These "icons" on the top of my screen disappeared when I did an update. Means the part of the update? Or I can get back them on the desktop?

I have Windows Vista, Dell computer and I ran an update today (October 25) and when I restarted my computer, on top of my desktop icons have disappeared, I can't find them in the control panel to restore. Are they supposed to be extinct? Or I can restore them somehow? I was able to get my Recycle Bin on the desktop, but the music/media, support, etc. icons have disappeared.

  • All icons on the desktop have turned to photo viewer and cannot open these programs

    I recently had my computer up to date. Everything was fine until I put my memory stick in the laptop and tried to download my back upwards. Now, when I turn the laptop on the icons does not load and are all stuck in photo viewer and I cannot open programs at all. Can anyone help please, thank you

    Original title: icons on the desktop

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that you are having a bad "file extension association. This is where the default program to open a file is incorrect. In the case of your office, these are all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) and the. LNK Association was by mistake coupled with Photo Viewer.

    I've seen this happen when opening a program via a shortcut (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After you have selected the photo viewer (or another program) via the Select a program from a list of programs installedand check always use the selected program to open this type of file (circled in red below), the document or program referenced by the shortcut of origin opens in the Photo Viewer as it should.

    The problem is that now all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) on the desktop or in the Explorer will want to be opened by the photo viewer and often use the icon Photo Viewer to display the shortcut no matter what shortcut was originally intentioned to open. This is known as a file association and the default icon. The same condition can occur if you have performed these actions 'Open with' on one. JPG or even a. EXE, but the. LNK explanation is much more likely for the items on the desktop.

    The good news is that a small free utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is also a registry hack to achieve, but I recommend the utility unASSOC for its ease of use.

    You can get a copy of my OneDrive here. I used to send people elsewhere to download a copy, but this page is more in addition to confusion with misleading ads to download this and this computer of powders of snake oil "fixed".

    Just download, then use the utility to unassociate the. LNK files for the user or globally delete the file type and let windows rebuild a new default.

  • Is it possible to change the size of icons on the desktop?

    Is it possible to change the size of icons on the desktop? My computer crashed recently the only thing I could do was to reformat my hard drive and reinstall windows XP Service pack 3. Now I have these giant icons which cover half of my screen.

    Original title: the Windows desktop icons

    That has to have been the easy way, but...
     
     
    Right click on the desktop | Properties | Appearance | Advanced button. In the menu item drop-down select icon.  Change the size of the icons there.
     

     
  • Size of icons on the desktop

    The icons on my desktop got a huge while I was working.  I tried to change the resolution of the screen, but it has no effect.  The police is of normal size, but the icons are huge.  How to make their return to normal?

    Method One

    1 / right-click on a vacant part of the Office .

    2 / in the drop-down menu , click the view option.

    3 / in the context menu , click one of the following options:

    • Large icons.
    • Medium-sized icons.
    • Classic icons.

    The classic icons option will reduce the size the most.

    Second method

    If you really want to control the size of the icons on the desktop, then here is a tweak that is really simple to do exactly that.

    1 / make sure that the Office is at the point. In other words, click the office button to bring the Office to forward (assuming that you have other programs open).

    2 / place your mouse on a free part of the desktop, and then hold down the CTRL (control) key.

    3 / press CTRL and hold, and then, with your mouse scroll button, scroll the mouse towards the wheel upwards or downwards to increase or decrease the size of the icons.

    4 / once the icons are the size you want, release the CTRL key.

    5 / your desktop icons should now appear in a more appropriate size.

    2. click on adjust the resolution of the screen.

    3. in the drop-down color menu, select medium (16 bit).

    4. click on apply.

    5. when Windows you asked if you want to keep these settings, click No to restore your 32-bit color depth.

    6. restart your computer.

  • Cannot add icon on the desktop

    I just installed a program call CCCleaning using Download.com. After you install the software to clarify on any virus that I might have, I rebooted my computer. Once started all my icon on my desk right away. When I try to right click on my mouse, nothing appears. So what I did I pres Ctrl + Alt + Delete, the the window Task Manager appears. When I select the new task, I can pick a certain program it will open. BUT when I try to drag an icon on the desktop, it won't let me. Looks like they disable me to run any shortcut on the desktop. I can open all programs unless I open the Task Manager window and select new task.

    So, I would like to know what I did wrong? Can someone solve this for me?

    Thank you!
