because they can help. I recommend you download, install, update and run full scans with Malwarebytes:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and SuperAntiSpyware:http://superantispyware.com/ and then run a full scan of Microsoft Security:http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx. This may or may not remove the infections, but will probably not correct the damage caused by them. Even if they or your current AV software seem to work or indicate that you are not infected, you should not completely trust in them and must continue with the recommendations that follow (so it's up to you if you want to try them first, or just ignore all this and get help from an expert you really need as described below).

  Correctly and completely remove these infections can be complex and often require manual removal procedures (which may or may not be entirely effective either). Even if they work, I suggest what follows in any case, so that we can start it (you can ignore the methods above if you want it really is the way forward, but it won't hurt to them for trying).

  Understanding saved views and navigation records
  In Windows 2000 Professional, the view you use is not always permanently saved in Windows Explorer. You can control if the views that you use are stored permanently or temporarily, to help to memorize check box of each folder view settings tab display of the dialog box folder Options (see figure 9.3).

  By default the Remember each folder view settings is enabled. When you choose to leave this setting is enabled, the following occurs:

  changes that you make to the folder view are saved automatically when you close the file.
  b. the display allows you to display a folder is not applied to other folders.
  c. When you open a folder, it opens in the view that you used when you last time there.
  When you clear the checkbox for don't forget to display settings for each folder, the following occurs:

  a. When you start Windows Explorer, the first folder that you discover poster in saved view of the folder. Explorer Windows holds who discovers in the temporary memory and applies it to all the files that you have visited while Windows Explorer is open, unless you manually change the view.
  b. as you navigate to other folders (after having opened the original record), the view saved for each folder is ignored, and when you exit Windows Explorer, the folder view that you used to display multiple records is cleared from the temporary memory.
  c. the next time you open Windows Explorer, once more, the saved view of the first folder that you open that determines how you display multiple records.
  Setting all folders on the same point of view

  
  Some users want to have all their Windows Explorer folders defined on the same point of view. In Windows 2000 Professional, the default is that any changes to the view of the file is automatically saved when you close the file and are not applied to other folders. However, you can set all folders to the same view by using the Folder Options command, as described in the following procedure.

  To set all the folders on the same point of view
  1. in my computer or Windows Explorer, set the display according to your preferences.
  2. in the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
  3. in the Folder Options dialog box, click the view tab.
  4. under folder views, click on like current folder.
  Important remember view settings check box each folder under the view tab of the Options dialog box of records (see Figure 9.3) affects how the display settings for individual records are applied and saved. For more information on the impact to disable this check box, see "Understanding saved views and navigation files" earlier in this chapter.

• HP Start Menu and the desktop icons for HP printer Diagnostic tools

  Hello world

  I have a HP Desktop F4440 all-in-one printer and I use the Windows XP operating system. I have all the scanning software and others installed from the original HP installation disk or updates from the HP Web site for this printer. Everything works very well at the moment, but there is a small problem. The HP icon shortcuts for the Menu start-up and functions for the printer changed to a generic icon at a time given to these two places after the software installation CD was used by me to install the printer programs or desktop icon HP to utilities "Diagnostic Tools HP printer" original. It works fine otherwise, when I want to go check something on the Tools of diagnosis HP printer or HP Solution Center, but the HP icon changed to a generic at a time for a reason unknown, inexplicable. I don't have no changes to my system until the problem occurred to my knowledge other casual upgrade for the operating system or install a new windows update or HP software updates or restart the computer, but some schooner point after one of these upgrades, HP put to date or restart the HP start menu and desktop icons time replaced by a generic.

  Can someone tell me how I can recover the original HP icon and get her back Amendment? It was an icon on the web since the HP printer Diagnostics utility or function is based on the web. Is there a way I can save a copy of just the file on my computer icon so that if it goes back to that generic again once I can more easily change what it is supposed to be? I thank very you much for your help and advice.

  Hi there yoseph13,

  What has happened to me too, but after a windows update. Half the icons on my desktop have been affected. I hope that this fix works for you as well. Right-click on the icon. Go to properties. Click Change icon. Select the icon and click ok then apply and ok again. If the icon does not appear, you will need to navigate to the folder of the software and select the application.

  Good luck!
