Simple icons/files needed on the desktop

I don't know that it's probably just behind the desired option more... but, for reasons is not necessary to mention here, I want Plains icons and folders displayed on my desktop.  I don't want to see the content of each pdf, photo, CAD and case file that sits on my desk.  It would be nice to have just the former generic styles - I looked through some of the options but see no index.

Using Win 7 Pro 64 bit.

Thank you very much.

The office is the worst place in storage, there is

It is easily corrupted and will usually be at one time or another.

The office is preferable to contain only shortcuts to files or programs.

Drag files in the category what ever that would apply, the doc / Pic...

Pin programs to the taskbar that allows you to view these files in and allows access to files, Jump list

You can also lock the doc and the peak in these lists of specific shortcuts.

Right-click of your Start button,

Click Properties,

Check both boxes privacy, apply and OK.

Open programs.

  • Windows XP SP3: Unable to start, System Restore cannot drag and drop ALL the files/folders on the desktop and applications, many unable to start, services cannot search, cannot copy or transfer the any files folders...

    After a recent power outage, my system has restarted with a weird and very common Windows problems range. The system boots fine, all my personal files/folders/apps are intact, have suddenly stopped almost all functions of applications, but many crucial functions of the Windows kernel. Everything seems to point to several Windows Services are unable to start (administrative tools on the start menu). I am running Win XP SP3 and that he was going to upgrade to Windows 7, but I wanted to backup everything in advance. As I have 29 000 hours on my C: drive and a lot of time invested in my system, files, and applications, I am extremely reluctant to risk losing my files and applications by performing any type of reinstalling Windows. Strangely, begin to almost all my apps and all my files are accessible for the most part, but I've lost the ability to drag and drop files, folders or items in a list within the applications COMPLETELY. I can't copy or paste anything, can't move the desktop icons (although I can create new files and folders). So at the moment I can't save anything or even a single file transfer to a hard drive on another storage medium. Immediate reaction: try safe mode and try the system restore safe mode has the same problems (likely due to the large number of system services that inexplicably refuses to start) and the system restore says an error window saying "system restore is not able to protect your computer at this time. try restoring the system running and restart again", which of course NEVER changes. It's the equivalent of getting a tire on your car in the middle of nowhere to find the spare tire flat and the missing Jack. I have used to be fanatical about the definition of the regular restore points, but now can not access them. I have backups of most of my personal files, but over years have lost most of the original installation CD for many of my applications (there are over 100 applications on my system) and I don't want to lose the file associations and architecture of directory tree that it took my so long to implement. I started with Win XP media center edition of first (circa 2004 or almost) and have migrated twice more of 3 hard disks and 2 computers. All this time (5 years of daily use), I have NEVER known so many malfunctions for as many Windows basic and vital functions at the same time. I tried a lot of 3rd party "windows fix - it / registry repair" apps, all have no effect. Everything I can speculate is there was some serious damage to the registry and have no idea how/why so many Services refuse to start. In MMC, more than half of the services actually start and run, the rest all give the error message "the service or dependencies is not start (error 1068).» In addition, very oddly, no. APPS or windows appear in the toolbar AT ALL, but the Quick Launch toolbar works very well, just like the tray button and start tasks (?! )!). If I reduce a window, it "disappears" (Nothing on the task bar), but I can restore it using the alt - tab keyboard shortcut to switch apps, so all applications/windows appear on the list of the Task Manager. A few apps is paralyzed bad, as the player windows media, itunes, etc. (I guess because the service windows audio can not not start), some won't start at all, but 90% of them work fine, except to try to copy or back up all files. I can create new files, however. I'm desperate to find a solution to repair XP3 Win WITHOUT losing my installed applications and files, before I try and switch to WIndows 7. Any help/suggestions/links/advice would be much appreciated. I'm an experienced user, but I've never met so many malfunctions based on the OS at a time. I, however, very painfully learned (years before that my system so complex) it's been almost a re-installation of Windows guarantees to lose my installed apps and files, the directory tree architecture associations.

    Help, please!

    I'll be honest with you - your message is so difficult to read that I don't bother to go through all that. Next time consider using white space, ball or points numbered, etc. to make your message more readable. I stopped reading after your first sentence and only scanned the rest quickly. I do not mean to hurt your feelings; just trying to help you get targeted answers you need for the future.

    The blackout has corrupted your Windows installation. Back up your data now. Since you have problems so much, it would be probably best is to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB drive enclosure and attach it to another computer to copy the data OR start the target with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix system and copy the data to an external hard drive. IOW, do not use the damaged windows to try to get your data.

    You can try a repair that will leave your programs and facility data intact, but with this widespread bribery, it is unlikely to work. However, it takes only a few minutes and is so worth a try. If the repair facility does not work there is nothing to do, but a clean install. And Yes, it will mean that over again.

    Consider buying a UPS to help prevent future damage by power outages. For a single computer, you should look for one in the area of $60 to 80. A more expensive UPS is not necessary. Another good disaster recovery strategy is to buy an external hard drive and Acronis True Image. You can image your system (and can make an incremental backup image so that your image is still current). You can apply your image and be back running that you were in relatively few minutes after a hard drive or Windows to fail.

  • Icon file moves during the recording of the most recent Version

    When I save a Word (2007 worms.) document on my desktop, the file that I had opened became the back-up and the new file is placed in the queue of files on the left side of the desktop.

    It is horribly annoying because I keep the files associated with a particular project in an area of the screen, but now whenever I save a file, it moves.  A file which was now at the top right of the screen

    What should I do to keep the place of the file on the screen when I save it?

    Good morning Chairman Meow,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

    When you see the new file, you see the name exactly, or is it a ~ at the beginning of the name?
    If it has a ~, then you view hidden files that you don't really need to be seen, and you can stop everything just to view hidden files in the order that it stop.

    If this isn't the case, I suggest to uninstall and reinstall Office 2007 to determine if this solved your problem.

    As this is related to the office, if these suggestions do not resolve your problem, please consult the Microsoft Office communities for more specific support on office products at the: http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/FlyoutOverview.mspx

    Printed how?

    I opened the PDF file in Acrobat, check that the values are what you expect (using the output preview feature) and then printed on a Postscript printer.  Everything is good!

    Both Inkscape and Gimp are RGB-based applications, so that they need to convert CMYK to RGB data, why it moves in these applications.  You should consider using the data of color management if you want it to work correctly.

    If you have tried to change the shortcut icon on the desktop, by parameters change icon, sometimes do it 2 - 3 times before that change selected icon.
    If this does not work, you can try changing the addition of your account under the tabs for security and parameters.
    If this is a common problem, you can change the security for the folder Desktop (C:\Users\Your account-utilisateur\Bureau), same procedure, parameters and security, add your account with full rights to the folder.
    If dinner you can use advanced security features, change of ownership, to your account and then add the account under approval. If possible change prior to the same owner or administrators.

    NB. Version not English this name for the tabs are perhaps not leave right.
    It worked in my case.
    Instead I lost my shortcuts, and remains mesh around in the corner, so I have to get through the annual versions and rearrange them. Quit often.

  • Select several icons to remove from the desktop computer

    On my desktop computer Windows XP, if I press and hold the Ctrl key so that I can select several icons that I want to drag to the trash, after choosing 3 or 4 it suddenly makes copies of all. I don't want that to happen. What I am doing wrong?

    You move the mouse slightly. This problem occurs usually because the hand is not quite as stable as you would like. You move the files/objects slightly when you drag and creating additional copies. Try lowering the sensitivity of your mouse in Control Panel > mouse applet.
