• The desktop icons have all disappeared, moved to the taskbar.

  My desktop icons have disappeared.  I tried to do a right click on the desktop, but nothing happens, no pop - up menu or anything like that.  The desktop items have been moved to the taskbar background, so I have access to all my icons, but I'd like to come back to the office.  I tried to drag items on the desktop from the taskbar on the desktop, but nothing happens.  It's as if the desktop is locked.  Time virus scan clean.  Windows updated last night, but I don't know if that is related.   Any ideas?  Thank you.

• 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?

• I accidentally hit something on my keyboard that has reduced the police on my facebook. I don't know how to reverse this trend. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Everything I did was done with my right hand, the font is so small I can't read at all. When I did it using Windows there is a box in the upper right corner, I can click on and it lets me realign my font size to 100%. I can't find such a tool on Firefox. HELP PLEASE. I'll have to use Windows to access Facebook and Windows in my area is practically useless.

  Thank you.

• I use cs4 and hit when I tried hitting put and it replaced all my work to the former. Is there a way to reverse this trend?

  As I said above, I hit the wrong button and all my work is gone and replaced by the former. I need this back. Please tell me that there is a way. Thank you

  I am relatively sure, the answer is no. The way I understand it, a restore point essentially allows to fall back to a previous snapshot of your control panel (in the case, a program or an OS update goes south), without affecting your real e-mails, documents, etc.

  Without a backup of actual file any ongoing enforcement, I think the OP is pretty much out of luck here.

• 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.

• All the program icons have the same appearance and open Windows Media Center

  Original title: cannot start a program
  When I click on an any program icon on the Windows 7 Desktop, a window appears with its contents: suggested program to open Windows Media Center. All the programs on the desktop icons have the same appearance.

  Using Word 2007 to get an example:

  I've seen this happen when opening a program via a shortcut on the desktop (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After you select theWord (or another program) via the Select a program from a list of programs installedand checkalways use the selected program to open this type of file, the referenced by the shortcut of origin Word document opens in Word 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 Word and use Word icon to display the shortcut. This is known as a file association and the default icon. The same condition can occur if you have performed these actions on one. JPG or even a. EXE, but the. LNK explanation is much more likely.

  This has happened enough that a small utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is a registry hack to do this, but I recommend the utility unLNK for its ease of use.

  A utility to Unassociate Types of files in Windows 7 and Vista
  http://www.Winhelponline.com/articles/231/1/an-utility-to-unassociate-file-types-in-Windows-7-and-Vista.html

  Just use the utility to unassociate the. LNK files. Operating instructions are available on the web page above (the same place to get the utility).
