My icon names are now white on a blue background, after 'copy link location' of the web.

Recently (stupidly) just clicked on an image in ebay & selected copy the location of the link so as not to lose my search.  After you have copied on the desktop there is no URL link, and all the icon names are now in white on a blue background. System Restore does not recognize the changes. Please can someone help? I have Windows XP Home Edition. Thank you.

  • My files, folders and element names are colored which appear in blue, how to change them back to black?

    My files, folders and element names are colored which appear in blue, how to change them back to black?

    The names of files (text) for example appear blue, as if it were a hyper link, where normally they should be black. What can I do to change black?

    In general, folders with names of blue files appear in this way because the compression of files and folders is enabled for this file or folder.  To return only the names of files and folders back to the dark, disable compression of files and folders that show in blue now.  Right-click on the folder, select Properties, and then on the Advanced button and that is the option.

  • My Windows Live Mail is sorted in alphabetical order by family name, but now, when I add a new contact, it is positioned at the top of the list instead being placed in the right place alphabetical.

    My direct mail is sorted in alphabetical order by family name, but now, when I add a new contact, it is positioned at the top of the list instead being placed in the right place alphabetical.  How to load the list of contacts to organize all contacts, including contacts, in alphabetical order by family name?

    E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

    My direct mail is sorted in alphabetical order by family name,

    It is not clear what you mean by this statement.

    • There is an option in the contacts window in kind (names) of > name -is that what you mean?
    • Or that, when you open / switch to the contacts window, you see a list sorted by last name?
    • Or that when you click on to... or start typing in the to... box in a message composition window, you see a list ('contact selector') sorted by family name?

    Only in contact with an e-mail address will appear in the "Chooser". The list includes names in alphabetical order. For contacts with a first name and a registered name , the list will be sorted based on the preference granted to sort by in the Contacts window. Contacts with multiple email addresses will appear once for each address with the address in brackets after the name.

    Name is a special value built by WLMail contact data fields. It will consist of the first match found during the analysis of the data fields in the following order:

    1. Nickname
    2. First name + last name (in the order specified to sort by in the Contacts window)
    3. First name or last name
    4. Company
    5. E-mail address
    As you start typing in of... box, WLMail will present a list of matching entries in your contacts list. You can start typing username, first name, first name, company, e-mail address to a contact or any significant word in the Notes field for this contact. So, if you type bil, for example, the list that appears will include
    • any person whose nickname starts with Bil, e.g. Billyboy
    • any person whose first name begins with Bil, e.g. of Bilbo Baggins
    • anyone whose first name begins with Bil, for example Jim Bilko
    • everyone whose company name starts with Bil, e.g. Billingsgate Market
    • everyone with an address of e-mail from bil bil or just after a period or the ' @' symbol, for example "the bilbo at hotmail dot com" or "jim to billingsgate dot com" or "jim.bilko at hotmail dot com.
    • all categories whose name contains a word starting with bil

    If this does not solve your problem, please post your question in the forum dedicated to contacts in Windows Live Mail.

  • Have icons on the desktop that are now shortened mode and can not change them or delete them.

  • Update of Firefox, and now all of the web pages and icons are inflated. How do I put back it as it was?

    Update of Firefox, and now all of the web pages and icons are inflated. How do I put back it as it was?

    Hello

    Firefox on Windows is now after display, scaling options that can make the biggest text on screens at high resolution.
    You can adjust the resolution of your screen.
    To change it follow these steps:

    • Type of topic: config in the Firefox address bar and hit the Enter key.
    • If the warning that this might void your warranty , click I'll be careful, I promised.
    • Search for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx

    • Double-click layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to edit its value. The default value is - 1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to 1.0 to run as in previous versions of Firefox.

    If necessary, further adjust the value of 0.1 or 0.05. Values between 1.0 and around 0.5 to reduce the size of the elements. Use a value greater than 1.0 to increase the size. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase the font size of the 125% to account for the default DPI setting in Windows 8. Check the value that you enter. Definition of a value that is too small will take everything away and too high will explode things.

    If the web pages should always be adjusted so you can watch the extension Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint .

    To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the extension of theme font & size changer .

    This solve your problems? Please report to us!

    Thank you.

  • The office is now white with no icons

    original title; White desktop

    My office is suddenly white and all the icons disappeared.  How can I return it to how it was?

    My office is suddenly white and all the icons disappeared.  How can I return it to how it was?

    No guarantees. Some suggetions. Please try the order that they appear. Check the office after each suggestion.

    1. run a full scan to make sure that the machine is clean.

    2. the word 'suddenly' suggests this is a recent problem.
    Please do a system restore. Choose a date on which the Office was normal as your restore point.

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    3. restore explorer.exe
    Press CTRL + Alt + keys Delelete > click Task Manager > at the top, click Procesess tab, right-click on explorer.exe > click on end process > click Applications tab > click New task... > in the Open box, type explorer.exe > Ok

    4 do a file system check to find corrupt files. He will try to fix it if it is found.

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/66978-system-files-SFC-command.html

    5 do a disc check to search for defective and other sectors. He will try to fix it if it is found.

    Start button > in the search box, type cmd > look at the top left, right-click on cmd.exe > click on Run As Administrator > press the Enter key.
    Now, you will see a black and white screen. It's your cmd window.
    At the flashing prompt type this... chkdsk/f/r
    It is preferable that you copy and paste that above the line of command to avoid the misspelling. There is a space between 'chkdsk' and ' / '.

    Press the Enter key.
    The window will say something like... (I'm paraphrasing)... he can't do it now, but it will restart. You want to do, o/n.
    Type 'y' as in Yes > press ENTER.

    Output of cmd window.
    Restart your computer > system will start the disk check.
    It will take a while... a long time. Sit back and wait. Do not turn it off.
    The system will restart when the disk check is complete.

  • all the icons on the desktop are now all the same since I put the fake program to all *.ink files by default.

    desktop icons and the *.ink files are all set for an icon, even if in the designated program properties are correct. It is useless to try to change or restore the icon (in properties), because it does not react.

    How to get back to their originally assigned program icons?

    Hello

    . INK files are usually created on a Tablet PC

    Have you done something that their renamed? By the program files you mean DATA or the actual programs
    What should you run? Data files can be renamed to the correct extensions.

    Hi tao41,

    The option "lock the taskbar" has been disabled. Right-click on a vacant space in the taskbar, the start clcok, button and check to see if there is a check mark next to ' lock the taskbar '. For the moment, it should not be a tick it. Now, move your mouse over the taskbar, hold down your left mouse button and 'drag' the taskbar at the bottom of your screen. The taskbar should now appear at the bottom of the screen. Once you did a right click on the taskbar again, as before, in a place vacant between the Start button and the clock and, in the drop-down menu, click on the option "lock the taskbar" to place a check mark by his side. The taskbar is now locked and cannot move.
