When I connect to Skype it locks all the icons on my desktop and task bar.
Original title: Skype locks my taskbar!
Hello
Hi Rick,
1. is the issue limited to the Skype connection?
2. you remember bringing all recent software or hardware changes on the system before the show?
This seems to be a bug related to the latest update of Skype.
For more information see the Skype support link:

Thank you Joel S. Before I could put your advice into practice a friend recommended a friend who advised me to do a system restore, which he said he would be happy to do it for me. So look like an easy option, I agreed. It seems to have solved the problem (fingers crossed), but now it seems that I need to format the hard drive. If you have any tips on formatting hard drive I'm all ears. Thank you Owen

I lost all the icons on my desktop
I left my laptop open, my cat sitting on the keyboard and some walked. Now, I have NO icons on my desktop? I tried "Show Desktop", I tried some other Office of the Control Panel options. Still no icons. All other functions of PC appear to be good. I prefer not to have to do a complete if possible restore function
Recently, I have a case to a malware that changed the desktop folder attribute to hidden.C:\Users\%userprofile%\desktopIf all of your icons will disappear even when they still exist in this folder. The solution, remove the hidden attribute. -
I've updated my browser and still get the same results. Sometimes, after refreshing the page several times it will appear.
This occurs in safe mode?
Have you tried clear your recent history?
Also, try to check your plugins:

I'm not sure what I did, but all the icons on my desktop and start menu are displayed as Adobe and I can't open anything. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe but my computer does not allow me to uninstall. I tried to run system multiple programs of mechanical type thinking that maybe a virus because I have not changed the settings and they were all unsuccessful. Anyone with any suggestions please let me know... I arrived at the end of the roll with this thing. Thanks a ton!

Viruses such as the behavior of the Acrobat Reader software. I have a laptop running WIN 7 and kaspersky AV. yesterday when I started my laptop I see all the icons from the browser on my QuickStart bar have been changed to the adobe reader icon and also observe that many other programs on my desktop have changed to the adobe reader icon. If you click the icon it opens adobe reader. I deleted Adobe reader using Add or remove programs and the icons back to normal. Yet once, I downloaded and installed Adobe reader 11. the problem has resurfaced. then again, I've uninstalled adobe reader software and installed Adobe Reader version 10 with the same question back. I have now uninstalled Adobe Reader. Please advise on how to install a working copy Adobe reader which will not infect or impinge upon other programs in my laptop.
Hi imoorthy,
Please follow the troubleshooting steps mentioned in this document KB Application, file icons change in Acrobat/Reader icon.
Kind regards

I am running Windows7 Home Premium. All the icons on my desktop have changed the Word icon, and each icon now on MS Word. I was not able to change this icon back to what they should be. MS Word has hijacked my office.
Any help gratefully received
I could solve the problem by restarting, F8 to open the boot options, choose the repair mode and system restore to a few days before.
The user of the pc says it all started when they double click on a file and was prompted to choose a program to open the file with... they chose Microsoft Word and it changed all of their MS Word icons icons.
Hope this helps someone.

I keep getting the "this connection is not approved" in all the sites when I use Firefox on windows laptop 36.0.1 8. How can I overcome this.
Hi vijaysampath, please make sure first that the date, time, and time zone are set correctly on your system. If this does not solve the problem (or it is already set correctly), a possible solution depends on different factors:
- What is the error code indicated under Technical Details on the error page?
in case the error code is equal to sec_error_unknown_issuer, please try to add an exception on the bottom of the error page to verify the certificate, as shown on the attached screenshot:
- What information about the issuer of the certificate contain?
Please take these two pieces of information. Thank you!
