• 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.

  Hi, Sean

  I'm happy to announce that I now have my scanner to work.  I did as you suggested but I couldn't find an HPOfficejet file in the HP folder I found a bin folder in the folder of imagery but not scan.exe, but there was no scan file.exe inside.

  In any case, I have reinstalled the driver full features which I installed with the default settings.  When I got through everything that was there was the icon on my desktop solution Center.

  I did a scan and everything works fine.

  Thank you for everything.

  Try this tutorial. It worked for me when I had Vista 32 bit. I used to have more than 150 shortcuts on deskops, and they tended to move 'by themselves' as you said. This tutorial below worked for me.

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/save-and-restore-desktop-icon-layout-in-Windows-Vista/

  Note: the tutorial is done for Vista 32 bit.

  Is a 64-bit installation program which I have not tried. I can't guarantee that.

• my desktop icons are of normal size, but the image that represents the shortcut that is MSNBC, is very low in the center of the icon

  I have to resize the icons, just the image in them... Thank you!!!

  You can have the Web site icon, but it will be not bigger: it is stuck at 16 by 16 pixels.  This is how the icons on Web pages are programmed.  It's not for lack of Microsoft: it's just the reality of the world.  If you forced the site of MSN icon to be large enough to match the size of the "large" view desktop icons, that's what it would look like:

  

  Of course they don't want people to complain about the ugly tense icon, and since Microsoft cannot replace the icon for each Web page in the world, they simply leave it at the default size so it looks nice.
  Given their big stretch would become extremely blurred, Windows leaves these icons low resolution to their normal size, centered insizing a box.
  >> If you only want it to be as big as XP, you can always do: just to right click on the desktop, select display, then Classic icons... Classic is the size THAT used XP.  Stretched above example is what it would be if you choose Medium or Large inside Windows Vista or 7, which is bigger than anything XP could ever show.

• Whenever I have download my photos in the photo gallery, the icons of all out like the same generic image

  Whenever I have download my photos in the photo gallery, the icons of all out like the same generic image for each photo, instead of actual miniatures of the photo itself.  I can't find the pictures I'm looking.  Why is this happening and how can I solve this problem?

  This parameter can be:

  (1) open Folder Options (search for your search box on the start menu to find)

  (2) on the display tab, verify that the "always show icons never thumbnails" is off (disabled)
