• Show hidden/missing of the desktop icons

  original title: hide the desktop icons

  Hide the icons on desktop on Windows 7 seems a fairly common theme in these forums, but I still have to find a solution that works. The standard response is to right click on the desktop, click view, and then remove the checkmark "show desktop icons". To do this I have to go through the process, not once but twice. After signing and signature later back on I have to repeat this procedure. Tutorial Windows gives the impression that removing the "Show desktop icons" check will keep these icons are displayed until you handed the check mark. This isn't the case for me. Miss me how crucial link in this puzzle?

  Thank you very much.

  No matter how many new accounts are created, one of them must be considered with the administrator account and corruption is obviously attached to her.

  Incorrect answer.  You can have hundreds + administrator accounts.  There are still only * one * original built-in Administrator account.  If every account you create ends with this issue, then something is corrupt overall.  If the problem is only for a user account once you make them an administrator - I'd guess malware infestation can only be solved in the long term by a format and a new installation of the system and all of the affected software.

  When you create a new account - copy less.  Ignore the suggestion to Microsoft article.

  What you want to copy is: Desktop, Favorites and Documents on the Start Menu.  Leave everything else at the moment.

  Let me be as accurate as possible...

  If your old account user was named "GoodbyeDolly" and your new account is "HelloDolly", you will copy the following (after creating and logging into the new "HelloDolly" administrator-level account).

  Copy everything under:
  C:\Users\GoodbyeDolly\Favorites
  TO
  C:\Users\HelloDolly\Favorites

  Copy everything under:
  C:\Users\GoodbyeDolly\Desktop
  TO
  C:\Users\HelloDolly\Desktop

  Copy everything under:
  C:\Users\GoodbyeDolly\Documents
  TO
  C:\Users\HelloDolly\Documents

  Copy everything under:
  C:\Users\GoodbyeDolly\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
  TO
  C:\Users\HelloDolly\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

  Nothing else at this time.  NOTHING.  Not a single file.  Not a single setting.  Do nothing else for the new account in terms of trying to get stuff from the old account.

  You * will * need to configure your homepage (s) Internet.  You should know where your previously saved word, excel, and other office documents.  You must assign the account 'HelloDolly' his own password.  There may be dozens of other customizations that can be (will be) different for each user of a computer that you * will * have to do.  Wallpaper, computer sounds when you do certain things, the disposal of the office icons themselves, the order of the start menu, which is visible on the taskbar and how and when, etc.

  If your question is not more with this method - come back and let us know.

• on registration of the desktop icons are not displayed

  Registration using Windows XP, the desktop icons do not appear.

  You see only your background image and the wallpaper?

  Miss all your desktop icons and you don't see the taskbar at the bottom of the screen or are simply missing icons and you can see the taskbar at the bottom?

  Check the simple things first.  Right-click on an open space on your desktop, choose Arrange icons by and make sure the option show desktop icons has a check mark next to it.  This will work if you don't miss you that the desktop icons, but still see the Start button and the taskbar.  If you are missing as the Start button and the taskbar, which isn't your problem.

  If only you can see your wallpaper background picture and don't see the desktop icons and no start button or taskbar, this means that the explorer.exe program does not run (and it must be running) or the explorer.exe program are usually afflicted.  A good way to think about at the moment, it is that the process explorer.exe "is" your desktop.

  If this is the case of malware in general prepares.

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your version of XP and the Service Pack?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  Sometimes your anti malware program to quarantine (and indeed remove) your file explorer.exe (or other critical files on the XP system) if it finds that the file is infected.  The file may really be infected, but you can know for sure and then reconsider your anti malware options.

  First, you need to get your work desk in order to have room for manoeuvre, then you can solve your problem of potential malware.

  Of your background image, press Ctrl-Alt-Del and open Task Manager.

  Look at the processes tab and if the process explorer.exe is not running, start it as follows:

  In Task Manager, click file, new task, and in the Open box, enter:

  %windir%\explorer.exe

  Click OK and see if get you your office.  If you get an error, we need to know what it says.

  If explorer.exe is already running in the processes tab, it is likely that the object of the affection and will need to be replaced (which is not difficult).

  If you notice that the explorer.exe process is already running in the Task Manager, highlight the explorer.exe process, and then click end process to stop and start a new explorer.exe process as described above.

  If things look right now, your system is still not fixed, but it should be enough usable so now you can fix it.

  I would start with these scans:

  Perform scans for malware first, then these scans by operating clean, difficulty of problems:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  Please report back with information about your system and your results if you need additional assistance.

• 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.

• 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
