• The desktop icon can not find the program

  I'm having a problem where when I click on my desktop icons they can not find the program that is associated with run.

  Most of them is related to sites Web that I often use, so I select Internet Explorer as the associated program then remember this radio button, but when I connect and get back in that I get the same error.

  I am running windows XP, I say this because I've posted this before, and I referred to a difficulty which will not work with this operating system.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  This border on the desktop icons can be created when the elements of the Office was locked, to unlock the desktop items web right click on an empty area of your desktop. Now, select arrange icons by and uncheck "Web Lock Desktop items" if she has a little check mark next to it. If you did not have a tick here and then right click on your my computer icon and view its properties, now click on the Advanced tab click the button settings running. Now on the Visual Effects tab scroll effects to 'use the shadows of the desktop icon labels' and put a tick in the box next to it, and then click ok. This should remove the border from the shadow of your desktop icons.

  Just like that.

• How to lock the desktop icons in a multiple monitor configuration

  Original title: lock the desktop icons - and display

  Working with Windows 7 Home Premium has a problem processing 2 pieces: no matter how many times I said I want the display screen appears on the monitor, the screen of the computer, every day he arbitrarily returns to the computer screen only. That creates the 2nd problem: the desktop icons that I have arranged for the largest monitor rearrange themselves to adapt to the computer screen. Is there a way I can lock the icons in this position that I used to be able to do? Or is it possible that I can keep the display to go back to the computer screen? (I'm careful to apply the instructions to display before the specified seconds elapse).

   

  Hello

  I suggest you to go through the steps mentioned in the link and the Coachman.

  On a system running Microsoft Windows 7, the desktop icons can be moved to positions at random during another monitor main screen.

• The desktop icons don't "Refresh" copied or deleted

  This a problem that just started. There are two scenerios:
  1 copy or create a new icon on the desktop, however, it does not appear there. Yet when I go to Windows Explorer and navigate to my desktop folder, the file is there. The only time I can get the icon to appear, or 'Refresh' is when I restart the computer.
  2. I have delete a file on the desktop, however, it is simply there. When I try to delete it again, he says that the file does not exist.

  I think it's just a case of something to is not refreshing the desktop icons when these actions take place.

  Hi HarrisonHodgkins,

  See if updating the video card drivers helps. It works in some cases.

  If not, perform a clean boot and see if this is caused by a third-party software.

• How can I prevent the desktop icons move arround whenever a different profile is open?

  We have windows vista with 2 user profiles that are the main ones used.

  How can I add/remove/move the desktop icons on my profile without moving/remove on the profile of other people?

  What is the point of having 2 different profiles, so everything I do on my effects profile profile of others?

  also is it possible to add/remove programs (games, downloads) without doing the same for the other profile of people?

  Hi JexterMaxim,

  1. what type of user accounts that you use?
  2. don't you log on as an administrator?
  3. don't you make changes to the agreement of the issue occur?

  When you install a program, you will need to select the installation option in particular only to user accounts. Not in user accounts. You can try the following steps.

  Desktop shortcuts are stored in one of two places:
  (a) in c:\Users\Public\Desktop. These shortcuts are shared and are visible to the user ever.
  (b) in c:\Users\UserName\Desktop. These shortcuts are not shared and are visible to the user.

  When you right click on a shortcut, and then click general, then you can see where this particular shortcut is stored.

  To make a shortcut of the group a) visible to yourself, do this method:
  a. drag the shortcut to the side with the right button of the mouse.
  b. Select "copy". You have now two seemingly identical shortcuts.
  c. delete the original shortcut.

  Yes. This control simply allows you to show or hide. It does not change the contents of the desktop (C:\Users\\Desktop) user-defined folder. Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org

• How can desktop icon font color - I change the font color of the text that describes the desktop icons?

  I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. How can I change the color of the font describing the desktop icons?

  I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. How can I change the color of the font describing the desktop icons?

  Hello

  You cannot change the font color of desktop.

  Because desktop wallpaper images have different colors, it is easy for the colors of unreadable fonts if they are on top of the same color in a background image to display. For example, a black font on top a dark part of the background image or a white font on a white part of a background image.

  The desktop icon fonts are dynamic and show white on dark background and change in white with a shadow effect black on a light background.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you for using Windows 7
