The desktop icons have all disappeared, moved to the taskbar.
My desktop icons have disappeared. I tried to do a right click on the desktop, but nothing happens, no pop - up menu or anything like that. The desktop items have been moved to the taskbar background, so I have access to all my icons, but I'd like to come back to the office. I tried to drag items on the desktop from the taskbar on the desktop, but nothing happens. It's as if the desktop is locked. Time virus scan clean. Windows updated last night, but I don't know if that is related. Any ideas? Thank you.
Restore point:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/
Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
See you soon.

Hello
Following methods and check if that helps.
Method 1:Step 1:
Start your computer in safe mode and check if it starts very well.
Step 2:If the system starts in safe mode, then there would be a third-party software, causing the issue to occur. I wish that you start your machine in a clean boot State. Clean boot helps eliminate conflicts of third party software.
Note: Follow step 7 to your computer as usual.
Method 2:
If this does not help, you can perform System Restore in safe mode.
