• Taskbar disappeared and all the desktop icons are gone

  Ok... I think it's a virus... but I can't enter "search" to locate. When I connect my wallpaper rises on Windows and that's all. I start the Task Manager and type "explorer", but it says Explorer is not found. I did a virus scan and nothing came. Menu start has disappeared... How can I 'Search' a program when I don't have my Start menu or icons? And why 'explorer' is not found? Help!

  Hello

  It could be a virus, or it could be something interferes with the Explorer shell.

  If you press ctrl + shift + ESC, open the Task Manager? If so, on the applications tab click "new process" and type explorer.exe and click ok. This starts the desktop computer?

  If the Task Manager does not open, then you are probably infected (virus often block access to the Task Manager). Restart in safe mode by pressing F8 when the system starts at the start up, just after the initial POST, and before Windows starts to load. This should result in a boot menu where you can choose Safe mode. Run your scans antivirus from here.

• All the desktop icons show emblem of Mozilla

  original title: change my icons

  My son uses this laptop and every icon has changed to the emblem of Mozilla/Firefox. Please help me solve this problem. I can't get anywhere on this thing, because I don't know what program will open. There is so much rubbish, I can't clean it up.

  My son uses this laptop and every icon has changed to the emblem of Mozilla/Firefox.

  I've seen this happen when opening a program via a shortcut (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After you have selected the Mozilla/Firefox (or another program) via the Select a program from a list of programs installedand check always use the selected program to open this type of file (circled in red below), the document or program referenced by the shortcut of origin opens in Mozilla/Firefox as it should.

  The problem is that now all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) on the desktop or in the Explorer will want to be opened by Mozilla/Firefox and use the icon for Mozilla/Firefox to display the shortcut no matter what shortcut was initially intended to open. This is known as a file association and the default icon. The same condition can occur if you have performed these actions 'Open with' on one. JPG or even a. EXE, but the. LNK explanation is much more likely for the items on the desktop.

  The good news is that a small free utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is also a registry hack to achieve, but I recommend the utility unASSOC for its ease of use.

  You can get a copy of my SkyDrive here. I used to send people elsewhere to download a copy, but this page is more confusion with misleading ads to download this and that.

  Just download and then run the utility to unassociate the. LNK files. Select. LNK in the list on the left and click on remove the associated file (user) or remove the file type , and then restart the computer.

• All the desktop icons have changed, please help!

  I wanted to open a game, so I double-clicked on the icon shortcut, as usual.

  I was told that I had to search for a file on the internet or a group of programs to open this game.
  I have all the games correctly installed files.
  Then I chose to open the game with this icon of games, now it changed all my icons on my laptop to a thumbnail of this image of the games shortcut. I have no knowledge of how to restore ALL their original images.
  I can not open a large part of my programs because they automatically want to open with this icon.
  I can't do system restore unfortunately like I did not restore points.
  Can someone help me?
