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!

  • Failed to load the local profile. IO error. All files in My Documents have disappeared. How to restore

    did a normal turn on the computer.  Message came back failed to load the local profile.  IO error.  When he signed me, all my documents in My Documents had disappeared.

    A corrupt profile is fairly easy to recover with minimal losses.  Refer to the following procedure:

    "How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555473 >

    Corrupt profiles are almost always accompanied by hard drive corruption.  After recovery, scan your hard disk for errors using chkdsk with the /f or/r option

    "How to perform disk error in Windows XP check"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265 >

    The disk check procedure can take hours depending on the size of your hard drive and the amount of corruption and cannot be interrupted, then run it when you won't need your computer for awhile.

  • I have a white window empty, planted in the middle of my desktop screen

    Just turned on the computer on 8 Jan... January 11 after having disconnected from the internet, I went back to the computer a couple hours later to find a small window with the message "the Web site you are looking at is trying to close... "(je n'avais pas reconnecté) so I clicked close and a white square appeared my picture of office coming to overlap."  It disappears when I click on 'show desktop' (lower left), as does the gadget (right) bar.  However, it always reappears after the closure of all programs.  It cannot be moved or minimized etc.  and seems immune to my cursor. Otherwise, the computer works normally and quickly. I restarted twice and led the 'windows diagnostic support,"that no problem.  virus protection is enabled. The Task Manager also said that nothing is running.

    As a precautionary measure, please run/upgrade to update / download the free version of MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware . Post back with the results. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • After the last update of Firefox, icons for favorites have disappeared. I have a long list of bookmarks and found it very useful identification icons. Where they go and how can I get back them?

    I don't know how I could make this any clearer... When the icons used to be, now is either nothing or a square shaped dotted lines.

    Hi lskinner,

    You should take a look at this article which discusses some of the problems with the latest version of Firefox.

    There is some information here that should help you solve your problem. Fortunately, this is a very easy solution.

    Hope this helps!

  • Lock icon keyboard blackBerry Smartphones disappeared off the coast of the home screen

    The keyboard lock icon was on the home screen until I installed the updates that have been sent to me today on my BB.  Now that the icon has disappeared.  Check the Section help and could only know how to lock or unlock the screen manually.  Check the instruction booklet provided with it. again without help.  Searched through the BB Curve Demo Online - still nothing on the addition of the back icon.  It was so easy just push this button and not to worry about the keys in my pocket or your purse... How do I get it back?  If I'm not back I won't install updated any longer because I found that I got ro reset things like I wanted to... moving icons of folders to the homescreen etc... Please tell me there is a way to get this back... just bought this BB in June and a first I possessed and it is difficult to do without... HELP BEGINNERS please SO that SHE DID NOT feel LIKE SUCH a "dummy" LOL - thank you in advance for any advice that gives me!

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Looks like you have updated to the point where the locking function changed. In older versions, you had an icon on the screen. In the latest versions, you use the power on top of the BB button do a keyboard lock. To get the icon back, you must activate a device password... then you will have an icon for Active password lock. How it works now, and the only way to change this is go back to a previous version, when the change was made.

    Good luck!

  • Mozilla has suggested reset firefox to fix the slow and now all my favorites have disappeared.

    It took a while for firefox on startup when I clicked on the icon and then there was a message from mozilla/firefox suggest I have reset firefox and all my bookmarks, cookies, etc. would be saved. After the reset, I don't have 1 bookmark. So far, the only thing this computer recognize now is my sign-on so that I can ask this question.

    Never mind. It must have just taken some time because now they are all here (weird because it took about 45 min.) Please skip this question.

  • My office has just done a repair XP after a hardware change and now all user accounts have disappeared and he asks the administrator password when connecting!

    We have a unique system of Windows XP that run the software of engineering for certain calculations. All other systems running Windows 7, but what a XP system because it's the only thing that our calculations software runs on.

    CPU of the XP computer died on us and we had to replace the card mother and CPU. After the change of equipment, following Microsoft's OWN guide on the running an XP repair, we ran the system repair and got all the way to the login screen (no blue screen not as before repair). However, none of the accounts are there and he asks an administrators password. The system has NEVER had a password to our knowledge, it was built in the House, and all simply by clicking on the Administrative login asks for a password.

    What can we do? We needed this fix before today and wait for the repair of the system to do. Is it possible to enter the system to run the software? We tried the SafeMode (all forms) and they all will ask a password after Windows loading.

    It's so frustrating.

    (PS I have been building computers for nearly 15 years and have never had this happen)

    Thanks for the quick response. I looked into the system with a "start-up" program All original profiles seem to still be there. I don't know how to make them appear well. Can you direct me or tell me, how to make profiles see the place?

    The biggest problem, outdoors is not be able to sign more, is that the engineering calculation software is locked to this PC. It can be installed anywhere else without having to pay for a VERY new (I think that thousands of dollars) expensive key or a new version of the software.

    :(

    Yes, it's a problem.
    I believe you can use a UBCD4Win CD or Hiren Boot CD to locate and right click on the files you want to change. And then, if you properly in your repair facility, you change the attributes after you're done.
    Some guides are better than others. And here's one that I like:
    If necessary, hire a PC Tech. It's much cheaper than buying a license that is thousands of dollars!
