• 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/

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

• 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).

  I wonder if Microsoft has a method but there is probably no compelling reason for Member States to create a...  I would try it if they do.

• The desktop icons do not respond after the use of IE

  Hello

  Anyone got a solution for this? When the computer is turned on I can use the icons on the desktop, no problem. However, after I used Internet Explorer from the desktop icons don't respond well the pograms can be opened from the start menu. As the recent problem I tried uninstalling some updates recently installed, without solving the problem. Using Windows Vista and IE9

  After that I used Internet Explorer from the desktop icons do not respond

  Does that mean exactly?   For example, what do you see?   For the best answer to this question, you could use ProcMon and know what modules are involved when you do what these are.   ;  )

  However, without using ProcMon you can check with the Manager task or resource or ProcExp monitor if there is always a hidden background iexplore.exe processes running or anything related to IE which started as a result of your using IE.   If so then try to kill these processes.   Etc.

  Related to this, you could also consider what you used IE before your symptoms occurred.   This means that would understand that make your "desktop icons" and change it to something more neutral.   For example, if you had clicked on was a shortcut Internet (aka the .url file) that requires a network connection, change for people who only runs locally, such as about: blank.   So if you could close the window that has opened and always use the shortcut you would have refined your description of symptom to involve the network connections.

  Related to that, would be your security package, for example, some are trying to act as a hidden proxy to "analyze" the HTTP traffic.   Then the problem would not be IE but the hidden proxy.  Etc.

  You can't wait for a "fix" until you have a fully understood symptom.   More details and diagnosis is necessary IMO.

• XP... The desktop icons will not put

  XP... The desktop icons will not put. I did a lot of research on this issue, read the different responses on many forums, including and have tried much of the recommendations... I'm not familiar with the functions of establishment of the arrangement of the desktop icon and this is the first time I met this kind of problem. "Lock Web items on desktop" is checked, "Snap to grid" is not checked (my preference, but I find that it will check mysteriously itself after the icons rearrange themselves to the left of the screen, apparently by making use of automatic reorganization, even if it is not checked), I tried securityguy14 registry change response dated December 7, 2009 , have installed and use the program "Icon restore" that changes the Recycle Bin, my computer, and another icon of office, I do not remember to add a backup/restore function for the setting icon on the desktop... is what bought me a brief period of mental health before they rearrange themselves after a few constantly unidentifable strike entered sometimes without "rhyme or reason", not unique to anything, preventing me from shrink down to a specific cause. I conducted several audits of malware with paid and free programs and there is no indication of anything invading my system, it works fine other wise. Help!

  How to make a Vista system restore

  ------------------------------------------

  Also right click on desktop - view - is set to medium or classic

  and other opportunities:

  Right click on desktop - customize - display settings - Set resolution.

  Right click on desktop - customize - display settings - top left adjust font size (DPI)

  CTRL + mouse wheel works ZOOM

  CTRL + and CTRL - work ZOOM in and out

  Your mouse/touchpad probably incorporates a ZOOM to it.

  Your system also has a magnifier built in which could be a problem - it can also often be programmed to work
  on mouse/keyboards.

  To see if your mouse/touchpad is set to ZOOM or enlarge use Control Panel - mouse.
