• HP Start Menu and the desktop icons for HP printer Diagnostic tools

  Hello world

  I have a HP Desktop F4440 all-in-one printer and I use the Windows XP operating system. I have all the scanning software and others installed from the original HP installation disk or updates from the HP Web site for this printer. Everything works very well at the moment, but there is a small problem. The HP icon shortcuts for the Menu start-up and functions for the printer changed to a generic icon at a time given to these two places after the software installation CD was used by me to install the printer programs or desktop icon HP to utilities "Diagnostic Tools HP printer" original. It works fine otherwise, when I want to go check something on the Tools of diagnosis HP printer or HP Solution Center, but the HP icon changed to a generic at a time for a reason unknown, inexplicable. I don't have no changes to my system until the problem occurred to my knowledge other casual upgrade for the operating system or install a new windows update or HP software updates or restart the computer, but some schooner point after one of these upgrades, HP put to date or restart the HP start menu and desktop icons time replaced by a generic.

  Can someone tell me how I can recover the original HP icon and get her back Amendment? It was an icon on the web since the HP printer Diagnostics utility or function is based on the web. Is there a way I can save a copy of just the file on my computer icon so that if it goes back to that generic again once I can more easily change what it is supposed to be? I thank very you much for your help and advice.

  Hi there yoseph13,

  What has happened to me too, but after a windows update. Half the icons on my desktop have been affected. I hope that this fix works for you as well. Right-click on the icon. Go to properties. Click Change icon. Select the icon and click ok then apply and ok again. If the icon does not appear, you will need to navigate to the folder of the software and select the application.

  Good luck!

• SYSTEM authorization to remove the desktop icons?

  I just created a second user account on my laptop Win7 Home Premium. When I opened the new account first, there are the desktop icons for programs I don't want on the desktop (I do not want those who use the new account to easily access these programs). When I tried to move them to the trash, I got a notice that I need "authorization SYSTEM" to continue. Then, I changed the account to an administrator account to see if that would work. There can be no. I got the same message. How to remove these icons on the desktop?

  Thank you.

  Hi John,.

  Please log in as administrator before you can remove the icon.

  Log in as administrator. Once you are on the desktop screen, press Windows + R to open run.

  

  Today, Type C:\Users\ access then the username folder that you want to change.

  

  Open the Desktop folder and delete the icon you want.

  

  Kind regards

• Each program is opened by realplayer and all icons changed to the realplayer icon in windows 7

  I was trying to make my player realplayer default but now, each program is opened by realplayer and all icons changed to the realplayer icon

  The problem description, I understand that the program on the computer is opened by Realplayer and all icons changed to the Realplayer icon.

  File associations are used by Windows to open a file automatically with an application which can be read when the file is double-clicked. Is the file association is corrupted you can deal with this kind of behavior.

  I suggest you refer to the article help to correct the file associations in Windows 7 to have a file open in the program of your choice.

• The desktop icons and taskbar are at least three minutes to load when I start the computer.

  Original title: problem with the desktop icons

  All of a sudden when I start my computer, the icons on the desktop and icons at the bottom of the clock of the take at least three minutes to load, and before that time, they used to load in a few seconds.  Also, I have no problem with the computer start.  Any help to solve this problem will be greatly appreciated.

  According to the specifications of your system, hard drives on your system are disks IDE (not the SATA drives).

  Sometimes the Interface IDE mode can change from DMA mode to PIO mode and when that happens, things sudden. run very slowly, but it is easy to check and adjust if you need to.

  Here's how:

  If you are using IDE drives, use Device Manager to check the channel Transfer Mode IDE is set to something like DMA if available (depends on your hardware) and the slow PIO mode.
    
  Don't forget: PIO is the slowest, DMA is faster.

  It is easy to check and usually easy to fix and the mode would not have changed in itself, so if she changed to PIO, change it to DMA, and then understand why it changed and fix it.

  To launch the Device Manager console, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  %SystemRoot%\System32\devmgmt.msc

  Click OK.

  Expand the section controller IDE / ATA to see your IDE channels. Each right click and choose Properties for each channel that has a tab advanced settings, determine the Transfer Mode. There are usually 4 channels to check in a desktop computer, maybe less for laptops.

  Faster selection will always be a kind of selection DMA (usually: DMA DMA5, UDMA, etc.).  If it is PIO, change it to DMA.
    
  If you are unsure of what you see after return of help and advice.
    
  If you make settings, restart and check the settings again to make sure that any change stick.
    
  What may have caused the change?

• How can I prevent the desktop icons move arround whenever a different profile is open?

  Hi JexterMaxim,

  1. what type of user accounts that you use?
  2. don't you log on as an administrator?
  3. don't you make changes to the agreement of the issue occur?

  When you install a program, you will need to select the installation option in particular only to user accounts. Not in user accounts. You can try the following steps.

  Desktop shortcuts are stored in one of two places:
  (a) in c:\Users\Public\Desktop. These shortcuts are shared and are visible to the user ever.
  (b) in c:\Users\UserName\Desktop. These shortcuts are not shared and are visible to the user.

  When you right click on a shortcut, and then click general, then you can see where this particular shortcut is stored.

  To make a shortcut of the group a) visible to yourself, do this method:
  a. drag the shortcut to the side with the right button of the mouse.
  b. Select "copy". You have now two seemingly identical shortcuts.
  c. delete the original shortcut.

• The desktop icons move after reboot

  original title: the desktop icons

  I have Windows 7 and when I manually move some icons on the left side of the screen to the right of the screen... they stay there.  I entered the office properties and click on the appropriate buttons.  Everything's fine until I restart the computer.  The strange thing is that only a couple of icons that were positioned on the right side are now on the left side.  I and then pull them to the right and everything is OK until the next reboot and we start over again.  What I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

  Tom

  Hi tom sk,.

  Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum.

  Check if "Auto Arrange icons" is enabled.

  If so, uncheck it and move icons, restart the computer and check.

  Your Antivirus software could be parasitic. Try temporarily disable you security software and check.

  If the problem persists, install a third-party program in windows that govern funds layout and positions for your that you can restore it later.
