See generic icons only

Hello.

If I transfer an image from my camera file on my desktop, it normally appears as a thumbnail of the photo itself. But when I put the file on a dvd, or in the trash, I can see only a generic icon of my default photo (paint.net) editing software. Someone knows how can I fix?

thanx

Suggestion:

Make a check of the system files. See if there are corrupted files and the file check can fix.

Start button > Search box type cmd > look up, do a RIGHT click oncmd.exe > click onRun As Administrator > in this window cmd black and white, type at the prompt flashing sfc/scannow > press theENTER key.
Note: there is a space between 'sfc' and ' / '.
To sit and wait. It will take time.
When finished, exit the cmd window.
Reboot (restart your computer)

Check if the problem persists thereafter.

    Jim,

    You can create shortcuts to your favorite in the Favorites web pages and the favicons will be there. Or you can create a favorite on a link bar in Internet explore and that display the "logo".

    The problem you are having is a common one in terms of URL shortcuts are considered. When you create a shortcut to a Web site, or add to Favorites IE, Internet Explorer downloads a file icon named "favicon.ico" from the Web site. This is the icon file that contains the icon that see you on your shortcuts.

    Windows Vista does not support customization of shortcut icons Internet Explorer on the desktop other than the steps in my previous post. These 'logo' to mark specific icons are called the favicons. Favicons do not appear on the default desktop shortcuts in Vista. If the favicon doesn't exist for your shortcut that will be located in the temporary Internet files. If you can find it there when you browse after step 2 of my previous post, you can use it. If it isn't there, using another icon, is your only choice.

    Internet Explorer stores the favicon file in the folder Temporary Internet Files itself. This means that whenever you clear your temporary internet files, or after a defined number of days when IE erases the file icon file is lost. Accordingly, because Windows is no longer able to find customized icons for Web sites, it is the icon of Internet Explorer by default.

  • After installing firefox os native app appears with a generic icon, which is the same for each of them

    I solve problems reinstall B2G ZTE provider, but all the native application like phone, camera msg etc apperars with a generic icon without staining, it is the same for each of them.

    some app have been updated, i.e. the market and in this case a correct icon appears, but others not update appears with a generic icon uncolored, customized with the name of the application text only.

    my phone provider was movistar, the manufacturer was zte and the model is open from zte.

    I need help to install the correct icons without having to completely reinstall the system if it were possible. Otherwise, the help is to know how to reinstall B2G correct icons

    Hi Josefer,

    I'm sorry to hear that you have problems with your Firefox OS. What are the instructions did you follow to Flash your device ZTE open? Did you receive errors in the process?

    I would say the best way to solve this problem would be to reset your device.

    Warning: Resetting your phone will remove all data stored on the device, including applications, data from the calendar, e-mail accounts and settings.

    To reset the device, follow these instructions:

    1. Open the settings application.
    2. Press the button of device information.
    3. Press the button more than information.
    4. Press the Reset button.
    5. Press OK to continue or Cancel to cancel.

    If the problem persists, you may need to reflash your device using the construction and the instructions available on the download page of ZTE:

    In addition, please remember that the best place to find support for questions specific to the device is directly with the OEM, as they provide the device-specific builds.

    We hope that this problem fixed the problem you had. Please report to us if this helped!

    Thank you!

  • Toolbar icons - can't do icons only and too small icons

    General complaint

    SO VERY frustrating to have to deal with the changes that are completely unnecessary and unwanted! It looks like Chrome now. If I wanted to use Chrome, I would use Chrome! Why Firefox feels that it is necessary to set a watch to work?

    Cannot get rid of the text of the icon

    Although the option bar Tools Customize is set to icons only (default), the text does not disappear and leave me with only the icons.

    I had a custom (with my own selection of buttons) toolbar and he survived the upgrade to FF29, but after I installed Classic theme restaurateur, I lost it again (who had had a problem with FF28, where I he would suddenly lose at the start and had to rebuild).

    I have rebuilt the toolbar after the upgrade to 29 and he showed the icons only in the beginning. But I repositioned the new toolbar among the toolbars another and this is the text of the icon insisted appearing with icons. I can't get rid of the text now.

    Icon size too small

    The new icons are microscopic! Even when I set the size to the largest, that I can find, in all settings, I can find it, they at least half as before.

    I installed the Restorer Classic theme, but affecting the icons large NAV only applies to the top row icons (where the address bar), not added on toolbars or manually added toolbars. Zoom text applies only to the displayed web page, not in Firefox itself. (Also, large nav buttons are barely visible and seriously ugly; they are not simply a larger version of the default icons).

    How can I report the usual size of the icons of the previous version?

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    1. install Classic restaurateur theme
    2. at the top right of firefox click the button 3 stripes and then customize
    3. at the bottom, you will see settings to show only icons pretty icons and text. There are also small buttons etc. These are all added by the Restorer of classic theme. It also fixes the problem invisible inactive tabs and tiny refresh button problem.

  • Icons on the desktop are covered by some kind of a generic icon after installing updates

    Original title: updated ruined my office!

    Once the updates have been downloaded and installed to my computer Gateway DX4840-03F (Windows 7 Home Premium x 64) icons on my desktop are now covered by some sort of a generic icon applied on top of the icon who was there.  If I take the icons up to large size I can still see the edges of the original under the generic icon icon.  I'm hesitant to do a restore before the undates were applied.  I guess that when the updates have been applied, I would have the same problem.  This is the first time that I've never used this forum thing, but it seems that this isn't the hottest place of answers...

    Hi skipplummer,

    You can check in the history of Windows update and the updates recently installed.

    Step 1:

    Check the update history to see what updates have been installed. See the link for the same mentioned below.

    See the Windows updates are installed

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/see-which-Windows-updates-are-installed

    Step 2:

    Given that the problem occurred after installing Windows updates, you can try a system restore and then try to install the updates one manually and check.

    You can try a system restore to a point before installing updates.

    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:

    System restore

    System Restore: frequently asked questions

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions

    After restoring the system, try to download and install updates one manually from the Microsoft Download Center:

  • When I bring my computer off "sleep mode", I don't see any icons on the desktop, that my background image.

    original title: malfunction of the sleep...

    When I bring my computer off "sleep mode", I don't see any icons on the desktop, that my background image. I can't get back them, and the only thing to do is to give my computer a re-starting difficult.  I just bought this computer last year and fear that this hard-restart is damage. What the hell is happening? What is the point of having the "sleep mode" if it limits my activity once I re - enable the computer?

    Kill process > explorer.exe from the Task Manager.

    Copy a copy of explorer.exe from a stable machine fresh and clean.

    Paste in: C:\WINDOWS\

    Replace existing explorer.exe.

    Problem should be solved.

    If this is not the case, change the registry should be applied.

    No registry attached office file.

  • I can't stop my photo thumbnails to switch to generic icons.

    In my folder of pictures, all my photo files will briefly display a thumbnail of the photo but will immediately switch to a generic photo of the examples of Windows photo icon.  I can't figure out how to get the thumbnail to stay as my photo and not switch to the generic.  I have Windows Vista and it's never happened before.  It just started to do on its own, and I can't stop it.   It's a pain in the neck to find a photo in particular, when each photo in the folder has the same generic image and not a thumbnail of the photo.  I have to click on the generic icon and open it to what is the photo.  I do not use the Windows Vista Photo Gallery because I don't like.  I don't like no way that it forces me to organize his way and not mine.  I have my pictures in a subfolder in the folder my documents.  Help!  I lost interest in my photos because of this problem.

    Hi MaQMartok,

    Welcome!

    This can happen if there is some system files corrupted on your computer. Suggest to run a SFC scan, which would be a search for system files corrupted on the computer and replace them.

    How to run scan SFC

    1. click on the Start button

    2 from the Start Menu, click on all the programs of followed by accessories

    3. in the menu Accessories , right-click on command prompt option

    4. in the menu that appears, click on the option "Run as Administrator"

    5 If you have user account control (UAC) enabled you will be asked to consent to the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

    6. in the window prompt of commands , type: sfc/scannow , and then press enter

    7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.

    8. be patient because the analysis may take some time

    9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue

    10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

    11. after the scan is finished, close the command prompt window reboot the computer and check.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista.

  • Where should I see my icon?

    Using FlashBuilder 4, I placed my icon 72 x 72 in src and added the entry in the xml file. When I run in the Simulator, I can see in the console it pretends that he uses my icon. However when I look at the Simulator, it says 'Chargement loading your application, please wait... ". "and the BlackBerry icon. Then I can use my app and it works... but I don't see my icon from anywhere. Where should I be seeing it?

    Hey MissRancher,

    Your icon must only apear in the list of applications on the home screen you can see before you debug your application and once you exit your application. Blackberry loading screen does not change. There is currently no way to change the splash screen that appears when your application loads.

    On a side note, I read that your icon should be 90 x 90 72 x 72.

    Edit: this is supposed to be 72 x 72 not 90 x 90. Sorry for the misleading info at the end! forgive me

  • Why do my devices have generic icons?

    Why is Windows only display generic for my devices in devices and printers, even if icons "Yes this automatically (recommended)" is bulleted under "do you want Windows to download driver and realistic icons for your devices? ' on my new PC Windows 7 Professional 64-bit? I can understand it display of generic icons for my keyboard/monitor / mouse, but it can even download the image for my Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 as my previous PC Windows 7 Home Premium could easily make. It's f * king ridiculous, this is a brand new HP Pavilion that the f * happens?

    The ability is built into the platform for developers to include a custom device icon, but almost nobody - not even Microsoft - only.  Most of the suppliers are unwilling to spend time to design an icon that already has a pretty decent default icon, and that most of their users will never watch anyway.

    Logitech and Dell usually send in customizations, but don't have a lot of other equipment manufacturers.  And lately, even those who did were releasing devices without one.
