• Some user icons have disappeared from the Office

  I use a Sony Vaio laptop running Vista business with Service Pack 2.

  Earlier today, most of the icons on my desktop disappeared. Who else is shortcuts in the folder C:\USERS\PUBLIC\DESKTOP.  Those who have disappeared are those of C:\USERS\MYNAME\DESKTOP.  When I look in this file by using Solution Explorer, all the files are still present. It's just you display the icon on the desktop that is missing.

  I am connected to my usual account that has administrator privileges.  Office properties are set to "Show desktop icons" and "snap to grid".

  Earlier today, I installed an update of AVG Internet Security and performed a full scan, but can't say for sure if the disappearance of the icons has coincided with this.

  It seems that the system is linking the visible office with the files in the Public folder, but not those in my personal file.

  I tried to restore the system to the earlier dates, but this did not restore desktop layout.

  Can anyone tell how to recover? Help will be very appreciated.

  Hi Jessen

  Thanks for your reply.

  In fact, it became obvious that the registry has been damaged.  I restored the registry to a previous state by using a backup, and that solved the problem.

  Thank you for your suggestions.

  * original title - I have a big problem! all my backup files, photos, music and the icons have dissapered from my laptop! Can someone help me because I really want to get my files back. Thank you amy *.

  You must scan your system against viruses and malware.  Get www.microsoft.com/security_essentials and www.malwarebytes.org and do a full system scan with each.  Then, you may need to restore shortcuts and other thereafter.  It really depends on how messed up it.  It might be useful to take a reputable shop and have them back up the disk and fix problems.

• Modified files have disappeared from My Collections folder

  I just spent the last hours 8 selection on a hundred photographs from more than 1000 images and placed them in a Collections folder, but as I take a few images in the Collections folder they all disappeared. Not sure what I did but I quickly press the cancel key, but they did not return. Can someone tell me please on how to get the images I had in my Collections return folder? Any help is appreciated...

  Hi Nekten sorry for your frustration.

  Unfortunately, you have discovered the behavior of collections or collections 'silly' as I like to call them.

  They are little like cardboard for storage boxes - they do the job, but you have to decide what to remove and what to put in them.

  If items are removed incorrectly then the only way for them to get back in is to pack them yourself - the items themselves have no innate knowledge where they are supposed to be.

  So apart from again there is no solution here.

  However, I have a better idea for you to consider.

  Use the Smart collection.

  Smart collections are filled according to the criteria you select.

  These collections become self-referential - as long as an image contains the metadata set criteria, that it belongs to this collection.

  Can not accidentally delete a picture from a Smart collection.

  The most likely candidates for the inclusion criteria can be side to stars, labels color or key words, but all of the searchable metadata may be used as appropriate.

• I have a Seagate backup and all of a sudden all my files have disappeared from him.  My MacBook Pro does not show anything in it, but it shows that it is complete.  Hundreds of photos are missing.

  I have a MacBook Pro and recently upgraded to Yosemite.  I used the time Machine before I upgraded.  My Seagate 4 T worked very well.  Started a back-up and he started to save and quit - Time Machine says something not be checked?  and then I noticed that all my files are gone.  I have a partition separated for my Time Machine and my photos and they are all gone too.  I'm afraid to unplug the Seagate and turned off my Mac.   I see that my external hard drive is still partially used in the two partitions.  Show my photos in Lightroom with the? Mark and I have gone and looked for the files but cannot find them.  Can I stop the external hard drive?  Can someone help me?

  Your external HARD drive may have failed.  Open utility disk, then run first aid > Verify and Repair the disk.

  Ciao.

• Most of my applications disappeared from my office

  Someone used my computer and somehow most of the applications have disappeared from my office.  I don't think that anything has been downloaded.  For example I have Chrome, but who is no longer there.  IE is still there, but none of the changes I made (IE home page) is here.  A program that I have loaded (a photo editing program) is still there.  But I have several photos and they are no longer in my photos directory.

  Can you help me to return to my old setting?

  When you install a program it is a user whether option if they create a shortcut on the desktop

  The programs are probably still there, in all programs.

  The user has reset the IE home page

• Tungston E2 My calander data disappeared from my office.

  My calendar data has disappeared from my office. Hot handheld synchronization does not bring this back.

  Contact information remain on office as do anniversaries on the calendar in the area of time not at the top of the screen.

  I have all my data to my calendar on a laptop, can I use my Pocket PC to get this data and hot then synchronize with the desktop calendar to bring back data to the desktop?

  Actually, I now have data on the other laptop and want to import into the office where he has disappeared since. I will try to transfer the laptop to desktop using this method. The data will remain on the laptop when I copy the disk scan. I don't want to lose your laptop.

  The data will remain.

  To make things a little less disturbing, just do a full copy of your user account folder before performing the export.  If you use Palm Desktop 4.x, it should reside in C:\Program Files\Palm (or PalmOne) \ < your HotSync username truncated >

  Copy (and not move) the entire folder elsewhere on the computer.

• backup hd disappeared from the Office

  Today, I received a message that does not have my Time Machine backup.  While they inspected out, I find that my HD internal backup icon has disappeared from my office.  Yikes!  How find it & get it back?  I run first aid disk backup and the Info window says "not mounted."  However, he finds the disk in the finder window,

  I would add that the first aid app takes a long time and the small progress bar indicates no progress at all.  "He's been on: checking multiple related files" forever.

• reminder disappeared from the Office

  I have a relatively new computer running windows 7 pro.  Few problems. Tonight, I am home after doing something else and found that my reminder with my to-do list had disappeared from the office.  There is no error message and clicking on the icon in the toolbar them recovered.  I restarted the computer and they appeared.  I ran the SFC system, a few days ago.

  Everything else seems to work, even if today, I suddenly disconnected (e) Skype which surprised me 9latest version). I have antivirus and use Outlook.com.  I deleted temporary files, deleted cookies and didn't expect no more problems. I love these notes and can't imagine why they just disappear?

  Please don't tell me to reinstall the operating system.

  Ellen

  Sticky notes are nice but not reliable because they are easily erased or deleted because they are not permanent files,

  As another way to list these items using Notepad or Wordpad.

  Click on start / all programs / Accessories folder / Notepad. (is free) WordPad is part of the Office on I think, but it may also be listed.

• All messages have disappeared from Thunderbird Inbox.

  All of my emails have disappeared from Thunderbird Inbox. "Sent" and "Trash" messages are OK. I tried to delete the file "Inbox.msf", as some have suggested, then restarted TB, but the mailbox is still empty. My messages are apparently still in the "Inbox" file (under 'profile'), but all the gobblety-gook with loads of codes and numbers. I copy all of this mess, but don't have a clue how it back in my Inbox and make it readable. Can anyone help?

  I don't know why the size has changed... maybe I deleted something?

  I tried importing and had nothing but issues (details on my previous answer).

  I spent 3 days on this now and I'm tired. I guess I'll try using some email recovery program.

  Thanks for the help.

• My notes have disappeared from all my devices

• Some favorites have disappeared from my bookmarks bar (after the update?)

  Basically, the question says it all.

  All of a sudden a lot of my favorites have disappeared from my bookmarks bar. I can't find them anywhere.

  I used to have many of them, some in directories/folders, some 'free' - but never more than two branches down.

  If you open the dialog box (Ctrl + Shift + b) library and explore there, can you find in a strange place?

  If they're really gone, it is possible that the database file that stores the bookmarks and history is corrupted. COR - el has a few suggestions for it here: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/956965#answer-428511

  Alternatively, you can immediately make a backup copy of your folder bookmarkbackups. This folder can be placed using:

  Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.

  I suggest you copy (not move, simply copy) the folder bookmarkbackups set to another location, such as your Documents or a USB flash drive. In this way time passes, you will always have older backups to restore if necessary.
