Windows 7 folders public icon missing

Hi all

I see this problem has affected many people, but what fixed their problem does not work for me.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate x 86, update, installed, but cannot access the public folder unless I go directly to the C:\Users\Public myself.  I showed all and not hidden, except the system files, and any public folder appears from nowhere.  No open/save dialog box shows the public folder as an option.  I even tried the registry fixes and they do not work.

What Miss me?  Where MS hide public folder icon and why is he not show as an option in an open/save dialog?

Thanks for any help,

Charles

Go the Long path to the Public folder on registration,

On the right, click it and point to send to,

Click Desktop create shortcut.

Public folders are listed under Pictures.../ (libraries) my photos..., public photo... would be listed next.

    I use a PC running Vista 32.

    When you click on the start icon (circle of windows) I see a lot of white space (where the icons should be) then at the bottom it says all programs with an arrow. When I click on this all programs with arrow icons appear, but I normally click here to see the show. Do not know what happened...

  • Sharing tab in the properties of files of Windows 7 Home Premium is missing. How can I get that back?

    Sharing tab in the properties of files of Windows 7 Home Premium is missing. How to get back I have?

    For some tab part of reason is of type int is no longer visible the properties of folders. The other tabs (general, security, previous Versions, customize) are still there.
    How can I get that back in Windows 7 Home Premium?
    I have spent hours searching all over for a solution and tried several but none have worked yet.
    Thanks for any help.
    It's really frustrating.

    First thing, I looked for. The "Share With" was not there either. Abandoned and went the long way on this subject for that to be resolved more quickly.

    A disk image backup, re-installed Windows 7 and found the ntshrui.dll keys in the registry and it has exported to my office. Restore the disk image and import the key in my registry.
    All back to normal now. Tab share is present. Problem solved.
  • Covered by the generic icon missing icons

    http://oi58.Tinypic.com/10pmwjn.jpg

    As you can see that if you look at the provided photo shortcut on the desktop icons are covered by the generic icon missing and I can't seem to solve this problem I tried to change the icon that changes just the icon behind the missing icon. I also tried clearing and or deleting the iconcache.db helped several ways nothings. I have also scanned against viruses and malware and found nothing im using mcafee and malwarebytes anti-malware. shortcuts on the start menu are very good in the way, in case you're wondering. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 perfectly up-to-date.

    If you need additional information please let me know and I'll try to provide it.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Kevin,

    I wish that you open the elevated command prompt and run these commands.

    ie4uinit.exe - ClearIconCache

    Taskkill /IM explorer.exe/f

    DEL "% localappdata%\IconCache.db" /A

    Shutdown /r /f/00 t

    This will rebuild the icon cache.

    I would like to know if it works for you.

  • Move icon missing in the files downloaded in the clouds, so how do I move a file in a folder?

    Move icon missing in the files downloaded in the clouds, so how do I move a file in a folder?

    If you are on the page of files where all your files and folders are listed, then there are two ways to move:

    The thumbnail (can only move a file or folder at a time):

    • Click the triangle to display under the thumbnail.
    • In the options that appear, select the Move button.

    The list view (can move several files and folders):

    • The check boxes for the files and folders that you want to move.
    • The menu bar at the top left changes has a Move button.

  • Could someone tell me how to stop the folders and icons rearrange themselves

    Before I updated to El Capitan I could arrange the files on my desktop or in any folder in the finder, in order that, I opened I wanted and they would REMAIN THAT of the WAY. Now, folders and icons in the folders reorganize themselves, usually in alphabetical order, each time that I add, delete, or move something in a folder. This causes a serious pain for me and make my extremely inefficient workflow.

    I managed to stop the folders on my desk of reorganization by going to view > options > sort by selecting: None (thanks Mac forum) and I can do this in a folder if I want to rearrange things myself, but I seem to need to do this individually for every single folder and there is no guarantee that the next time I turn on my computer it will be always in that order. El Capitan before I could move my files manually on my desk and in a folder and if things got a little messy, or I wanted to start, I simply chose sort > by name and everything would be perfectly back to alphabetical, as a grid, on the right side of my screen, or in a grid at the top of a file. AND... If I wanted to manually move a folder or icon after sorting by name, I could still do it, without having to go to tri: No. Now, if I say sort: None, which seems to be the only way to manually sort the icons or folders, all of a sudden my own grid of files are everywhere in my office or mixed into a folder, unlike before where they would simply stay in a grid in alphabetical order, making it much easier to find things when manually reorganize. In my workflow, I need to be able to fix things and make them stay there, then, how do it works as before. Is could someone please tell me if there is a simple way to get things to work like they used to, when the only time where my files or icons arranged themselves was when I SAID to THEM, keeping in mind I'm not that computer, so if it's code, or go beyond the preferences or settings , you've lost me.

    Click on the desktop, command J > sort by none
