  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!

• I deleted the 'My Computer' icon on my desktop. How can I get it back?

  I deleted the 'My Computer' icon on my desktop.  I'm unable to see new devices USB when I plug them in.  How can I solve this problem?

  A lot of different ways to do this.

  "My Computer" appears on the start menu? If so, just click-n-drag it to the desktop to create a new 'shortcut to My Computer' then rename it to delete the words "shortcut to.

  If my computer is not on the start menu, right-click on the Start button and select Properties.  If you use the start menu XP (not the "Classic menu start), click the 'Customize' button then the"Advanced"tab  Select the appropriate entry of "Items on the start menu."

  Or, download TweakUI for XP at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/windows-xp

  Run TweakUI, click "Desktop" and then check the icons to display on the desktop.

• Cannot find the "My Computer" icon; I have icon "Computer" but it is NOT THE SAME as "My Computer"... Help!

  I'm looking for the "My Computer" icon. I do not have the icon workstation; I made the different "tasks and tips" to supposedly turn on and I DO HAVE ICON CALLED 'COMPUTER' ON MY DESKTOP.  However, 'COMPUTER' is not equal to ' MY COMPUTER ' on this system.

  The 'My Computer', I want TO open a box with the usual File, Edit, View, Favorites, tools, and help under the blue bar containing the words 'My Computer' and the image of the icon in the left corner.   I want to choose 'Tools' that will 'gray out', the 'back' and 'forward' buttons and leaves an icon file with blue-green arrow pointing to the sky, research (with the microscope icon), folders (with the icon files) and a multi-dropdown button in the next line of command icons.  Below, is address, which should show the icon and the words of my computer.  Under the present is called 'Folder Options' box with 3 three topics on the left: tasks system, other places, and details. the first item under details, Workstation should be written in bold black.  On the upper area of the Folder Options, there are 4 four tabs: general, opinion, Types of files and offline files.  In the 'View' tab, I should be able to see the views of folders on top with 2 two buttons (apply to all records and reset all folders) and a list drop down in the bottom; advanced settings one of these subfolders in advanced settings should be: files and folders hidden.  I should be able to select that subfolder and get two 2 options: do not show the hidden files and folders and Show hidden files and folders, I would choose.

  The "Computer" icon that appears is called 'Computer' and opens the box with options to organize, System properties, uninstall or change a program, map network drive, and open the Panel control and it shows different drives on the computer, devices, network, and other information.

  Can someone tell me PLEASE how to access "My Computer"?  And, if it is a really stupid question, I apologize in advance.  But I've looked everywhere I know to look and I'm not.  Thank you very much.

  So the answer to my question is, "Yes, * I * am coming from an older operating system."  (I was wondering if your experience which has been remote or not).

  The problem is that many of the features of the file Explorer (it is really what we're talking about here) / appearance changed with Vista / Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 8.1 in the ~ 13 years since the release of Windows XP you are looking at the example of what it should look like you.  ;-)

  The 'my computer' in Windows XP does not exist (as it was in Windows XP.)  The look of crayola disappeared.

  File Edition display tools help

  Close all open windows 'computer '.

  Open a window 'computer '.

  Click on 'Tools' (after you press ALT while in 'Computer' and carries it) and choose "Folder Options".

  'View' tab there, I suggest you choose the following (Check/select, uncheck all the options not mentioned) under the "Advanced settings..."

  • Always show menus
  • File to display on the photos icon
  • Displays the size of file in folder tips
  • Display the full path in the title bar (Classic theme only)
  • Do not show hidden files, folders or drives
  • Hide the protégés of the files of the operating system (recommended)
  • Windows folders in a separate process of launch
  • See drive letters
  • See the encrypted or NTFS compressed color
  • View the description of pop-up for the folder and desktop items
  • The Wizard (recommended) sharing
  • Select the element type in the view

  Once these are the only elements to be activated, click on 'Apply' at the bottom and then click "Apply to folders" to the top of the window and then click 'OK' at the bottom.

  The top of the 'Computer' window, choose 'View' and see if there is a check mark next to the "Status bar" in the menu drop-down selection.  If it is, leave it alone (press ESC on your keyboard) if it is not one, click it.  The next time you select the 'View' menu, there should be a checkmark next to the "status bar".

• Computer pavilion laptop i7 incredibly slow

  Hi, I have a hp pavilion 2321ss g6 with a processor intel core i7. I had for about 2 years. It had not occurred to me to use this forum til now.

  Initially, he had run on win8, but he was almost inoperative (very slow) and I have upgraded to windows 10.

  As I installed the new computer system was incredibly slow and lazy. Opening a program, for example a browser may take more than a minute, making it unusable. Old computers are faster. I think all the updates on the system are made.

  Startup time is 300 seconds, and after that start it does not work well, on the contrary, it takes time to "warm up".

  What can I do?

  Thank you

  Lisa

• I lost the my computer icon on my screen.

  My computer icon disappeared from my office.  I used the time capsule to try back-up at an earlier date and perhaps recover it, without success.

  I can always find my applications... I tried to copy the icon in the finder and paste them into a folder on the desktop, but which is not allowed.  I remember way back that this icon/folder is 'blessed', but its been too long that I've known what exactly it means / meant.

  If anyone out there has had this experience, I would appreciate an answer!

  Open the Finder, then go to the menu bar, click Finder > Preferences , then select the general tab, and then select: hard drives.

  Hello

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-security/how-do-i-manually-start-Windows-Defender-in-Vista/dab845b2-9ba5-47F3-9518-c4c6781e7d5b

  "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

  Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

  Once modified, click apply and OK.

  Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

  If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

It worked but updates don't work nor bridge will recognize the raw files from my Canon 5 d Mark111. He acknowledged previously.

• Computer laptop 15-f211wm Mod #L0T32UA: USB external HARD disk and laptops not detected but used to be

  My USB ports do not seem to work properly.  I used to be able to plug in my external hard drive and mobile phone to transfer files, but now I can't.  In the DEVICE MANAGER of the laptop, nothing seems to be wrong, no red or yellow warning.  However, the USB ports DO not seem to power the devices, my cell phone goes into charge mode and my HDD Seagate you can feel it vibrate slightly.  There are two USB ports on the left side and one on the right, and all three can not detect devices.  Help, please.

  HERE IS a GUIDEto solving the problems of USB such as described in the post.  See if any of these help.  As you have posted in the notebook section, when you do that a single step to cripple, also remove the battery after the computer shuts down, unplug charger, too.  Then hold the power button for at least 30 seconds before feeding back.

  BTW: have you tried to delete all things under the rubric of the USB in the Device Manager, then reboot to allow Windows to reinstall the USB ports?

• The 'My Computer' is slow to/or/not will not respond.

  When I click on the 'My Computer' icon, the program is very slow to respond.  Then when I click on a folder to dig another level, more of the same.
  Sometimes, it crashes completely and 10-15 minutes later - still nothing.  Sometimes I have to do the old ctl + alt + delete and stop the program "my computer", and then it restarts again.   Still slow.
  I ran my anti-virus, my anti-spyware, my anti-spam and my anti-spybot programs as well as the old good Defrag.  All to nothing does not-still the same problem.
  Help or ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Since you feel that your computer is clean, turn to the material. The hard drive can be in PIO Mode. It's very much slow (like being in 1985). See Hans-Georg Michna here information - http://winhlp.com/?q=node/10

  Or hard drive (or other components) can be at fault.

• I have my 2nd computer configured for synchronization, but it does not show the tabs/bookmarks from the first computer. I clicked 'Sync now' on the 2nd machine and this does not all tabs are displayed. Any thoughts?

  I created sync on my computer at home (desktop computer). I then put in place on my iPhone and it worked perfectly - showing me all open tabs, I had the computer at home.

  I just bought a MacBook Pro and want to get all my tabs/Favorites etc on the mac, computer at home. I put a synchronization on mac and coupled the unit and got the message saying that it is synchronized. However, none of my tabs or other data comes through to the mac.

  Does take a number of hours? (I waited all night). I clicked on "Synchronize now" on my mac hoping that would synchronize all of the computer to the main house, but who did not open the tabs either.

  Any thoughts?

  Hello!

  In order to view the tabs on other computers, that you have to go in 'History'-> 'tabs on other computers. Or type "subject: sync-tabs" in the address bar.

  In other words, the tabs that you have in a computer or phone will not show opened in the rest of your devices but they accessed through this menu option.

  I hope that clarifies the situation. I know that a lot of people expect the same behavior you describe, but when we tried it he finished is not not optimal.
