The icons off my computer missing?

The icons off my computer are missing.  I don't know how they disappeared, so I have no idea how to do to get back them.  All I have is "Log Off" from the green button start.  The "Restart" and icons "standby/sleep extended" disappeared.

Can someone help me please.

  • Change the icons on my computer

    When you click on my computer and open it in a window of the Explorer is shows the icons for the various devices removable and nonremoveable. All the device icons look like disks. In particular, my Ipod. I would like the icon to look like the icon of intellectual property which appeared in Vista. You can can change the icons on the items on the desktop, but I can't not find how to change the image of the icon in this window. How to do this now?

    change drive icons for your i - pod in my computer are manually as follows: -.

    1. go to your iPod Player (for example say - f:\, where f is the iPod drive letter).
    2. Select your icon & put it on your iPod as i drive - pod.ico (i.e. - in f:\).
    3. open the Notepad and type as follows:
    [AutoRun]
    ICON = i - pod.ico
    4. close Notepad & save the file autorun.inf in drive i - pod (c.-a-d.-f:\).
    5. remove your iPod player & connect it again to your computer.
    fact.
    n.b.-1. here is the name of the icon file that you use as the icon of the drive disc. "i - pod.ico". You can change the name of the file, but you need to change in the autorun.inf file "ICON = i - pod.ico" section.
    2. This will work only for removable disks on any computer, but not for the internal hard disk, for which there is another yank in the registry.

    Hi DianeCosic,

    What operating system or version of Windows do you use?

    We would need to know that in order to help you better.  If you still see the desktop and My Documents on your Start menu, you should be able to recreate the shortcuts by right-clicking on them from there.

    In addition, if something has changed on your computer, you can do a system restore to a previous point before the show began.

    Please, let us know if we can help you.

    Thank you!

  • is there a way to make the icons remain in the same places and not move when I turned off and restart my desktop computer? I like to keep the icons where I put them.

    I do a lot of important writing, and it would be so much nicer if the icons of file would be left in the same positions on the desktop, so that when I started working I don't panic, thinking that some kind an important file has been lost. Please help me understand how to set up my office to keep my icons in place, if possible. Thank you!
