• Windows 7 icons on the desktop and start changed to dat file

  Original title: Windows 7 icons on the desktop and Start Menu problems

  I am running Windows 7 Pro with service pack 1 and all the icons on the desktop Start Menu has changed into something that resembles a dat file and when you click on it, they are trying to run a download would be and asks where I want to save them. Symantec Endpoint, Microsoft Security Essentials, or AVG will find viruses or problems with the computer. I spoke with the technology of Windows and he sent me the link to this page.
  I've never seen anything like this.

  Hello

  It can be disappointing when all the icons on the desktop and Menu start modified in a dat file. I understand the inconvenience.

  You can try to rebuild the icon cache and check if it works properly.

  Click Start, click Control Panel, and write in the box search folders options.
  b. now, click on Folder Options to open and select folders and hidden files (dot).
  c. open a Windows Explorer window.
  d. go to C:\Users\(User Name) \AppData\Local
  e. right click on IconCache.db and click on delete.
  f. click Yes to confirm the deletion.
  NOTE: This deletes the file to the trash. It is safe to empty the trash when you are done.
  g. close the window.
  h. emptying the trash.
  i. restart the computer.
  j. When you come back, you will notice the size of the file IconCache.db is reduced, and the update is now the current date.
  NOTE: If for some reason, IconCache.db isn't there or the size has not changed, then you can just restart the computer again. You may need to restart a few times in some cases.
  k. icon cache will be rebuilt.

  Hope it solves the problem. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.

• It cannot open any programs they all have the same icon on the desktop and start programs... why?

  All of the icons on the desktop and on the start menu have the same icon and will not open... I have new sony computer with windows 7... I tried to move music to a file to burn a cd, he asked what program I should use to open them have all records have the same program and open the habit... I don't run a virus, malware, none of the infected files.

  Hello

  You did changes to the computer before the show?

  Method 1
  I suggest you try the steps from the following link:

  When you run an .exe on a Windows Vista-based or Windows 7 computer file, the file may start another program
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505

  Note: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article: back up the registry in Windows 7

  Method 2
  The issue could be due to the virus on the computer. I suggest you run virus scanner online by using the Microsoft safety scanner.

  Microsoft safety scanner

  Note: when you do an antivirus online, you will lose data that are affected by the virus. Microsoft is not responsible for the loss of this data.

• 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.

• Just installed Firefox on a Mac under OS x 10.6.8 - 7.0.1 installation disc remains an icon on the desktop and whenever I run, Firefox opens a window asking me to drag the icon from Firefox to my Applications folder. How do I get this to go?

  I installed the app in my applications folder and everything works perfectly. But normally, after you have installed a browser, the installation disk icon that appears on your desktop can be ejected or removed without. Mine is back...

  Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.
  
  Open the DMG file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.
  
  You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead.

• With regard to creating a desktop shortcut to a Web site. When I drag and drop the icon on the desktop, and then click to open, I get a box 'print' on the site.

  When I double click on the Firefox icon, it brings me to the "print area". What is the problem and how can it be solved?

  Thanks for your suggestion. II ended up adding an element of the registry which fixed the problem.

• I lost the connection between the icons on the desktop and the program. When I click on an icon, I get the OPEN WITH menu.

  I click right-properties and I get C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found.

  I tried to download fixit and got the OPEN WITH menu.

  It sounds like your .lnk and/or your .exe file associations may have been lost.

  You can try to fix the ".exe" and ".lnk" file associations:
  'Windows XP file Association problems'
    <>http://www.dougknox.com/XP/file_assoc.htm >

  or you can try to do a system restore to a point in time before you had this problem:
  "How to restore Windows XP to a previous state"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/306084 >
  If you have a .exe association problem, you may need to run the restore of the system from the command prompt:
