Picture of the desktop is not displayed

whenever we do a reboot initiated by us, or automatically updates, for some reason, we lose our image of the desktop. All the desktop icons are in place, but our chosen picture disappeared.

    Hi subhshy001,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Windows answers Forum community!

    Try this if you do not have

    Windows Explorer to create the folders and shortcuts in your document folder, drag and drop them on your desktop.

    If you have completed the steps and was not even useful,

    Follow these steps:

    Try to create a shortcut and sending it on the desktop.

    (1) open: Start Menu ,.
    (2) right-click: Internet Explorer icon .
    (3) select: send to > desktop (create shortcut).

    There should be a shortcut on the desktop .

    Make sure that the "show desktop icon" has a check against it

    OR

    Just click on the empty part of the desktop, choose new > then select the folder to create. Right click on this folder , select Rename it.

    If the steps above do not work then:

    You can scan your computer for malware.

    You can download, install and update anti-malware free of your favorite search engine and find malware.

    To help resolve this problem, use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. open an elevated command prompt . To do this, click Start , click principally made programs , Accessories , right-click guest , and then click run as administrator .  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow .
    2. type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow (Yes there is a space after sfc) the sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions. This analysis do take some time to complete.

  • Create a new folder or change the name of a folder on the desktop does not display until I use the refresh command

    After changing the name of a folder or a file on the desktop or by creating a new folder (and then hit enter), the folder or the text file doesn't change - until I use the Refresh command. Then, the text shows correctly and the movements of folder or a file in a place open to the top left of the screen. Before using "Refresh" the folder or the file will not open. When I save a file on the desktop is not visible until the 'Refresh' is used. Sometimes, but not always the same behavior occurs in other folders as well.  I use Win XP SP3. Can someone please shed some light on this?

  • pictures disappear, the cards are not displayed

    Some dysfunction in views - appear in fact 2 errors:
    1. on some Web pages, image appears any time but then replaced by the loading symbol, reloading repeat this sequence.
    2. in addition, cards are generally not displayed but remain empty (no loading symbol) right from the beginning.
    I guess it has something to do with settings, modules or plugins, but could not do by disabling their functioning. It is not the site itself, as the pictures show well with the same version of Firefox on another PC.
    Thanks for help.

    I finally solved the problem. It had to do with the profile of the user - after reset everything works fine. Good luck for those who also have this problem!

  • Icons, twitter bolts on the site are not displayed?

    According to the bounding, icons pictures, twitter bolts on the site are not displayed?
    Help please?

    Many sites now use downloadable fonts to create their icons instead of the traditional image files. So, there are some Firefox settings that might be a factor, as well as the NoScript extension, if you use this (blocked objects).

    (1) in the dialog box fonts Advanced, unchecking the checkbox which allows the site to use its own choice of fonts. To check that:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > content > button "Advanced".

    Here you must "allow pages to choose their own fonts.

    (2) on the deactivation of fonts downloaded in: config. It's less likely, or you remember probably not, but here's how to check on it.

    • In a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.
    • In the search box at the top of the list, type or paste the gfx and make a pause so that the list is filtered
    • If gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled preference is bold and user, set false, double-click it to return it true.

    This seems useful.

  • The photos are not displayed correctly in Firefox, but displayed correctly in Safari and Chrome G.

    Display of Firefox about that clients site problems:
    http://gardenia.dk/collections/collection/

    The photos are not displayed correctly in Firefox - only a very little bit of the image is visible, bad scale (displayed correctly in Safari and Google Chrome).

    Can I do anything to make it work in Firefox, too?

    Kind regards

    You do not see the thumbnail, but the big picture because the width of the thumbnail image is set to 500.

    Add code to the userContent.css file.

    The file userChrome.css (UI) customization and userContent.css (Web sites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Tildes to appear in looking at the pictures on the desktop

    Hi - another quick question... I had a T3i and mostly used the telephoto 55-250, which is 3 1/2 years.  I started noticing when I looked at my pictures on my big screen there was always a 'tilde' darker at the top left of the photo... I never noticed until what I looked at the pictures on the desktop screen, so don't know if that's a problem with the camera or the lens itself.  I have a lens 75-300 also but haven't really checked yet to see if it shows up through a different lens.

    Most of the time, it's "croppable", but not something I want to do, and I also want to make sure that this is not a serious problem.

    What could cause this?  If it IS the LENS, what is the solution?

    I thank very you much for any advice.

    Thank you very much.  I appreciate it.

  • Impossible to change the wallpaper, the location of the image does not display images.

    Original title: photo location not display images

    I'm trying to access my pictures folder and select a background for my office. But when I search for the location of the image and select the folder of the screen does not display images, even if the pictures are present in the folder. The screen shows only 'solid colors.
    I moved to the location of my pictures, sounds and video to another folder. Then, the default folders are different.
    In Explorer when I just click on the photos forlder ther is a location tab saying my it's the default folder.
    One last thing.
    If I go to explore and navigate to the folder my pictures, right click on a picture and select 'Set as wallpaper', then it displays the content and the folder.

    Any ideas?

    And that's a good reason to not mess with the registry.
    I have used a tweak registry to hide the libraries in the Explorer navigation pane. Once I've restored it Windows seems to have found the files for my photos. I then re - hid libraries and everything seems to work ok.

  • I created show and hide features in InDesign I want to export to interactive PDF format. These functions work when seen in Acrobat on the desktop, but not on iPad/Tablet - why?

    I created show and hide features in InDesign I want to export to interactive PDF format. These functions work when seen in Acrobat on the desktop, but not on iPad/Tablet - why?

    Why? Most likely because the PDF Viewer on the Tablet is too stupid to deal with show/hide functionality.

    You could try PDF Expert of Readdle on qpdf Notes Pro on Android and iOS devices.

    Depending on how the show/hide was created during the export of InDesign, it can work in viewers. Otherwise, you will need to open PDF files in Acrobat and edit features show/hide something more digests of PDF device viewers.

    BTW, you will encounter the same issues with the PDF display components in web browsers.

    I hope this can help.
