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!

  • 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.

  • 8600 desktop icon does not

    After a Windows 8.1 update, the icon on the desktop to my Office Jet 8600 has stopped working.  I uninstalled the drivers and then installed the drivers.  I've used all the avaiable trobleshooting assistants and they all claim that everything is installed properly.  The icon is the gateway to fax and scanning my PC without having to go through the printer.  Unfortunately, the installation disk is for windows 7 and is of no help to 8.1.  Thanks in advance...

    Hello GTR81,

    I understand your Officejet 8600 icon on the desktop does not work after upgrade to Windows 8.1. I will do my best to help you! I noticed that you said in your previous post that you have three copies of this software on your computer.

    You have three copies of the Officejet 8600 in devices and printers or where exactly on your computer? I recommend you clean this software. Follow these steps:

    Please follow this HP document uninstalling the software of the printer. When it finished, I would like you to clean your Temp folder on your computer:

    (1) on the keyboard, press the Windows key and press 'R' together, then click on, and then type % temp % enter.
    2) press Ctrl and together on your keyboard (this will highlight all). Right-click with your mouse and select Delete.

    Now, perform a clean boot on your computer by following this Microsoft document here. This will eliminate the conflicts of software that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program.

    If your desktop icon does not work yet, I would recommend that you run this patch of this document from HP opens Assistant HP printer with an error in Script or in Notepad.  I know that you do not receive a script error, but this patch can help if your printer Assistant loading is not. I will seek forward at the hearing on your part have a good night!
