• Lost my desktop icons!

  I have a laptop Equium A60 and lost all the icons on my desktop. I can find them by going via start, programs. Any ideas on how to recover my office?

  Hello

  Your question seems very strange and I can t believe that the icons are hidden with no intervention.
  I think that you have accidentally disabled the option show desktop icons.
  In any case, please right-click on the desktop and choose Arrange icons by
  (I think that it s an option of fist on the top of this menu) Then you should see the option called show desktop icons. Please turn it on.

  After this procedure, all the icons should reappear.

  Even in windows - start "Windows/start / all programs": all programs with ".exe" - mainfile changed their icon of adobes-player-icon and should not start, same report.

  My system is: Win 7 Pro SP1, my system has been running perfect until Adobe´s recommendation to update Java.  The procedure of update-Java-auto: apparently the same as several before.

  What went wrong? What should do now? How and where I fix the connection appearently wrong of Adobe Reader with computers exe files?

  My todays burning problem is, I have to use this computer today important obligations related to dates, especially my statement of tax, otherwise I have to pay the drastic punishment.

  What I ve learned today still and forever: never touch a running system! More than ever, with a recommendation to update to Adobe! I m so diappointed at Adobe!

• Lost the desktop icons

  Hello

  I lost a few icons on the desktop. If I use Windows Explorer to show the desktop, they are present in the list. They appear not only on the desktop. If I try and do drag on the desktop I am blocked because they already exist.

  How to make a comeback?

  Thank you

  How to make a comeback?

  Thank you

  Frank C

  First try the easiest method:
  Right-click on the free space of the desktop > click View > click on the Show Desktop icons.

  If that's not the answer, try the following suggestions...

  1 do a system restore. Choice of date where all your desktop icons were present and functional as your restore point.

  Start button > Search box, type System Restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, until the click > next > finish
  To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.

  2. rebuild your cache of icons:

• PSE12 - I lost my desktop icon when I tried to move to the gutter. Now I can't find how to start the program.

  The useful suggestion only so far is to uninstall PSE12 and reload it. However, I bought this package as a downloadable copy and I don't have an original disc. Because I have now recorded copy, will be - this PSE refuse to allow a second attempt to sign? See you soon

  Hi Ned

  A.... With the help of your response and assistance from Adobe, my query has been resolved. Help Adobe's response is that, with the PSE, reset the validation is done automatically when the program is uninstalled. I just deleted the previously created desktop icons. Please see excerpt of conversation Chat Adobe below.

  1. Adobe: uninstall and turn off are the same in PSE
  2. Dave_t_9: Wow! I didn't know that! So if I have problems loading, I can try to load several times on the same machine, providing I have uninstall between each attempt?
  3. Adobe: That is absolutely correct.

  B.

  1. I'm sorry that my download was backwards. Also to add the attachment, I tried to use the print to the screen but it was rejected saying that the format was not supported.

  Concerning

• All desktop icons overlaid with small 'none' icon

  All my desktop icons are covered, what I call the icon "no icon". (small box with three small dots of color in a larger white box, top right corner folded down).  This 'no icon' icon is on 1/3-1/4 the size of the original icon, so it does not use, but this icon that just overlap correct is looking a mess.

  If I open the properties, only the icon "no icon" is in the properties box.    If I point Windows Explorer program.  We show the correct icon (no recovery).  If I drag this program on the desktop, create a shortcut, drag the correct icon - until - I release it, then the icon "no icon" is that just overlap the correct icon than others on my desktop.

  I was told to delete the IconCache.db in C:\Users\\AppData\Local.   as it is rebuilt when you start...  This suggestion appears in several places - that, in my case, that does not work.   Reboot and the superimposed icons are all there yet.

  I've seen other complaints of other small icons coming to overlap, but so far, none of the people with suggestions work for my problem.

  I had the same thing happen to me... and after about 3 hours of internet research.

  the solution that worked for me...

  Use the command regedit as an administrator

  GoTo this save location.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons

  There should be only (default) REG_SZ (value not set)

  unless you use another software that should be the only thing here... other things could be Malware but investigate to make sure.

  I hope this helps...
