• How can I restore my desktop icons and the taskbar icons

  I tried to open a file with a program's .lnk and her was not recognized in the program, and now my desktop icons and my icons to the taskbar was converted into icons for the program. How to get this back? I need to know how to do this in Windows 7.

  [Moved from comments]

  There are some patches for the issue that you siding, but most of them requires registry changes that I do not say that they can cause several other problems. I recommend that you perform a system restore.

  There are two ways to perform the system restore:

  Menu start open, click Run and type cmd to open the command prompt.

  Type CD... to book only c:\.

  Type windows CD then CD System32, and then restore.

  After once, you'll find yourself in c:\ windows\system32\restore >

  Type restrui.exe press ENTER.

  Once the system restore the open window then click on next to select any available restore point.

  This process takes a few minutes to do the restore and please make sure that once this process has begun there wont be reversible and or you will lose all personal data.

  Another way to perform the system restore is to open the safe mode by clicking on F8 at startup and check the option of safe mode, then still a dialog box opens to ask the system restore and then follow the steps above.

• using the taskbar icon made a right-click menu options 'tasks' disappeared

  I'm on FF 34.0.5 running on Windows 7 Ultimate (V6.1 Build 7601, SP1). Since a few days the options of 'tasks' on the right, click on the menu of the taskbar icon disappeared. The rest is two (three times current running FF) lines: unpin and FF.
  I tried the solution proposed by https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/994990 without success. The browser.taskbar.lastgroupid keeps returning to this string "E7CF176E110C211B" as the set of users.
  I even uninstalled completely, including the folder in Program Files and my FF profile. None of the measures has helped.

  The highest browser.taskbar... has the same value after re-installation. The key containing this value is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mozilla\Firefox\TaskBarIDs, with two values "default = not defined" and "C:\\Program Files (x 86) \\Mozilla Firefox" = "E7CF176E110C211B."

  How can I return this feature?
  Thanks for the help

  Looks like your Windows file associations have to dispose. This means that XP doesn't know what to do with files by looking at the file extension (.exe for executables)., .doc for MS documents, etc.

  If you don't have it you, something done for you - most likely malware.

  Go to this site WWW by Doug Knox:

  http://www.dougknox.com/

  On the left, click on the Win XP fixes, file Association fixed and read the instructions at the top of the page.

  Download the EXE File Association Fix on your desktop, unzip the file and apply it by following the instructions at the top of the page, then to restart and test.

  Run the following scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
