Lost icons desk top

I lost all the icons on my desktop... How can I recover them?

Try a system restore to a time before you lost the icons. If this does not help, look for malware.

  • How to free up unused icons desk tops

    Hi, how can I release my programs office that I almost never use. Thank you paul.

    Hello

    Unlike Windows XP, Windows 7 or Vista, does not include a Desktop Cleanup Wizard, which has kept track of your use of the icons on your desktop and offered to remove the unused icons every 60 days.

    CleanDesktop is an application portable little freeware that helps you clean up your desktop icons not used in Windows 7 and Vista. This utility is for those who miss the wizard!

    On running it, it will scan & detect office items that have not been used within the last 30 days and and the list of people down. You then have an option to remove them.

    The unused items are not deleted but moved to a folder on the desktop, namely; C: \Users \username \Desktop \Unused icons. You can also cans also opt to remove unused items directly.

    Kind regards.

    Hello

    This problem can occur for the following reasons:

    • Auto-hide the taskbar has been selected for the taskbar and Start Menu Properties.
    • Your user account settings are corrupt.
    • The core files are damaged.
    • The Explorer.exe file does not load at startup.

    Please refer to:

    After the Windows Logo appears or after you log in to Windows, a Windows XP computer cannot display the wallpaper, a black screen or a blue screen

    Note:

    You can back up data to an external hard drive and no CD. It is essential to back up data even if you do an upgrade on the spot.

  • my desk top has a virus and I lost total control of my desktop at the top of the page

    ORIGINAL TITLE: I need serious help

    my desk top has a virus and I lost total control of my desktop, when I restart my computer my keyboard won't let me use the F8 key. I bought an adapter PS\2 and still nothing, my mouse unplugged... When I was able to access my profile before he started that go all wonky random letter would appear in my search bar, or if I connected Internet, as soon as google would startup load, it was as if my keyboard was possessed. the google box would be filled with random letters?

    The thing is, it was not even 2 months ago the same thing! I took my turn 'Squadron of the tech' intro and they said that it (the virus) had been removed. The only sites I go to hotmail is to check my messages, I empty my spam unless I'm expecting something once in a blue moon, I'll go on fb... so I don't see how I caught the virus back. When I finished my computer I log out and do not let my internet race. I just want my baby difficulty... I went to the explicit memory, and they said that it would cost me $ 700 to erase and reinstall the window? is it really necessary?
    Oh ago one of my friends wrote the code for my computer? or set up anything in the BIOS thingy? then when the windows recovery screen appears the white bar does not move when I use the two sets of arrows. the only button that works is to remove
    Help, please

    "Squadron of the technology? Do you mean the Geek Squad?

    If Yes, let me point out that, in my opinion (and that of many others of)
    We here) Geek Squad (and any similar big box store) is amongst the
    worst possible sources for the repair of computers, maintenance, tips, etc. In
    the future, if you need help, bring the computer to a smaller local
    store.

    If you're still having problems, I would not at all be surprised if
    they were caused by the Geek Squad. But tell us what virus you had.
    And how did you know you had it? What antivirus do you use,
    and why the anti-virus program does not remove the virus?

    Hello

    I suspect that Hula_Baloo might have misinterpreted your question. My interpretation is completely different.

    Hula_Baloo instructions above will be stop all programs that run at startup, some of which may obscure your office.

    My interpretation is that you don't want to have to click your user icon and enter your password to connect to the computer. If my interpretation is correct, then this should help...

    Hi westland.

    The first thing I would do is make sure that all of your plugins are up-to-date:

    https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/pluginCheck/

    Many e-mail providers use a flash interface to attach documents. If this does not work, you can try from Firefox Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode. There could be a plugin/add-on which interferes. If you do not have the issue so that all your modules, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the guide to troubleshooting Extensions and themes and article troubleshooting issues with plugins like Flash or Java to solve common Firefox problems as well.

    You can also try to create a new profile.

    Hope this helps!

  • Can I link to my desk top home with my desk top?

    I am looking to buy another computer for my food truck business. I would go with a desk top and mount it on a counter. Can I connect my software so I can work my truck and home?

    It depends on. There are a lot of software today that will allow data to be easily shared between two computers in different places. Apple Pages and Numbers for example make it easy to synchronize data using iCloud. The same is possible using Microsoft Word and Excel using iCloud or Microsoft OneDrive. Depending on the software, you may have to pay for a separate license for each computer. In addition, depending on the software, it can be difficult or impossible to share data. You can reply with more information about what you would want to put a link between two computers.

  • HP DESK TOP 20-d013w: no sound

    PLEASE HELP RESTORE THE SOUND ON MY HP DESK TOP SMART TOUCH ENVY20.  I DON'T HEAR HER TRYING TO WATCH YOU TUBE VIDEOS.  I ALREADY CHECKED THE VOLUME SOUND AND NOTHING IS THERE FACT!

    Hello @terri-2,.

    I read your post on how you're looking to restore the sound on your desktop when you watch YouTube videos, and I'd be happy to help you in this case!

    Are you able to hear the sound using other programs, such as Windows Media Player or other sites that stream media? You are able to hear the sound of a set of connected headhones?

    In the meantime, I recommend that you follow the steps described in this document on the no sound on speakers (Windows 8). This will help you configure your desktop computer to play audio when watching YouTube videos.

    In addition, I also offers by following the steps below:

    Step 1. Make sure that the video is not muted in YouTube and Facebook.
    Step 2. Close all open Internet Explorer Windows
    Step 3. Office Open Internet Explorer. Go to tools, Internet Options
    Step 4. Select the "Advanced" tab
    Step 5. Scroll down to the 'Multimédia' heading
    Step 6. Make sure that "Play sounds in web pages" is checked
    Step 7. Click on 'OK '.
    Step 8. Restart Internet Explorer. A test to see if the sounds will play now

    I also recommend the rest of this resource on the steps to troubleshoot Flash Player on Windows 8. that should help set up all the additional parameters for good audio performance on YouTube.

    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your response!
