all my desktop icons were gone I have not all documents, photos etc frpm a user account
Original title:
User accounts
I have 3 user accounts on my welcome screen which is admin. normally, I click on my own account. When I made the other day all my desktop icons went I have all the documents, pictures, etc. I though I had lost them up to what I went to c/users/selected my user account and everything is there. I seems the account that I click the home screen is not a link to my account?
Please can someone help?
I tried to restore to an earlier date that did not work.
When you create a new user, the directory will not present until you connect for the first time this new user. The fast way so disconnect and connect under the newly created user. After that, the folder would be present.
The way alternative copy of the files on an external drive and copy then back also works, but there are also that you connect as long as this new user to do this.
The top of the default user folder account Security page is [heart] to this user and administrators only (that's why the lock symbol). You should be able to bypass this security, if you are signed in with an account that has administrator privileges. Otherwise, you will need to log on as the owner of this folder, right-click on the folder-> Security (tab) and change the security to allow access by other users.

Long story short, all my desktop icons and pretty much everything else opens under the same program.
I deleted the program that went all other programs and now all the desktop icons are left white and they don't know where to go.
I saw several responses to this before, but none of them were really clear. How can I get my programs to open to their original programs?
Could someone please provide a detailed response, I'm pretty new to this. Thank you.
Hello
It's like as if all your slots target for your shortcut got a little messed up. Here is a list of the simple troubleshooting steps that I suggest.
- When this problem started to happen
- Have you made a change to your system, such as installing the software before that happens?
- Have you tried to delete the shortcut icons and create new ones on the oldest?
- Have you tried to change the target location manually? -To do so, right click on any shortcut icon of the present Office on your computer, locate your target and see if it takes you directly to your location of program if not, go to your local disk, program files and scroll to the program that you want as a shortcut on your desktop. Then go on the address tab and click once. Copy and paste the address into the location your shortcut properties target.
Hope this helps,
Kind regards
