• my photos have become jpeg how to change their return

  all my photos have become how to change their return to the jpeg image format

  ==============================================
  Please provide more details on what you think has been changed.

  The most common picture format is .jpg... most computer users have thousands
  of them.

  There is no "image format" itself... the pics formats common are... jpg, .gif, .png and .tif.

  Is it possible that "Hide extensions of known file types" has been recently disabled
  in Folder Options, and now you see...

  Filenames like "Summer Vacation.jpg" instead of just "holiday"?

• I changed a single picture to paint in Windows 7. Now, all my pictures are files of paint. How to make their return to normal JPEG?

  Normally, I use Paint on my photos.  I changed a photo to painting so that I could make a few adjustments.   Now, all my pictures are open as files of the paint.  How to make their return to the normal setting of JPEG file?

  Seems you have to change the program by default JPG/JPEG to everything that you had previously, possibly "Windows Photo Viewer?

  If so, see - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-default-programs#1TC=windows-7

  Either the "set your default programs or him 'associate a file type with a program" sections. "

• Missing desktop icons, system restore only a temporary fix

  Hi all, hope someone can help.  The shortcut on my desktop icons disappeared over the weekend.  Ran a system restore and they returned with the exception of the trash to recycle, thought that I could live with that.  After a time I keep the laptop, returned the next day and they all went again.  Ran to an older date system restore, they came back, but when I re - start they're all going again.  Checked the box 'show desktop' and it works in the bar side and summer menu control panel "taskbar and start to" all the boxes checked.  Have tried to re - define shortcuts, process works very well but the system usually show them.  Interestingly, the laptop starts, icons flash me momentarily, but don't show in fact once the system is clean awake.

  Ideas please
  Thank you

• missing desktop icons and reappear at the start?

  I have a desktop PC with i7 and 16 GB. It runs on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Whenever I start my PC, all the desktop icons appear normally and quickly at the beginning. Then at the end of the initialization, all the desktop icons would change the folder symbols of gray before returning to their normal color symbols, one or both. The PC works fine otherwise. So, what's up with that?

  When google, many seem to have a similar problem, but none offer a REAL solution. Care to help? Please provide only the answers that have been soundproofed/accepted as a solution to the problem.

  Hello

  It is regrettable that the steps in my previous post did not help to solve the problem. This problem could occur due to the corruption of the file system or damaged user account.

  Please follow the steps mentioned below:

  Method 1: run (SFC Scan) System File Checker because this could be a problem with corruption in the Windows system files. System File Checker is a Microsoft Windows utility that allows users to search for and restore corruptions in Windows system files. Consult the following link;

  Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-us

  Method 2:

  You can create a new user account on your computer, and then check.

• Cannot use, "save under" to save the information in the missing desktop icon

  Whenever I try to use the, "Save as" command in Word 2007 or the appearance of Windows 7 theme page to save on the Desktop icon on the left side of the page, it is impossible, because the Desktop icon disappeared completely.

  This means I have to record information in example Library\Documents, why?

  Anyone solve the problem?

  How to reset the Windows path, which should allow me, "save under" information and possibly other paths to the desktop (icon)?

  The desktop icon is normally located in the "Favorites" group at the top of the left pane. Click on the small arrow next to Favorites to show the links it contains.

  If she's really gone then you can put it to go back easily.  Open Windows Explorer, find your desktop folder, select it, drag it to the favorite icon to the top of the left pane, drop it on the Favorites.  Who put it there.  [He puts a shortcut on the desktop in the favorite group]

  Note that Favorites is extremely poorly named.  It has nothing to do with favorites, you are probably familiar with Internet Explore.  It's actually a set of shortcuts in whatever you chose to put files and its list is displayed in C:\Users\yourusername\Links if you take a look here.
