Most recent Windows 7 Upgrade has eliminated all my desktop icons.
I still have the folder on the desktop with link files, but they are not displayed on the desktop.
The upgrade occurs around 14/01/2011, but I hibernate a lot, so I don't know exactly the date at which the upgrade has been loaded on my computer.
A Windows Update should not cause this problem. See if it suits it: right-click on the desktop and click on view > show desktop icons . Boulder computer Maven

After that WSUS installed and downloaded the most recent Windows XP and 7 updates, we encountered the following error:
The Web page of the Intranet being viewed in Internet Explorer (8 or 9) is on SERVER_A
and the page contains a link to a file on a network share on the Serveur_B, making the href path something like
'http://SERVER_B/myShare/myDocument.doc '.
... then it does NOT work.If the Intranet Web page being read in IE (8 or 9) SERVER_A on
and the page contains a link to a file on SERVER_A, making the href path something like
'http://IP..ADDRESS/myDocument.doc '.
... then it does not work.Before these updates, the system worked flawlessly. We try to identify the update that caused this problem, but 28 of them fell on a Tuesday. (22/11/2011). These questions are the same with IE8 or IE9 and WindowsXP and Windows7.
Has anyone seen this problem?
Thanks, Jim

All my desktop icons disappeared from my Windows 7 Desktop and toolbar on the bottom is misssing
All my desktop icons disappeared from my Windows 7 Desktop and toolbar on the bottom is misssing. all I get is my pic of screensaver. I can't draw anything.
Oh! If you think it's a Virus/Malware then take your HARD drive internal to another machine and have it is scanned with a good Antivirus updated. If nothing else works the hard way is to format your machine.

BlackBerry Smartphones most recent message is displayed when you open the message icon
I'm trying to find a way to get the most recent message displayed when I open the default message icon. Is there a way?
I know that if I discover a message and then exit the application message that when I go back to the messages that the last of them, I've seen is one that is display everything first.
Thank you.
Hi and welcome to the forums!
I noticed as well, that is not an option for him.
If you notice when you go into a folder, then exit and return, the display
isn't that exactly where you left it. The display does not start at the top of the file.
Same thing with the messages.
This causes many people to swear that they lack icons and new messages.
I just read the message and give a quick blow to the current date.
In this way, it is at the top of the queue when I get back.
I don't think even on this, no more, just reflex.
Thank you

Hello Kenneth Pincus,
You can create a new profile on the computer and if the desktop icons stay on their position. If this is not the case, the other profile is corrupt. To create a new user profile, you can see the article mentioned below for the procedure.

This issue just started. Whenever I have turn off my monitor and then turn it back on, all my desktop icons are completely reorganized. This happens when my system goes into power saving mode, or whenever I have turn off the monitor. Even if I turn it back on just 5 seconds later, all of my icons are not where they were previously. Help!
Suggestions:
1 a simple way:
. Right click on desktop > view > uncheck Auto arrange > check snap to grid.2. in a more elaborate way and actually a better way. I use this method I have over 150 shortcuts etc on my desk. I can't afford to have shortcuts/icons, rearranging themselves. I won't be able to find anything, if they do.
Here is the tutorial:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/save-and-restore-desktop-icon-layout-in-Windows-Vista/Note: The method is not perfect, you can, after a while, have one or 2 icons on the spot. But it's easy to fix.

all my desktop icons were gone I have not all documents, photos etc frpm a user account
Original title:
User accounts
I have 3 user accounts on my welcome screen which is admin. normally, I click on my own account. When I made the other day all my desktop icons went I have all the documents, pictures, etc. I though I had lost them up to what I went to c/users/selected my user account and everything is there. I seems the account that I click the home screen is not a link to my account?
Please can someone help?
I tried to restore to an earlier date that did not work.
When you create a new user, the directory will not present until you connect for the first time this new user. The fast way so disconnect and connect under the newly created user. After that, the folder would be present.
The way alternative copy of the files on an external drive and copy then back also works, but there are also that you connect as long as this new user to do this.
The top of the default user folder account Security page is [heart] to this user and administrators only (that's why the lock symbol). You should be able to bypass this security, if you are signed in with an account that has administrator privileges. Otherwise, you will need to log on as the owner of this folder, right-click on the folder-> Security (tab) and change the security to allow access by other users.
HTH,
