  I lost the icons at the top of my desktop (internet explore, empty bin, etc..)  How to make a comeback?

  If you see this on your desktop, it is not a Windows application. It's a Dell? Are you referring to the Dell docking station?

  Start | All programs | Dell folder. The Dell Dock is listed here? If no, go to: start | Search and type Dell Dock. A bit of luck with that?

  If you have lost your machine, you can download it here.

• Desktop icon of Web Page

  
  Hello-
  
  I have a client who wants to put me a link on their Web site that will add a desktop icon to the machine of the visitor. In other words, their Web page will be a text that says something to the effect of "To add a desktop icon that links to our site, click here" it will be then add a desktop icon on the user of the machine which, once clicked, you open a browser and load their site. I don't have any idea how to do it and found nothing on this subject of Web search, other than to find other people who want to do the same. Can anyone help?
  
  Thanks in advance!

• Desktop icon text color on the top

  I would like to change my Desktop Icon TEXT black or other color so I can READ the TEXT under the icon. Wallpaper is a picture that I took has a very pale blue sky almost white. You don't see the text under the icon because the text is white, even when I put my cursor on the desktop icon.  I have Vista Ultimate.

  Hello, Jeff WTR755,.

  Thank you for posting.   What you're trying to do is possible, all in Classic skin Mode.  You can do so by following the steps I have provided below.  Please pay attention to the " " " to change the colors on your computer if you have no Windows Aero"section.
  
  Please let me know if this helps you.

  Change the colors on your computer

  1. You can change the color of your window frames, the start menu and the taskbar.

  2. Click to open personalization.

  3. Click on window color and appearance.

  4. Under the window color and appearance, click the color you want, and then click OK.

  Note

  • If you see the dialog box appearance instead of the window color and appearance settings, the theme might not be set to Windows Vista, the color scheme might not be set to Windows Aero, or the computer might not meet the minimum hardware requirements for running Windows Aero. For more information, see solving problems with Windows Aero.

  To change the colors on your computer if you don't have Windows Aero

  1. If you have determined that you do not have Windows Aero, you can still change some colors on your computer.

  2. Click to open appearance settings.

  3. Click Advanced.

  4. In the item list, click the part of Windows that you want to change the color.

  5. In the color list, click the color you want.

  6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each component of Windows which you want to change the color, and then click OK.

• Problem desktop - desktop icons duplicated

  original title: desktop problem

  For some unknown reason, a second series of icons of desk top of page now appears on the right side of my screen with a 1.5 inch - wide column. Thus, active desktop is now above and to the left of this column. I tried to highlight and delete the unwanted column, but it will not highlight or remove. I also tried a system restore, but that does not solve the problem either.

  So I guess it's an aspect of office (or Office reconfiguration) problem. Can someone tell me how to get rid of the second series of icons on the right hand side, so my active desktop back to the entire screen?
  Thank you

  I play runescape and lately to get java error on my desktop icons very much, they are labeled hs_err_pid followed 3 different numbers, help please

  Hi madsman,

  Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum

  For better support please give us the exact error code.

  This could well be a virus problem. If your step would be to run a full scan of PC online using the following link:
  http://OneCare.live.com/site/en-us/Center/whatsnew.htm
  Then, go to your Control Panel and open "Programs and features" and tell us what version of the Java Application you have.

  If you have a Version that is older, then you must remove the older version of "Programs and features" and install the latest version by visiting here: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

  It is normally acceptable to load new versions of Java on top of older versions, but in this case we want to start over with a latest full version.

  Scroll down a bit to the "Download Windows Section" and download/install "Windows 7".

  After download/install this newer version. Close all windows and applications that may be running and "restart" your computer.

  Then click the link once more to return to the download page and select the link that reads "Check Java has been installed properly" If the application downloaded/installed correctly then this test will let know you that Java is working properly.

  Your last step would be to run a malware scan using this link:
