  I double click on an icon on the desktop, and a box pops up saying

  I do nothing, can solve the problem, I tried to restart at an earlier date to work on the pc, but I had fixed some time back, there is no date of previous work before this? Can someone plese help, I'm at my wits end... Thanks in advance

  Hey all, I met several times before - bit of a design on a flaw in Microsoft if you ask me.  If that's what I think is, you set all files with the extension ".lnk" to start with vlc.exe (or another program).  In short, here's what you need to do, but be careful in the registry.

  Do exactly what the instructions, exactly how they say to do it, and if something seems wrong, get the help of a technician or someone more experienced.  Make a mistake in the registry can make your system unbootable more or less well.

  1. Click on theStart Menu, typeregedit in start search and pressENTER .
  2. Navigate to the following registry branch:

  NtVersion ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\ [ext]

  Replace the [ext] with the real extension of the file you want to restore the file type association to return to the original Windows 7 by default (probably .lnk). If you unsure, simply browse through all the Sub-touche under FileExts .

  1. Delete the subkey namedUserChoice .
  2. Exit the registry editor.

  As much as I would like to take credit for the difficulty, I can't - search this Web site for the theme "icons of Application and extension changed. LNK ".  'MyronH' is the host that the application of origin.

  To the extent where the fix proposed by spankydoggy...  Although the intention seems authentic, notice are a bit dodgy.  Considering of Manhood and the stealth technology in about 800 000 permutationsknown to modern virii / Trojans / malware, the only safe course of action is to back up your data and rebuild your system.  And that says nothing about the relevance of the instructions spankydoggy offers in relation toyour system (operating system, applications, recorded files, etc..).  Follow the advice of spankydoggy if you want, but 10 years experience suspect at best it's going to do nothing and lead you into a dead end and the worst cases - it could make your system unbootable or losing data.

• The desktop icons are not displayed, but appear on the office toolbar

  Recently, my niece tried to take a picture of the webcam and use it for paper painted.  She then changed back.  The next time that the computer was used, all desktop icons disappeared!

  They are still in their folder, and if the Office toolbar is enabled, all the icons are there.

  If the office is a right-click, the options menu under rearrange icons by are grayed out. the display does not appear.

  It is not a malware problem; system has MSE and in addition, the nice people at MalwareTeks have crossed me half a dozen ladies without anything to reveal.  In addition, all dashboard software works very well in the start menu, or quick launch icons or toolbars of office.

  It is XP/SP3 with all updates.  Everything seems to work, it's just that there are no icons on the desktop!

  In addition, if a new user is set up, icons ARE there on THIS desk.

  Well done.

  If the system has installed Service Pack 3 and you have a XP installation CD is an older MS if you want SFC to run quietly, you can use your old XP CD to create a new CD to install XP with SP3 "listened slip" in it.  You will also find have such a useful thing in the future.

  Unfortunately, the MS Answers forum don't ask these questions when a new topic is created, or we would now.

  There are many how to tutorials slip stream XP.

  Here is one such article that works the first time if you follow the directions (you could lose a CD or two in the process of learning well).

• Lost the desktop icons

  Hello

  I lost a few icons on the desktop. If I use Windows Explorer to show the desktop, they are present in the list. They appear not only on the desktop. If I try and do drag on the desktop I am blocked because they already exist.

  How to make a comeback?

  Thank you

  Frank C

  First try the easiest method:
  Right-click on the free space of the desktop > click View > click on the Show Desktop icons.

  If that's not the answer, try the following suggestions...

  1 do a system restore. Choice of date where all your desktop icons were present and functional as your restore point.

  Start button > Search box, type System Restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, until the click > next > finish
  To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.

  2. rebuild your cache of icons:
