• The desktop icons move after reboot

  original title: the desktop icons

  I have Windows 7 and when I manually move some icons on the left side of the screen to the right of the screen... they stay there.  I entered the office properties and click on the appropriate buttons.  Everything's fine until I restart the computer.  The strange thing is that only a couple of icons that were positioned on the right side are now on the left side.  I and then pull them to the right and everything is OK until the next reboot and we start over again.  What I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

  Hi tom sk,.

  Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum.

  Check if "Auto Arrange icons" is enabled.

  If so, uncheck it and move icons, restart the computer and check.

  Your Antivirus software could be parasitic. Try temporarily disable you security software and check.

  If the problem persists, install a third-party program in windows that govern funds layout and positions for your that you can restore it later.

• Virtual keyboard rearranges the desktop icons

  Hello, everyone,

  I have ACER Iconia W510 tablet and I am in love with her. It is the most useful computer I've had since the dawn of computers with machine mainframe IBM 360.

  A few days ago I met a problem: whenever the virtual keyboard appears, he climbs all the icons on the desktop and makes a mess. It wasn't like that before - the keyboard did not affect the desktop icons. No doubt some update caused this change.

  How can I return the tablet to its previous state or the DΘsactiver the virtual keyboard to move the desktop icons?

  Hello, I just found the solution. The virtual keyboard has a button to the right for full screen or window. Full screen duration upped everything in his path.

• Is it safe to remove the desktop icons rest after a support session remotely Microsoft Tech Support?

  Hello everyone,

      Some time back I had experienced problems with Windows Update continually advising me the KB2538242 was ready to be installed.  After a lot of hassle, I finally got help from Support staff technical Microsoft through 3 sessions of Assistance to solve the problem remotely.

  At the end of the last session, there were several icons left on my desk. (A couple of the names associated with the icons are: desktop.ini & redistributable Microsoft Visual C++ MFC 2005).   Some are .exe files and some are presented as folders.

  My question: is there a way to HIDE these icons so that they will be displayed on the desktop, without actually delete files / folders / applications, icons are associated with?

  (I'd forgotten there is no way to attach a screenshot (jpeg file) from my office, so everyone could see the icons I want to talk).

  Thanks for your time and any clarification on this subject!

• The desktop icons disappeared after installing updates

  Original title: almost all of the icons that I had on my desktop disappeared following updates of today 5/11.  There were 19 updates so I don't know which ones to uninstall. What should I do?

  Using IE9.

  Hi DECantrell,

  Because the problem started after installing Windows updates, you will need to perform a system restore before the updates were installed

  You can try a system restore to a restore point before the updates were installed.

  Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:

• The desktop icons to change the order after reboot

  Original title: the icons on the desktop in the Land of window 8

  Hello my friends. Before entering my question, I would like to thank all those who more graciously helped me with the many difficulties that I had with my old Dell XPS 8100 Studio, running Windows 7, Service Pack One, who went from the realms of the puffy clouds, halos, and * cherubs Flyin 'around pluckin' at the age of harps. Unfortunately he succumbed to Cyber Devils and digital demons that has infected. Even after the Pixel priest to perform an Electrosisim filled with the anointing of the Holy soldering, the pose of the figures on Ctrl-Alt-Delete, an attempt to restore to an earlier time, the computer was found dead of CPU. So at 2:35 on July-11-2013 with a tear to the eye and a hand shaking, I pulled the plug on my old Dell XPS Studio 8100 paper weight for 3 years and he passed quietly in the mist of the net and internet wholesale in the cloud. :)) So now I have a new ASUS computer and it runs Windows 8, and a few things are not as they were in Windows 7 like the arrangement of the icons on the desktop. Now, in Windows 7, I could resize, change the image and place the icons where I wanted to, and as long as I box unchecked her "snap to grid" in the settings under view they would remain locked in their assigned positions. Good, assuming that the parameters for the icons were the same as they were in Windows 7 in Windows 8, I went to the subject to carefully arrange my icons. When I had finished my task, I went in the view and the box unchecked that pesky 'snap to grid' and everything seemed fine until I had the need to restart the computer. After restart my office came on the screen and I couldn't believe my eyes, all of the icons that I had planned so carefully were in their original position they were before them, I changed? I went quickly into the display and don't you know that the "Snap to grid" box was checked. I tested this confusing situation several times, and any time the results were the same? Now, once more I seeks the advice and wisdom of you Wizards of Windows and Microsoft Magi digital defenders of the net in the hope that you might have a solution to my situation. Sincerely yours, Esq. Tiffany Amber Snow "Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope"

• The desktop icons do not respond after the use of IE

  Hello

  Anyone got a solution for this? When the computer is turned on I can use the icons on the desktop, no problem. However, after I used Internet Explorer from the desktop icons don't respond well the pograms can be opened from the start menu. As the recent problem I tried uninstalling some updates recently installed, without solving the problem. Using Windows Vista and IE9

  After that I used Internet Explorer from the desktop icons do not respond

  Does that mean exactly?   For example, what do you see?   For the best answer to this question, you could use ProcMon and know what modules are involved when you do what these are.   ;  )

  However, without using ProcMon you can check with the Manager task or resource or ProcExp monitor if there is always a hidden background iexplore.exe processes running or anything related to IE which started as a result of your using IE.   If so then try to kill these processes.   Etc.

  Related to this, you could also consider what you used IE before your symptoms occurred.   This means that would understand that make your "desktop icons" and change it to something more neutral.   For example, if you had clicked on was a shortcut Internet (aka the .url file) that requires a network connection, change for people who only runs locally, such as about: blank.   So if you could close the window that has opened and always use the shortcut you would have refined your description of symptom to involve the network connections.

  Related to that, would be your security package, for example, some are trying to act as a hidden proxy to "analyze" the HTTP traffic.   Then the problem would not be IE but the hidden proxy.  Etc.

  You can't wait for a "fix" until you have a fully understood symptom.   More details and diagnosis is necessary IMO.
