• How can I add missing icon to the desktop shortcuts

  Question too much techno for me... I have several desktop shortcut icons... For most of those who appear as the Mozilla Fox, which is fine, but unfortunately, there are too many icons in Firefox, and I wanted to change some REAL WEB SITE icon, or the favicon. How will I know how to do this? Thank you!

  It is not a matter of Firefox making it simple - the Windows operating system controls the desktop icons, so with 3rd party Windows applications automatically use the application for the shortcut icon, but it is possible to change the image of what you want.

  If you want the image of the Web site that the site to use for the URL bar as a shortcut on the desktop icon to a Web site:

  1. Define the shortcut on the desktop.
  2. Find and save the image you want to use for this shortcut.
  3. Then right click on that shortcut, then open properties > shortcut on the shortcut menu for the shortcut on the desktop, then use "change icon...". " and "Browse... ". " your hard drive for the image you want to use for the shortcut on the desktop.

  Insofar as find and save the Favicon of the site, see the screenshot below.

  1. Locate the icon on the Info Page > media tab and click on it once so it is highlighted, then view this picture in the preview window of media down and also check the Dimensions 32 x 32, if the image is not a picture of Type X-ICON.
  2. Then use the button Save under to save this image - name which has saved something unique, as (for example this forum) mozilla - favicon.ico image then you can tell him apart from any other favicon.ico image you may have saved or save.

  If you want to use your own choice of an image, you can convert the image into an image to favicon.ico here.
  
  http://Tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/
  
  When you create a favicon.ico for use as a desktop image, make sure that you select the option merge with a 32 x 32 desktop icon on this page.

• on registration of the desktop icons are not displayed

  Registration using Windows XP, the desktop icons do not appear.

  You see only your background image and the wallpaper?

  Miss all your desktop icons and you don't see the taskbar at the bottom of the screen or are simply missing icons and you can see the taskbar at the bottom?

  Check the simple things first.  Right-click on an open space on your desktop, choose Arrange icons by and make sure the option show desktop icons has a check mark next to it.  This will work if you don't miss you that the desktop icons, but still see the Start button and the taskbar.  If you are missing as the Start button and the taskbar, which isn't your problem.

  If only you can see your wallpaper background picture and don't see the desktop icons and no start button or taskbar, this means that the explorer.exe program does not run (and it must be running) or the explorer.exe program are usually afflicted.  A good way to think about at the moment, it is that the process explorer.exe "is" your desktop.

  If this is the case of malware in general prepares.

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your version of XP and the Service Pack?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  Sometimes your anti malware program to quarantine (and indeed remove) your file explorer.exe (or other critical files on the XP system) if it finds that the file is infected.  The file may really be infected, but you can know for sure and then reconsider your anti malware options.

  First, you need to get your work desk in order to have room for manoeuvre, then you can solve your problem of potential malware.

  Of your background image, press Ctrl-Alt-Del and open Task Manager.

  Look at the processes tab and if the process explorer.exe is not running, start it as follows:

  In Task Manager, click file, new task, and in the Open box, enter:

  %windir%\explorer.exe

  Click OK and see if get you your office.  If you get an error, we need to know what it says.

  If explorer.exe is already running in the processes tab, it is likely that the object of the affection and will need to be replaced (which is not difficult).

  If you notice that the explorer.exe process is already running in the Task Manager, highlight the explorer.exe process, and then click end process to stop and start a new explorer.exe process as described above.

  If things look right now, your system is still not fixed, but it should be enough usable so now you can fix it.

  I would start with these scans:

  Perform scans for malware first, then these scans by operating clean, difficulty of problems:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  Please report back with information about your system and your results if you need additional assistance.

• Right-click on the program icon to create the desktop shortcut - nothing happens?

  I right click on any program icon to create a shortcut on the desktop and nothing happens. It is as if he has forgotten what to do when you right-click. How can I fix it

  Hi Yoliray,

  • Since when are you facing this problem?
  • You did changes to the computer before this problem started?

  However, you can start the computer in safe mode and check if you can create a shortcut on the desktop in safe mode and after return the result. To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start in safe mode select and press to enter.

  If you can not create a shortcut in your user account, you can start again in safe mode and try to access the built in Administrator account and try to create a shortcut in the administrator account and check if it creates and post back the result.

  You can also try to re - register the i the shell32.dll file and check if it helps to create the shortcut. To re-record the file, follow the steps below:

  a. Click Start and click Run.
  b. in the run box, type the command regsvr32 /i shell32.dll and click Ok.

  Restart the computer and check if that helps.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the result.

  Thank you and best regards,

• Windows 7 - all the desktop shortcuts have disappeared

  OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (Build 7100 evaluation version)

  I was using my computer tonight (normal use, nothing happens out of the unusual, without errors or problems etc.). I shut down the system to go for dinner but later when I got to use again, I started it and connected but were none of my icons on my desktop. I got about 26 icons, 4 included shortcuts 'system' to the computer, the user files, network, trash.

  When click with the right button on the desktop, the option is there to add a shortcut, navigation and selecting a file results in nothing, no shortcut is visible. When I go to my desktop to users home directory, in the following location: "C:\Users\loggedonusername\Desktop" most of the shortcuts is visible here (including those above, I added that resulted in anything on the desktop) and I can add more within this directory, but they also do not appear. The 'system' ones (computer, user files, network, trash) still show as checked in the menu of desktop customization, unchecking, reticking, change theme and other options does nothing to restore them on my desk.
  Icons/shortcuts on the start menu are fine (visible and functional) - just nothing I try seems to show those on my desk. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  PS - I did a full system scan with the AV, nothing, even with malware/spyware scanners software. I also did a scan with Windows SFC - audit was 100%, no violation error / integrity.

  Most likely a minor bug with the CR. After execution of the RC for several months I am now facing two minor problems myself with the Explorer shell... (1) the window 'Opens' is enabled preview pane and no matter what I do, it is not off and (2) I had to rebuild my library because they had all kinds of mix upward on the folders they were supposed to point to (my library of music made for my photos, pictures sharp documents downloads pointed to a nonexistent drive, etc.). The good news? The RC is just the RC and is only temporary :-) Jonathan Matthis aka "7test" on MSN QnA

  Original title: hostile takeover in Windows media center

  Thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately, the process you gave me failed, because he said that I had no permission to check in the Notepad file. BUT he has given me hope and showed me in the right direction. I had worked at this for 4 days now. I learned a lot through the links you sent me and I could finally get it fixed.

• Could not open the Internet from the desktop shortcut

  original title; Problem with shortcut on Windows 7

  Today I bought a laptop and when I create a shortcut on my desktop its fine, but when I try to open a shortcut a box pops up saying... Unable to open this Internet shortcut. The "http" Protocol is not a registered program. What is c? and how can I retify it. Thank you very much

  Looks like there could be a typing error in your shortcut.  For websites, it must start with http://.  If not, this could be your problem.

  Good luck.
