Missing Desktop tab

• The Desktop tab in the display properties freezes computer

  I have Windows XP, SP3. When I try to change the wallpaper by clicking on the Office tab lock. Nothing happens. If I try to close the display properties, I get a message saying that he does not, with RunDLL32.exe in the title bar. The other tabs in display properties work fine. I've run several virus and malware detection programs and they found nothing. No idea what's happening, and how can I solve this problem?

  I had the same problem. Finally I started to think: why did this happen? I searched the registry for "Wallpaper" and maybe one of the proposed mentions it's a timeout to 20000 in relationship with the module property of the wallpaper (which units I don't know), so I left the display properties > Desktop tab in the State "suspended" over lunch. When I came back to it the destop by bike through the regular options (so you can choose one of them). I then went through and find my own picture of a hummingbird bird, and it works fine now. Without doubt, I deleted the picture bird Hummingbird long ago and had forgotten this is the desktop wallpaper.

  I hope this helps.

• Change the wallpaper but missing view tab.

  I'm changing the wallpaper, but I do not have a view tab. Until I click on display in settings, this happens error loading theme "c:\documents and document\my theme.theme preferred owner is not a valid topic.

• How to restore the Desktop tab in the file Explorer?

  

  How to restore the desktop tab? It should be under Favorites and especially the downloads, but I still have to find a way to restore it.

  Hi JPL95,

  I do not remember how it works under Windows 8 (I'm under 8.1), but there has been no change between the two versions, so I plan:

  • Open the explore
  • Right-click on Favorites
  • Choose to restore favorite links

• Tab 'Apps' missing desktop creative cloud (Mac)

  I've seen some of the other post, but none of them does not seem to help, so I'll just ask.

  I just downloaded ACC (v3.4.1.181) on my macbook pro (v10.11.1), but whenever I open it my 'apps' tab in the upper part is missing.

  I tried to re - install several times, I tried to restart my computer but nothing seems to work.

  I've seen some people say that we must go in the program folder files and remove or change some. But all these tips has been on PC and I'm not sure how you make to these files on a mac.

  Thank you very much for your help!

• missing desktop

  How can I get my office, tool bar and the start menu back on windows vista. all I have is a black screen. I can't right click on that screen that nothing happens

  Hello

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If so you can try the configuration - control panel
  The Device Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click the driver UPDATE - then
  Right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is
  CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
  by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
  Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
  Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide

• System restored automatically after the installation of updates & a few missing desktop icons.

  Original title: same set of updates on both computers due to different problems, one problem being a system restore.

  I have two Windows 7 computers in my house.  They all have two problems after installing updates a month ago.  The problem for 'Computer 1' is a bigger problem than the problem of the "Computer 2".  2 computer problem not really seems to be a problem now, but I'll give you the information for comparison purposes. Sorry for the length of this post - I am trying to be thorough.

  1 COMPUTER DETAILS:

  News of the computer: Dell Studio 1745 laptop computer running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, six months at the time of the problem, now age of seven months. It came with Norton pre-installed, never used and uninstalled.  Trend Micro Internet Security installed at the beginning of the use of the computer.  Analyses Micro trend came clean.

  Background: set up with a single account (Administrator, of course) and after a few days of putting in place computer, said ale user account for everyday use.  Computer is configured to warn me before downloading/installation of updates of Windows, with permission for each type of account to install Windows updates.

  While in the standard account, I welcomed these download/install updates and was prompted to restart the computer.  I was done with the computer, so I just closed instead of restart.  According to "Your update history Review", it's updates and they were all successful:

  Update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB980846)
  Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB982670)
  Update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB982519)
  Update Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 for x 64 systems (KB982526)
  Cumulative update for Media Center for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB981078)

  After you turn on computer back, everything seemed normal.  I opened Firefox and I got a notice that Firefox has an update is available, a standard user cannot.  Unlike some programs, there is no popup to sign as an administrator, so I went to start > switch user and signed as an administrator.  (There was no update of Firefox at this point - just a switch single user.) That's where the problem appeared: instead of normally load the admin Office, I had to wait while Windows configured my desk (it's new)... wait... wait... wait... wait... BAM!  Your computer has been successfully restored * insert date here * (I don't remember what it was - January of this year, perhaps - because I was so incredulous that it happened and I continued to watch the game "successfully restored").  I do not have the computer to eat, and it don't has not asked me if I wanted to restore it.  He just did, just on its own initiative, when I went on the admin account.  A bunch of shortcut icons are missing from the Office of the admin acct and the ACCT. standard, and wallpaper to the admin account has been changed.  I am not absolutely sure if nothing else was touched.

  I have searched online to try to understand why it happened, and I remember well from my only find, is that if I went to the restoration of the system, there will be an option to cancel it, but I don't see such an option. So I told the computer to eat on a few days to a week before that updates.  It doesn't seem to help.  Shortcut icons are still missing.  Looked at the update history and it shows the five latest updates as being installed successfully, but Windows Update tells me that I need to these five updates AND this time, the little check marks are only already there on four of the five updates listed.  (The first time, the little checkmarks were already there for all five.)  This is the update that is NOT now pre-checked:

  Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB982670)

  Do not reinstall the five updates.  I don't know if I should jump install them again, or if I should install only the
  now, four are already "pre-checked."  I'm very hesitant to install KB982670, because this update seems to be the likely cause of the problem given the fact that it is already pré-coché in the Windows and the following information updates for computer 2.

  Since I installed the latest updates for 1 computer with no apparent problems:

  X 64-July Windows malicious software removal tool (KB890830) 2010
  Update security for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB2032276)

  NEWS ON COMPUTER 2:

  The computer news: Systemax desktop running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, a month at the time of the problem, now age of two months.  It has not come with any pre-installed antivirus.  Trend Micro Internet Security installed at the beginning of the use of the computer.  Analyses Micro trend came clean.

  Reminder: Set up immediately with an admin account and a standard account for everyday use.  Computer has been set to automatically download and install updates for Windows, but is about to inform me first.

  At the time of the problem above with the laptop, desktop computer has been enabled.  As all loading,.
  an error message came that there was some kind of issue with the .NET framework.  At another person asked if he knew what was up with that, and it didn't.  Did not note the specific message, thinking he would tell me again if there was a real problem.  I thought it could have been some kind of Windows hiccups when starting the computer, not even knowing about update problems.  I have yet to see this message.  After the number of laptop (computer 1), I took a peek at the desktop computer (computer 2) to check that Windows Update and I saw that an update is available, which is the referenced above same update that the notebook had already the check mark in its box (KB982670), which gives me the choice to check the little to install it.  Very curious, since, as already mentioned, the computer has been configured to automatically download and install Windows updates.  Looked at the update history, and it has already downloaded and installed the other four updates that the laptop has been.  Changed the automatic Windows Update setting to warn me before you download and install updates.  I have not installed the missing update.  Said the only other person in the House who would probably bother install updates to not install it.

  A month later, 2 computer has a notification from Windows update that 21 or 22 updates are available (as a result, by clicking on the icon of the trial of Microsoft Office).  The update not installed a month ago is no longer on the list, and update history shows as having been installed a few days before, apparently because someone else in the House must have thought it looked like a good idea.  I installed all the 'important' updates and have not seen any more problems with computer 2.

  BACK TO THE COMPUTER 1:

  Yes, is there anyone with ideas on how to get 1 computer back to its state before the 5 updates listed above, and what to do about to reinstall some or all of them, I hope, without more problems, for example a random food system does not happen?  I have a feeling I will say that the random system restoration do not occur, but he did.

  Thanks for any help.

  System Restore deals only system files... Although it is always a good idea to have backups in place - always.

  However, you can try and clean this system first.

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find.  Reboot when necessary.  (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

  Check the system files for corruption:

  Use the utility from the command line with the variable SCANNOW SFC and a Windows XP CD (or the i386 directory) to analyze the integrity of the system protected all files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

  Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in.  Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.)  You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

  You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

  Do a house cleaning and the dust of this hard drive:

  You can free up disk space (will also help get rid of the things that you do not use) through the following steps:

  Windows XP should take between 4.5 and 9 GB * with * an Office suite, editing Photo software, alternative Internet browser (s), various Internet plugins and a host of other things installed.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

• 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

• Missing location tab in the display properties file

  Trying to move folders user since the boot partition to a partition on another disk drive, I used Windows Explorer to select the folder and then choose the properties option and the tab location.  This works for some files but not others.  In the screenshot below, you will see that there is no tab location for my folder of music among users, but there is a tab of Acronis.  Is it because I made a backup of the folder Acronis earlier?  If this is not the case, why is there no tab location.

  Because I move the user files to reduce the size of the boot partition to fit comfortably on a disk solid state drive (SSD), I need to be certain that future additions and actually records the files go to the partition on another drive.  How can I determine that I have this change of location made correctly?  I don't want to install the SSD and suddenly discover that data download, Document, music, photos and videos are always written to the boot partition?

  You can check and change the relocation of user folder in the registry.  I also had to make what I screwed up moving my music - your missing tab folder implies that you did the same thing.

  See my post in http://answers.microsoft.com/message/c538bb2b-6800-45d0-b39a-31444b2c530e of Section 1 of my post deals with the standard way of doing [what you have done already].  Section 2 describes the audit & changing everything in the registry.

  I can't comment on the question of Acronis you inquires also.

• 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.
