• Size of the desktop icon changes to large suite reboot - Windows 7

  Hi all

  I'm having this problem for a few months. The size of the icons on the desktop may be set to small. I had a setting in CUSTOMIZE > SHOW for children, but it not reduced the size of the icon on the desktop. Also, if I change the size of the icon on the desktop by ctrl + mouse wheel it comes down to grand after reboot.
  Please help me solve this annoying problem. I tried to install the latest drivers as well but still the problem persists.
  Thank you

• The desktop icons back to the generic icon of IE

  I use Vista Home Premium on a new computer.  When to create internet related shortcuts (e.g. Yahoo) I get a generic IE icon 'E '.  After changing by another icon, so that they don't look alike, on reboot they come back to the generic 'E '.  When I click right and select Properties, it shows the icon I have chosen, but this is not what is displayed on the desktop.  This is not good for re - change the icon, they remain as 'E '.  In addition, why on my old computer, the shortcut icon copies the company icon (e.g. red 'Y' for Yahoo) but is not here?  Thanks for any advice.

  This means that you must click on the link that I gave you the solution. "Custom" icons, you get Web sites are called "favicon". The Web page to which I gave you the link tells you how to activate the favicons in Vista.

• The desktop icons back to the generic image

  Windows 7 Home Premium SP1

  Sometimes, after a reboot or a restart, some desktop icons return to what seems to be a generic image.
  It is a rectangle that resembles a Windows screen, with the shortcut arrow.
  Not the same icons on each occurrence.

  The links work.

  After a reboot/restart, some (or perhaps all) icons return to their application-specific image.

  I can't find any file IconCache.db.

  Whence the icon display get the icon image files?

• Satellite L550 - square black on the desktop icons after upgrading to Windows 7

  Hi people.

  Don't know if Windows 7 has simplified our PC as Microsoft would have us believe. I spent the last two days trying to understand why my L550 has suddenly square black on my desktop icons.

  What happens after the installation of Microsoft, application of a software patch updates for a HP deskjet 5150 printer. To be honest, I'm more sure when this nuisance hits me.

  Resolution true color (32 bit) upward in color (16 bit) downgrade rid my icons of black squares. Should I therefore settle for a lower resolution when my laptop can do better? Any workaround yet?

  Thank you

  Hey, Mambo,

  What exactly are you installing if you visit the Windows Update page? Maybe you install a different display driver that isn't compatible with the graphics card.
  Check this box!

  Also, make sure that the new display on the site of Toshiba driver is installed.

  Is the software patch for your printer that is compatible with Windows 7?

• 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.

• The desktop icons to change the order after reboot

  Original title: the icons on the desktop in the Land of window 8

  Hello my friends. Before entering my question, I would like to thank all those who more graciously helped me with the many difficulties that I had with my old Dell XPS 8100 Studio, running Windows 7, Service Pack One, who went from the realms of the puffy clouds, halos, and * cherubs Flyin 'around pluckin' at the age of harps. Unfortunately he succumbed to Cyber Devils and digital demons that has infected. Even after the Pixel priest to perform an Electrosisim filled with the anointing of the Holy soldering, the pose of the figures on Ctrl-Alt-Delete, an attempt to restore to an earlier time, the computer was found dead of CPU. So at 2:35 on July-11-2013 with a tear to the eye and a hand shaking, I pulled the plug on my old Dell XPS Studio 8100 paper weight for 3 years and he passed quietly in the mist of the net and internet wholesale in the cloud. :)) So now I have a new ASUS computer and it runs Windows 8, and a few things are not as they were in Windows 7 like the arrangement of the icons on the desktop. Now, in Windows 7, I could resize, change the image and place the icons where I wanted to, and as long as I box unchecked her "snap to grid" in the settings under view they would remain locked in their assigned positions. Good, assuming that the parameters for the icons were the same as they were in Windows 7 in Windows 8, I went to the subject to carefully arrange my icons. When I had finished my task, I went in the view and the box unchecked that pesky 'snap to grid' and everything seemed fine until I had the need to restart the computer. After restart my office came on the screen and I couldn't believe my eyes, all of the icons that I had planned so carefully were in their original position they were before them, I changed? I went quickly into the display and don't you know that the "Snap to grid" box was checked. I tested this confusing situation several times, and any time the results were the same? Now, once more I seeks the advice and wisdom of you Wizards of Windows and Microsoft Magi digital defenders of the net in the hope that you might have a solution to my situation.
