• Unexpected icon on the desktop called Null0 and have no internet connectivity

  my fathers partners last week computer has been infected by adware, which was easy enough to remove safely. But last night he told me his return (he thinks ebay.co.uk is at fault?). In any case, when I had a quick glance, there is an icon on the desktop, titled null0. # .rar, which he had never seen before. Brilliant orange white white outline of the letter X. The computer does not connect to the internet, unable to open the system restore and the pop ups are quite common. Anyone can shed light on what I can do? Also, there is little to no information around on the net to give me an overview of what this thing is and what is going on this machine.

• How to get an icon on the Desktop Web. I have windows 7 and 8 on different computers.

  I asked this question repeatedly in stores and friends and tells me that it is possible by clicking on the web address, however, it would seem that Firefox does not happen because I was only able to do so far. I used to be able to do it on Xp but now find it impossible. I use this facility to allow me to access a web page immediately instead of having to go through the search or a bookmark. I'm having the same problem with windows 8 on a different machine.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  There are several way to do.

  • 1 hold down the left mouse on the icon in the address bar, and then move the icon on your desktop and let go.
  • 2 deskCut {web link}
    This extension adds creation of shortcut on the desktop in the menu popup-Windows, Linux and Mac.

• Errors shown on the desktop every time that I boot computer

  Solution Center

  Module

  C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash

  9F.ocx Flash was not able to register

  HRESULT-2147220473.  Please contact the support staff.

  The computer seems to work ok when I close the box by clicking on the upper right corner, but the problem it designates is not solved. Anyopne has ideas on what it means. There is a program on my printers software called "Solution Center", but I reinstalled the printer software and still get this message.

  Hello

  -Were there any changes made on the computer before the show.

  This issue seems to be with Flash player. I would suggest trying the following steps and check.

  Method 1:

  To help resolve the error message, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

• How can I get rid of the Orange Fox in the middle of the page every time I have pull up of Firefox. Very annoying.

  I pull up to Firefox and jumping me out of my socks by a huge orange Fox. I hate this. I want just one page to pull up that has a search engine in the middle of the page, so I can start surfing. The Fox is attention grabbing and boring.

  To do this, the easiest method is to simply change your homepage. If you change this https://www.google.com/ or your local variation, you will get a search box of Google, no messages of Mozilla.

  Menu (top-right) > Preferences (gear icon)... In the tab "General" just change the address of the 'Home Page'.

  If you do not know what is the right address, open Google and then simply click "Page current use."

  Tip: you can actually set multiple tabs open as your 'Home Page '. So if you Google open research, and your box to the letters or facebook in a second tab, you can define who has your 'Home Page' and all 3 tabs will automatically open when you start Firefox. Neat.

• How can I get rid of the black bar that appears in the middle of the screen every time I have set the basic like the volume control features, or brightness levels?

  Hi, can someone help me with a really annoying (and I'm sure a simple to fix) problem?  I don't know if it's related to Windows 7 or if it's just my laptop plays up.  I recently upgraded to Windows 7 from Visa and whenever I have increase/decrease noise, brightness, etc (no matter if I do this using the key on the keyboard or via the control panel), a black bar appears in the middle of the display, indicating the levels that I'm reaching with the adjustments.  It's useful... except it does not disappear after that I'm done.  The bar stays there for all the time that I am connected and text blocks, images on the screen that I can't minimize or even move it out of the road.

  Hi Mkum

  The bar you describe look like this image?

  

  If so, this is part of the HP software that is installed on the computer.

  Here is a link to the HP support forum where this utility is supported.

• New investment of Vista icon on the desktop

  My Vista desktop is set to show medium icons, with autoarrange and snap to grid.  Whenever I have create a new icon on the desktop (i.e. save a file it), it seems just under the computer icon in the upper left corner.  However, I keep a number of icons on my desktop, so it moves all other icons to the bottom and to the right.

  In Windows XP, all the new icons would be automatically placed to the "end" (in bottom right) of all the icons already on the desk.  Is it possible to get Vista to do the same?

  It's just more convenient to always have the old icons in the expected location and new appear on the "end" of the list.

  Thank you.

  Open your office in Explorer and sort by date descending. You must use the setting in Folder Options to allow the records to be kept their own settings.
