Placement of file icons after backup on computer Win 7 home

My computer crashed.  Fortunately, I had it backed up and pretty much all that appeared in a folder on the desktop on top of another computer with Windows 7 that I reformatted.  I would like to move the icons in the computer and on the desktop.  I don't know where to put them.  I can't remember where they are.  They are the icons I have come down from the internet and used on the old computer.  Any suggestions?

Thank you

Carol

My best memory of the icons is that I found them on various online sites.  They were not program files.  I have in fact change an icon on the desktop through properties > change icon > search.  I opened the desktop folder and they are usable with the exception of a single folder.  So you're saying I can just move in documents that are not program files.  I think that when I move, I'll lose the one I changed because the path will be changed.  I was very happy to see that most of them arrived with the backup to put it on the new computer.  I had a few favorites I've used and have now looked through them all and see more fun that I can use.

Thank you both for your responses to help me finish my food!

  • Problems installing drivers after the replacement of Win Xp Home Ed by Win Xp pro.

    Need help.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite M70 - SR2 (bought last December), which came with Win Xp Home Ed pre-installed on it. I remove the home Ed and installed my XP pro Spk2. Now I can't get my wireless connection to communicate with my Linsys router so I can connect to internet, that failed to install the video card...
    I only managed to download and install the audio drivers and the modem drivers.
    I have downloaded the display drivers, unzipped the file but could not install them as I did with the audio drivers.
    In my device manager, I always get a yellow marke in front of:
    Controller - Eternet
    SM Bus controller-
    -Video control (VGA Compatible)
    Can someone gives instructions on how to obtain and install these drivers or where I can find the instructions.

    Thankx

    Hello

    Well, the right installation order is very important because some drivers and utilities can be installed without the other drivers.
    I recommend to follow the installation instructions and install things together.
    If you don't need something then you can remove the bone in Add & Remove software.

    To solve the problem of yellow question mark that you have to install the drivers.
    (At the beginning) chipset driver, Lan/Wlan driver, display driver.

    But if you follow the installation instructions you shouldn't t get any yellow points mark.

  • IE8 crashes after KB980182 installed on Win 7 Home Premium

    After problems with IE8 crashing and crashing Outlook Office 2007 Pro Client and Windows Explorer crash and restart perpetually, I reinstalled Win 7 Home Premium OS (custom, no upgrade, make clean) and manually installed all updates. one by one, checking for any loss of functionality after each update.

    All did, except, as expected, KB980182, cumulative security update for IE8.  Now, IE8 crashes at the opening.  None of the stuff with clean boot (msconfig) or uninstall and reinstall IE8 work.  Does anyone know of one solution other than to simply remove KB980182?

    I had the same problem initially and my event viewer did indicate errors of pagination against my hard drive, which was a Kipper.

    First check Windows Update for optional updates.  In my case, there were 2 driver update available (one for the ethernet controller) and one for the card graph.  After installing these and install all the other critical updates, I seem to be working good now.

  • I am unable to open and copy the file encrypted after formatting my computer

    I just format my computer before formatting, I take any backup of the drive c. but 1 file is encrypted on my backup now, I'm unable to decrypt this file and is also impossible to copy and open this folder. Please help me with this.

    I assume you have XP Pro and that you encrypted files by using the Encrypting File System (EFS).  When you use EFS, the these files decryption key is stored encrypted with your certificate store.  When you use EFS, you * MUST * back up your certificates or risk permanently losing access to your encrypted files.  Details are provided in this article which is required reading if you use EFS:

    "Best Practices for encrypting file system"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/223316 >

    Jump down to the paragraph "why you should back up your certificates.
    Line background here, is that you have two options to recover the access to these files.  The first is to restore your certificate from the backup of the certificate that you created by the article above before you reformat your computer.  The second option is to completely restore your previous system from a backup of the image-style you did your system before reformatting and reinstalling.  Otherwise, I fear that you have permanenty lost access to these files.

    EFS is affectionately known as the 'Recycle Bin delay' in this forum.

  • After format and install Win XP Home and SP3 why can't open the Microsoft web sites?

    Need help, guys

    I had to replace my HARD drive in my computer. I installed my Windows XP Home SP2 disc. After installation, I used my SP3 upgrade drive and my drive to upgrade to IE8. After you install all my drivers, I tried to get Windows dates and discovered that I could not access the Microsoft web sites. I get Internet Explorer cannot display this page. I tried to find out why this is happening and how to correct the situation, but have not found an answer that works yet. Can someone give me an answer to this question.

    I have another (used) computer that I formatted the HDD installed and on Windows 7 and have had no problems to access the Microsoft web sites on. It uses the same modem cable like the other computer so I guess that everything is ok with my Internet connection. This problem seems to be only with Windows XP Home SP 3.

    Think in advance for any help

    Please do not share in the whole "BOLD". Which makes it hard to read!

    Please check that SP3 is installed:

  • Can not get updates after SP2 installed on Win Vista Home

    I just installed SP2 on two computers. A Compaq laptop and the other a HP desktop computer. I can't receive any update on computers.

    Windows Update insists that the computer is up to date.

    In comparison, my own computer with Windows Vista SP2 has many applied updates.

    How can I fix this?

    Charles_W_Davis,
    If it's been a few days since you have installed SP2 and don't always get updates then you may need to reset Windows Update components.  Run the hotfix article tool, and then run Windows Update.  First, run the tool in normal mode, then test, if it is not corrected, then run it in aggressive mode.  Post back with the results.

  • Windows backup: if I delete a file on my computer, it deletes the file on my backup too?

    I recently discovered that the feature of automatic backup of windows on my computer and I'm thrilled about it (I think...). So far, my method of backup was just copy and paste all my files on an external hard drive. This method works very well, but it of a lot of time because I have to open each file and include the files or documents are new since my last backup and then drag them over my external hard drive. Very labor intensive.

    Thus, windows backup will do that for me automatically? It will recognize the new files and save them to each backup of the future that I create? And what would you say if the already-saved files are renamed or reorganized on my computer? The backup file will recognize these changes? Or he will treat them as if they are new files (and then let me with duplicates on the backup file)?

    Also, after I backed up my files on my external hard drive, I want to be able to remove some of these files on my computer (in order to free up space on my computer). But these files will then always be on my backup file?   In other words, let's say I finished my initial backup and then delete some files on my computer... on my next backup, windows will see that I have deleted some files from my computer and think I also want these deleted my backup files? Or he'll just leave these files on the backup?

    Hello

    Yes, the Windows 7 backup allows you to create the backup schedule. If you have deleted files after the backup is created, the files must be available in the Windows 7 backup. In your new scheduled backup files are added incremental basis if they available even if you delete them from your computer. All you have to do is to restore them. You can restore individual files or folder tree.

    Some useful tips on Windows backup:

    • Make sure that you create the full backup or an Image of the computer before trying to scheduled backup
    • Create a daily backup schedule, using the Panel\Backup command and restoration centre
    • Verify that your scheduled backups are created every now and then
    • Run a test backup first, just to become familiar with the Windows backup
    • Try to use an external HARD drive that is bootable for backup and create a system restore disk. Just in case you need to restore your Windows 7 full
