  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.

  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.

You can't however move icons to create gaps between them. They will always be positioned in the upper left corner for the first available space. Once you've converted them, you can click the home button to turn off him jiggle.

• Unexpected icon on the desktop called Null0 and have no internet connectivity

  my fathers partners last week computer has been infected by adware, which was easy enough to remove safely. But last night he told me his return (he thinks ebay.co.uk is at fault?). In any case, when I had a quick glance, there is an icon on the desktop, titled null0. # .rar, which he had never seen before. Brilliant orange white white outline of the letter X. The computer does not connect to the internet, unable to open the system restore and the pop ups are quite common. Anyone can shed light on what I can do? Also, there is little to no information around on the net to give me an overview of what this thing is and what is going on this machine.
