Open folders do not appear on the desktop.

I got my new computer with Windows7 installed two weeks ago.  My problem is that all of a sudden I can access is no longer the contents of all folders.  If I double click on the "computer" folder or the folder "Drive C" or anything else, I don't see anything; without opening the file appears on the screen.  However, if I look in the Task Manager, the folder I tried to open is displayed as "running."  But the folder does not appear on the screen.  It seems so that Windows Explorer is running, but does not properly.  This problem only occurs under my log-in user (which is a user of the administrator).  There are 4 other users 'Standard' on the computer and the problem does not occur on their desktop computers.

The last thing I did before this problem started to happen was to go to start-> games and I tried briefly one of the games 'free trial '. Of course, I do know for sure that the game is what has caused the problem, but it was the last thing I did before I noticed the problem.  Previously, the files opened normally.

Any suggestions?

You run any virus protection software?  If this isn't the case, I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials.  It is light, goes fast and is free from Microsoft.

If you are not infected, a possible step could be to try to use system restore to roll back to a time before the problem began.  Click Start, type 'Restore' and then select the system restore.  Choose a date before you had problems and follow the instructions.

  • After downloading an application, it does not appear on the desktop

    I downloaded a few apps and they do not appear on the desktop of the tablet.  Where are they?

    The fix was to get this 'thing' out of 'Safe Mode'.  It took my not irritable librarian to ask that question and that solved the problem.  But thanks for trying.

  • Applications do not appear in the desktop application

    I am trying to download first, but he does not appear in the apps on my desktop. When I click on download in the cloud in a browser interneet, it just opens the desktop app, and nothing happens.

    How can I get apps that aren't out there to appear so I can install them?

    Hi Mr. Fletcher.

    Welcome to the community!

    I assume you are using Windows 32-bit OS, if yes, then After effects and Premiere Pro are not compatible with it. You would need an OS 64-bit in order to work with these applications.

    You check information for the OS by right click on the computer icon work > properties and bit info will be there.

    Thank you!

  • Import of files in the folder of the Office not a not appear on the desktop.

    One day, my office was somehow deleted 80% of its elements. They were always in the desktop folder, but did not appear on my real desk.

    I found that if I drag and drop a file on the desktop, it shows well, but if I put it in the folder on the desktop, it does not appear on my desktop.

    I did a bunch of files moving and recreated the files on my desktop. However, same problem still exists.

    Help?

    Interesting! It looked like to my desktop folder was in my folder "c:\Users\mark" (my username), but he was really in my folder "c:\Users\mark\Contacts". I moved it to my ' folder typeset and all the icons on my desktop has disappeared except computers, network, trash and Mark. "

    Then, when I put a new file in the "c:\Users\mark\Desktop" folder, all missing icons appeared on my desk in a Flash, and everything seems to work again.

    Thanks - I should have dragged and deposited the desktop folder in contacts, and because he was in Contacts, record changes appear on the desktop, even though when I did drag an item on the desktop (vs the folder), he went in the end folder... Weird.

    Thank you!

  • the shortcut for the external drive icons do not appear on the desktop

    Running Windows 7 Home Premium.  None of the shortcut icons of the program (on my external hard drive) appear on the desktop.  Default icons took their place and launch the correct programs when you click it.  I tried to change individual icons in the correct program ones, but that they would not.  They all used to be there!

    I tried to reboot several times but that has not changed anything.

    The only program added or deleated recently was free archiver B1.  I uninstalled immediately after installing and do not actually use it.

    How to bring back the icons.

    Bill

    Hello Bill,

    Two possibilities come to mind. The first is that the program of the archiver to change icons, in which case you will need to reinstall the program, understand how the icons have been changed, reverse the process and then uninstall the program again. Phew. Its a lot of work, but I got a program do just this thing very to my car icons and it's the process that I had to follow to cancel his "practical work"!

    The other possibility is that his associates to make it an external drive, which is still not very good with Windows. Lets start with this possibility first. First of all, try this Fix It from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Windows_USB_diagnostics . Not fixed? Try this second difficulty: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/ . Still not fixed? Is the drive recognized by Windows - right disk size / type format?

    If the disc itself is not recognized by Windows, try this trick. Download and install the freeware Aomei Partition Assistant application, download it from here http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 - use the link Direct download only. Then once its installed, select the external hard drive, then select Properties. That's it, just by selecting the drive and choosing properties are sufficient to get Windows to recognize the drive.

    Now that the drive is recognized by Windows, has the problem of the icon "disappeared"? If the answer is still no, then I think you need to look at the program archive as a real possibility. The only way to know of course is to install the program again and look for a setting (try Configuration) where the program changes the icons of the programs.

    Post your results here and let me know how you fare.

    Kind regards

  • Icons do not appear on the desktop

    When I start my computer the colors of four windows are displayed.
    No images on the bottom or the other. I tried 'see' and 'display the icons', but it does not work
    I don't know what I am doing wrong because sometimes the icons after re-booting

    Start Firefox in Mode safe to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    To turn on safe mode

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.
    • Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If it works in Mode safe mode and normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Modules > Extensions) off and then try to find which extension is the cause by allowing an extension at a time until the problem reappears.

    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit ' (Windows: Firefox/file > quit;) Mac: ' Firefox > quit Firefox. " Linux: "Firefox/file > exit ')

  • After the last update of Windows8 file windows Explorer open but do not appear on the screen

    I already searched the net for this question, but none of the above applies to my problem.

    When I start the file Explorer in the bar of tasks or by other means, the file Explorer window starts minimized (not shown on the screen).  I checked in the file Explorer properties/shortcut/Run and I tried both normal and maximized window and file Explorer opens however Minimized windows.

    The problem is that none of these small icons will maximize (appear).

  • Why my renowned folders do not appear in the library module?

    I attended LR4 of Matt Kozlowski seminar a few months ago. He spoke do not date to organize your folders, but use a meaningful description.

    At the time of IMPORTATION, I so add metadata, keywords and rename the folder to something meaningful. He said the cold records still be found by date.

    Then... on a recent trip to NEW HAMPSHIRE, I've done some work files, imported into LR and renamed the files to import into my repertoire of PHOTOS on my laptop.

    Now that I am I export the House like a catalog, but only the dates and not the names that I gave to IMPORT for the records displayed in the library module.

    DOI now should back up the destination and rename all the files

    I must be missing something.

    I want to transfer all this work on my main computer, but I'll just go back to bad habits by date to name the files.

    Thanks in advance.

    Good Victoria... we get somewhere.

    When I right click on 2012-8-13, he takes me into the IMAGES directory > The DESTINATION NAMED @ IMPORT > and finally 2012-08-13.

    So juggling with the destination to the initial IMPORT Panel/folder creates a folder named you see in the photo library with a subfolder with the images placed in a DATE FOLDER anyway.

    I noticed on my studio computer named folders appear in the module library... it must be the subfolder box that throws me for a looper.

    All of this is a learning curve of APPLE, but I'll never go back to WINDOWS.

    The rule of a fundemental I learned the hard way on using lightroom to manage your images a few months ago is that all changes made to an image file, the folder or directory must take place in lightroom or very bad things can happen. The rest we can glean from any well written Manual of LR. There are several ways to accomplish the same task in lightroom.

    Thanks for your help (s).
