  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/106787-notification-area-system-icons.html

  The tutorial has 3 methods.

  Method is a general method which, unfortunately, rarely works because that box, you need to check usually grayed (unclickable).

  Two method is only for Vista Ultimate and Enterprise.

  Three method applies to all versions of Vista.

  Use the Reg file download. It is simple and easy.

  * Do
  sure that you restart the computer to complete the
  procedures.
  

  
  P.S. Despite what the tutorial said, it is best to keep these files reg on the desktop. They will come to hand the next time that you lose one of these.
  I had to use several times. They have the bad habit of going awol.

  
  

  Four method is via the registry editor. If you are comfortable with editing the registry, give it a try.

  The easiest and safest way is three method.

  If you see this on your desktop, it is not a Windows application. It's a Dell? Are you referring to the Dell docking station?

  Start | All programs | Dell folder. The Dell Dock is listed here? If no, go to: start | Search and type Dell Dock. A bit of luck with that?

  I also checked device Manager with the warning icon in the network adapters.

  Teredo tunneling adapter 10 error.

  I get internet connection in safe mode but not in normal mode.

  You can connect in safe mode, so... Create a NEW USER in safe MODE...

  1. Go to the--> user accounts Control Panel (user accounts and Family Safety--> add or remove user accounts--> create a new account--> account management of--> create a new account.)
  2. Give the user new administrator rights.
  3. Restart the PC and login as the new user.

  The new user works in normal mode?

  You can now, navigate to the location mentioned before see if (under your user name usual folder\desktop) icons you think Miss exist?

• loss of icon - missing Skype icon on the desktop

  original title: lost icon

  I have windows 7 64 bit system.  Today, I noticed that my Skype icon disappeared from my office (it was not in the toolbar never).  If I go to all programs Skype appears and I can click on it to open it and it works fine.  Then I did a right click on the Skype program and send (create a shortccut).  a shortcut was placed on my desk but it a generic bit - square box icon not the original Skype icon which is a large S in a blue box.  Someone at - it no indication as to why it has gone--none of my other icons on the desktop are gone.  And I checked the trash to see if it had been deleted inadvertently.  In addition, any suggestions on how to get the icon with logo skpe back on the desktop?  Thank you.

  Carl

  Because it is only today, do a system restore. Pick, say, your restore point 2 days ago.

  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.

• How to get an icon on the Desktop Web. I have windows 7 and 8 on different computers.

  I asked this question repeatedly in stores and friends and tells me that it is possible by clicking on the web address, however, it would seem that Firefox does not happen because I was only able to do so far. I used to be able to do it on Xp but now find it impossible. I use this facility to allow me to access a web page immediately instead of having to go through the search or a bookmark. I'm having the same problem with windows 8 on a different machine.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  There are several way to do.

  • 1 hold down the left mouse on the icon in the address bar, and then move the icon on your desktop and let go.
  • 2 deskCut {web link}
