I went to my user name sisters and noticed that its Desktop App/icon is not in the list of Apps. How do go back to the list of selections?
Type the word "desktop", then right-click in the search results to choose "pin to start."

What happened to my desktop and everything on it?
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on a laptop SONY Viao. Yesterday, when I went to start a second ago three notices at the bottom of the screen, I didn't have time to read (but something on a different desktop computer running) and now my office has only pgm icons and default Windows background. My documents, all seem to have disappeared as well as my photos, other than what is in my recycling bin. Downloads is empty. This MS revenge for me not download Windows 10? What should I do about it? Help!
If all the icons on your desktop are missing or the office is completely empty, but you still have the Windows taskbar, firstly check simple things:
Right-click on your desktop, choose view and make sure the option "Show Desktop icons" are checked/enabled:
If all the icons on the desktop are missing AND the taskbar is also missing (everything you see if your background image or paper painted), start (Ctrl-Alt-Del) Task Manager and check under the processes tab to see if explorer.exe is running (it should be).
If explorer.exe is not running in the Manager of tasks, click file, new task, and in the Open box, enter:
Explorer.exe
Then click OK to start explorer.exe. Nnotice in the example below explorer.exe is not listed in the process tab, and it must be:
Another option is to perform a system restore to a time before this incident.
If you see the bar of tasks and office with a few icons and it seems that all or most of your installed programs and personal files is "missing", it might be that you have a corrupted user profile...
It is very unlikely that all of your documents (or something else) has disappeared or been deleted... they are just in a place where you can not see or pay a fine of their
This condition looks like a corrupted user profile.
When your user profile is damaged, Windows will save you in a temporary profile and that the temporary profile will not have everything you're used to seeing - but you can remedy.
Each user on your system has a profile of the user and in each user's profile are all things which belongs to this user - the Windows desktop, the taskbar, the menus of all the programs, Documents, music, Images, etc. Each user has its own set of these and if Windows you opened a session to a temporary profile you won't see these things.
You can use Explorer to navigate to the c:\Users folder and look for a folder with the same name as the user profile that you are accustomed to using - it is where all of your "missing" items are. You can see something like this in the users folder:
When your user profile is corrupted Windows will save you in a temporary profile and that temporary profile will not have everything you are used to seeing - but you can usually retrieve all missing in a corrupt user profile.
When you log a "Preparing your desktop" message may appear briefly following a message like this:
This message will fade away, leaving you with a desktop with a few icons - perhaps everything you see are a few basic things like a basket.
A temporary profile does not last... as soon as you stop or disconnect the temporary profile is removed and when you restart your system or log on again, you will see the same thing (a good thing to test).
Sometimes the problem is temporary and if you restart your system has a few times maybe things start working again (lucky you) but if it doesn't work you will have to create a new Windows user and copy parts of the user profile afflicted in the new user profile.
An another quick test to check the problem of a damaged user profile is to open a command prompt window and see the prompt says:
Open a command prompt window and tell us what calls it:
Normally in the users folder the user like this to user Jose opens the command prompt window:
If the prompt looks like this, it means that you are connected to a temporary profile:
When you open a window of command prompt that says your prompt?
Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.
If your user profile is corrupted and is unable to log on repeatedly, you can't challenge or recover - you must create a new Windows user account and copy most (not all) files from your profile corrupted for the new user account and then use this new account in the future.
Microsoft has an article that explains how to:
https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/help/14039/Windows-7-fix-corrupted-user-profile
Note that copy you all files except those that look like this:
- Ntuser.dat
- Ntuser.dat.log
- Ntuser.ini
One of these files has corruption in it, so you don't want to translate the corrupted files (or one that looks like it) in the new user account you created.
For example you would NOT copy files that looks at these profile corrupted in the new profile:

What happened to the desktop GUI HP 7520 Photosmart e-all in one?
The death of the printhead on my C310 printer, HP support convinced me by buying a given 7520 refurbished. I am familiar with the installation and everything went well and I have the printer wireless connected and working. But instead of the graphical user interface familiar to access printer features (printing, scanning, etc.), installation has placed 2 Notepad format on my desktop which are titled Notepad files: HPSPProgress and HPSolutionsPortal
I have a 64-bit Dell running Windows 7, if it is relevant to the solution of putting a GUI for the printer to my desktop.
For the record, clicking on Start > all programs > HP gives only 3 choices: updated HP, HP Photo Creations and HP Photosmart 7520 series . It contains elements of submenu such as help, study of product improvement, HP, HP Scan, printer Steup & software, product, Support Web site buy supplies, uninstall, update the IP and Wireless Printing Held online.
There is a submenu entry also called HP Photosmart 7520 series and clicking on it gives the aforemention scripts entitled 'HPSPProgress'...... .and then a second window opens with the script HPSolutionsPortal . (Try copy & paste them here by Poles should not exceed 50 KB).
Does anyone have a solution to the dilemma? Somewhere along the line, I downloaded a potential difficulty, hppiw.exe, but it doesn't seem to work.
TNX I know how to create a shortcut, but there was an error in the code. @HPSupport on Twitter pointed out downloadable patch available even if it is a fix of Windows 8 and my OS is Windows 7 64 bit.
Do not use Firefox as a browser to download and run as he doesn't get up on me. Worked well with Chrome.

What happens with my application if I cancel my subscription?
My question is: what happens with my published application if I cancel my monthly subscription to professional edition with Digital Publishing Suite?
If I downloaded on app store and Google play, it will still work?
If you have a professional subscription, your application can remain in the store and customers can keep reading content they already have on their device, but they will not be able to download (or re-download) questions.

What happened to my show desktop icon in the Quick Start menu when I upgraded to Firefox 4?
I value and often use the button SHOW DESKTOP which has always been in my QUICK START MENU... until I recently upgraded to the latest version of Firefox because he promised to be faster (and my experience online in spite of paying for "high speed" is anything but fast!). I see that the icon was not just moved but DELETED and I'm not at all happy about it. What happened and how I get it back? Thank you. (By the way, I don't want a fancy with a bunch of words irritable instructions. I need the answer in a format that can follow a student of 1st year. (Thank you.)
You can create a new shortcut easily enough. Just drag it into the Quick Launch bar on with the right mouse button and then choose "Create shortcut here" from the menu you get.

I turned on my PC only to find out that there was a problem. As usual, I entered my password to connect to my user account. I tried to run "purposelss" desktop application. No, I couldn't access it. When I try to launch an application from the start screen, the start over refreshes and screen binks as if I pressed my Start button. The same thing happens with any other application. I can't access anything anyone at all. I can't turn off my PC. Help out me.
If you ask these two questions, no, I did no changes to my PC or I got an error code.
I use Acer Veriton m200-h81.
Thank you. :)!

(1) reset store Cache - Windows key + R, type wsreset.exe, enter
(2) sync your App store Licensing charms, updated settings APP, sync Licenses

(1) sfc/scannow reboot once completed.
(2) dism.exe/Online/cleanup-image /scanhealth
(3) dism.exe / online/cleanup-image /restorehealth Reboot and try Apps, if still the problem persists restart sfc / scannow and restart and check if it is resolved.
Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.

You can install it on as many machines as you want. You are limited to be able to have only two machines activated at any given time. You can sign in and out at the need to activate different machines. If you try to connect to a third machine, while two other machines are already concluded then you will be asked if you wish to have the two disconnected to allow one to be signed again.
