Recent locations on the desktop, it cannot go down!

I don't know exactly what I did, but my leader (?) recent locations is glued to my office and I can't get it off. It is not a shortcut, it is the recent of real places. Any way to get off this thing? Thank you.

Click office > click Refresh

The icon will disappear.
You need not restart.

  • Recent Places icon appearing on the desktop when ever I go to recent locations in the Favorites

    When ever I go to recent locations in the Favorites page to clean my memory this recent locations icon appears on the desktop WITHOUT option to right click and delete OR drag it to the trash

    I found a tutorial on the web that provides a way to remove the icon
    1.right - click recent locations in the field of Favorites tab in Explorer.
    2. click on "send to", and then select Desktop
    This will automatically replace the existing icon and replace it with a DESKTOP SHORTCUT
    3. simply delete the shortcut
     
    But this issue should be fixed in next update, or maybe it is set in point 8.1 of Windows because it's REALLY BORING to this procedure whenever you clear recent locations

    Thank you very much! To solve my problem... As you have said, I hope there will be an update so that we do not have to constantly...

    Much appreciated, Cheers

  • lock the files/folders to a location on the desktop?

    I want to lock a folder to a location on the desktop and have it not move from there, IE (right click), (lock folder/file on the desktop). Is this possible?

    ALSO is there any place to changes in demand/request/volunteer you want with Microsoft products?

    Thank you.

    Hello Ajwren51,

    Unfortunately, there is no option to lock the desktop on the computer icons so that you will not be able to move their position. However, you have an option for icons to align icons in a particular position on the grid which will give you a possibility to save the backup.

    a. right click on a space empty on windows.

    b. click view, and then select icons to align it on the grid.

    You can also give feedback on Microsoft products following the link below:

  • Image 'burned' on the desktop PDF cannot be removed

    I did drag a PDF file to my office (starting an e-mail) and the message:
    "In order to add this to your desktop, you must save a copy of the image.  Do you want to continue? »

    Do not understand the consequences, I chose Yes.

    This time seems to have "burned" a picture of the PDF icon on the desktop, and I can't remove it. Even in trying different horizons makes no difference.

    Hi Rob,

    You try to perform a restore of the system to a prior restore point you have been affected by the issue.

    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:

    How to restore Windows XP to a previous state

    You can also upload a screenshot of the Office to get a better understanding of the issue, that you face.

  • Lost all my shortcuts on the desktop and cannot get back them!

    Whenever I turn on my laptop, my living room of shortcuts for a few seconds, when the office, then they disappear forever once that it has finished loading!  This has happened for a few weeks now and I don't know how to fix it.  Also, when I right click on any program and try to send it on the desktop as a shortcut, it does not work, nothing happens! I tried to restore to a couple different points before the last windows update, and that didn't work either.  I also run full antivirus scans, etc & still nothing.  Help please! I want my shortcuts back!

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  I hope you have a point to rstore dating back that far.

    If this does not work, go to start / computer / C:\Users\\desktop (and you may also go to C:\Users\All Users\Bureau) and see if they contain elements of your desktop.  If so, copy all files and paste them on your desktop.  You can probably rearrange, but who should return them.

    If this does not work, your user profile may be corrupted.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Once I have export pictures to my desktop, can I do the location on the desktop that, deleting the file to use the creative cloud space?

    If I download pictures from my phone into Lightroom Mobile and then export the files in a folder on my desktop, how can I keep taking creative space Cloud files? I want to keep the files in my Lightroom Catalog but want to host them on my desk rather than the cloud. This issue is specific to the files I downloaded Lightroom mobile.

    Hi starkymorillo,

    Greetings.

    • Export files from LR, delete once exported the images of the mobile LR.
    • Now, you can import these files into LR and they will stay in the LR catalog, but not in the clouds.
      • Just to let you know images in LR mobile takes up very little space in terms of the cloud, he uses instead of space between your phone and LR catalog on desktop.

    My son has accidentally done something to the taskbar. It is on the bottom and it is now vertical on the right side. All I can do is make it narrower. How do go back to the bottom of the screen?

    Although by default, the taskbar is displayed on the bottom of the screen,
    It can be on any of the sides on what you prefer. To move any
    side to side, simply click an unused portion and drag
    where you want it. Don't forget to click inside it, not on the edge.
    by clicking on the edge and dragging will resize not move.

    If it does not move, it can be locked. In this case, right click on it
    and uncheck "Lock the taskbar", then try again.

    Moreover, with the screen monitors wide today, I prefer the taskbar
    on the left or the right of the screen. I think that allows a better
    use of real estate than have it at the bottom of screen.
