reduced desktop program disappears

Just had someone to upgrade my computer to windows 7. Now when I reduce something she disappears, while it allows to access the taskbar at the bottom margin of the page. Instead, the area is full of all kinds of shortcuts that the installer put there.

Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows.

    So now, I keep a copy of these shortcuts in another folder on the desktop, so they can be replaced quickly.
     
    It seems to be connected to this...
    "If you create shortcuts from desktop to removable storage locations such as NAS icons will disappear from time to time because Windows 7 has a built in scheduling the task to clean up unused or broken links.

    In the right pane, right-click the named scheduled task and click on disable. »

  • Desktop icons disappear

    Having just downloaded the latest Firefox update (I'm on the beta channel), as soon as it restarts, five of my desktop icons disappeared. I have more than 60 icons on my desktop and I don't remember what they are. Is it possible to know what icons have disappeared and the recovery please?

    Hi markyb208,

    I'm not sure what you have a problem with Firefox.

    Are you talking about icons on your Windows 7 desktop. In a standard installation, Firefox will try to add an icon on the desktop, but it shouldn't do something to remove the icons.

  • Pavilion p7: the desktop icons disappeared

    When I started my pc this morning I founf that all my desktop icons disappeared

    Hmm, that's strange. I wonder if you might have accidentally switched to Tablet mode, where the desktop icons would not display. See switch between Mode desktop and Tablet (Windows 10).

    If this does not work, try to install the Windows updates and reboot your computer. I would also like to run a virus scan. Good luck!

  • All my desktop icons disappeared from my Windows 7 Desktop

    I created several icons on Desktop 4 computers after installing clean computers with Windows 7 Profession (whether with the 32-bit or 64-bit). After a few days, some of the desktop icons disappear. However, when I click on the toolbar of office at the bottom of the Windows desktop, icons that disappeared from the Office were always present and available in the list of desktop toolbar. I've seen many users have the same problem on the Internet but no solution to the problem. Any suggestion for the fix.

    Hi guys,.

    I found the cause of her mysteriously disappear from the Windows 7 desktop icons and the reason why the Show Desktop icons now and then get UN-ticked.

    INFRARECORDER is! Try for yourself, when you start Infrarecorder and close the bottle, go take a look at 'See the desktop icons', it is not checked (but the icons are still there). Check it on again and start Infrarecorder... He is not checked again.

    This Windows 7 "bug" is irritating for me since the beginning and now I found the cause: it is Infrarecorder that causes this problem.

    Test it and please let me know and spread the word :-)

    Use the following steps:

    (1) right click on the program

    2) click Properties

    3) click on the Compatibility tab

    (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

  • All my desktop icons disappeared from my Windows 7 Desktop and toolbar on the bottom is misssing

    All my desktop icons disappeared from my Windows 7 Desktop and toolbar on the bottom is misssing. all I get is my pic of screensaver. I can't draw anything.

    Oh! If you think it's a Virus/Malware then take your HARD drive internal to another machine and have it is scanned with a good Antivirus updated. If nothing else works the hard way is to format your machine.

  • The desktop icons disappear

    All I have is the wallpaper and the cursor of the mouse.

    Please help.

    Hi reda

    Thank you for taking the time to help me with my problem.

    I tried method 1 and it did not help, I tried method 2 and I received an error message indicating that the sfc scan has failed and method 3, returned a negative virus detection.

    Out of pure frustration, I pulled the cables at the back of the computer and left the cable VGA/SVGA male PC to another port on the computer (at the bottom of the computer toward the upper left side), and it seems to have done the trick - why I do not know?

    Since the cable, the computer has been running at 100%, and the problem seems to have corrected itself.

    Thanks a lot again for your answer.

    Kind regards

    Brian
