• My own Google Map icons are not visible in Firefox 8

  I have lots of Google Maps on my site, and they contain icons by default Google and my own icons, each with its own URL. They work fine in all other browsers and Firefox 7. However, yesterday, I loaded Firefox 8. 8 Firefox Google the default icons are still visible, but my own icons are now invisible, but their placeholders are still there. They are still visible in other browsers. In addition, if, now, I try and add one of my icons on a map, the process seems to work fine, including a landmark name appears, but the icon is invisible. The invisible icon is certainly there because you can click on the marker and be caught in the right position on the map for editing, but the icon is not visible.

  Thank you.

• The desktop icons are not displayed, but appear on the office toolbar

  Recently, my niece tried to take a picture of the webcam and use it for paper painted.  She then changed back.  The next time that the computer was used, all desktop icons disappeared!

  They are still in their folder, and if the Office toolbar is enabled, all the icons are there.

  If the office is a right-click, the options menu under rearrange icons by are grayed out. the display does not appear.

  It is not a malware problem; system has MSE and in addition, the nice people at MalwareTeks have crossed me half a dozen ladies without anything to reveal.  In addition, all dashboard software works very well in the start menu, or quick launch icons or toolbars of office.

  It is XP/SP3 with all updates.  Everything seems to work, it's just that there are no icons on the desktop!

  In addition, if a new user is set up, icons ARE there on THIS desk.

  Well done.

  If the system has installed Service Pack 3 and you have a XP installation CD is an older MS if you want SFC to run quietly, you can use your old XP CD to create a new CD to install XP with SP3 "listened slip" in it.  You will also find have such a useful thing in the future.

  Unfortunately, the MS Answers forum don't ask these questions when a new topic is created, or we would now.

  There are many how to tutorials slip stream XP.

  Here is one such article that works the first time if you follow the directions (you could lose a CD or two in the process of learning well).

• Windows 7 desktop icons are all links

  Have a new windows 7. flying over my photos from the old computer. Some show a picture, so I right click for hopefully display image in an another photo viewer. I chose the windows photo viewer.  All icons on the desktop has changed so that icon and I can't open anything. They are all links

  'All icons on the desktop changed to icon and I cannot open anything'. I assume this is the icon of the windows photo viewer?

  I think that what's happened is that you used 'open with' on a shortened. You can check by going to control panel > programs > associate a file type or Protocol with a scroll of program LNK partner should say unknown. I suspect now is said however: Photo Viewer.

  If so, there are two ways, this can be fixed. The easy way requires editing the registry but then you want to go this route.

  1. click on Start Menu, type regedit in start search and press ENTER. Right click on regedit search results and run it as an administrator.

  2. navigate to the following registry branch:

  NtVersion ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\ [ext]

  Replace the [ext] with the real extension of the file you want to restore the file type association to return to the original Windows 7 by default (probably .lnk). If you unsure, simply browse through all the Sub-touche under FileExts.

  3. delete the subkey named UserChoice.

  4. exit the registry editor.

  The second method is a little more work, can't fix it, but does not involve the registry.

  Since the default action is caused by the user (as it was accidental) choice, you can be able to restore everything simply by creating a new user account. See if the icons to return to their natural state, then knit. If so, just move all your files and folders and delete the old account. If you use Outlook, you also need to reset where it looks for files of Outlook, but it can be automatic (do not try to start Outlook until what everything is copied on the property). If you use this method, remember to copy the hidden appdata folder. Just show all before you begin the copy.

• Windows Phone 7 files are not visible

  When I connect my Windows 7 Phone (Samsung Focus) on my desk, the Zune opens and the sync is my media.  However, when I go to my pictures / doc (nom_peripherique) / camera... only some of the photos are visible.  I say visible because when you check the properties of the folder it says there should be more than 250 files and more than 600 MB.  Once more I open zune, it shows all the photos and says they are in the directory mentioned above.  I want these photos available in this folder, so I can handle my subfolders in my images.  Any ideas?
