I am able to copy and paste items onto my desktop. I can right click and create a new folder or text file on my desktop, I can move folders onto my desktop, but I can't move files from anywhere else on my hard drive to my desktop. Attempting to move a file to the desktop does not return any error, it just does not move from its location.
I tried to edit windowssystem32authui.dll - UIFILE with Restorator to customize my windows 7 logon screen.What I want to do is to move the user icon, user name and also the password editor to bottomleft of the screen. I found it uses layout and layoutpos to decide where a element should be put. But I don't know how do functions like "filllayout, flowlayout(0,2,0,2)" work.
I decided to run ccleaner again and make a virus scan. Some viruses were found and a lot of crap was deleted with ccleaner, I also disabled some things in the boot menu with ccleaner (or what is it called?). After that I turned my pc off but first Windows had to do some update. The next time I started my pc the taskbar and desktop were gone, the only thing that is there when it starts is a window with the drives etc.
- ctrl-alt-delete -> run -> explorer.exe -> normally the taskbar should show up but it opens another window with the drives
- replaced the explorer.exe file, nothing changed
- installed another anti-virus program, deleted some malware
- some other things I already forgot
EDIT: Forgot to mention, if I go to the control panel and click on "Taskbar and start menu" nothing happens, it doesn't open any window. Also, if I set a background and reboot the pc again, the background will be gone.
I turned on my sisters laptop and when i tried to open the internet the loading mouse icon would appear but it wouldn't open. This happened for all icons.
Pictures downloaded to my desktop keep crashing MS Live Mail when I attempt to attach one and also when I attempt to fetch one from Adobe Illustrator. However, if I load any pictures from anywhere else they don't crash. I also downloaded a game to my desktop and when I went to open it up I got an error stating the game was incompatible with my OS.when I know it wasn't.
I'm running Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit Every time I bootup my icons have changed size to medium and are shifted to the left of my screen. The auto arrange in un checked so i'm really stuck
I got a trojan earlier today that resulted in everything on my desktop vanishing and I have empty folders in the start menu.I can only get to the control panel by doing a search for it and I can't get to the part related to icons.I understand there is a program that might un-hide them but I read that it also makes visible things that should remain hidden.
I move the icon to different location but it go back to old location when I refresh desktop. I have already turned off "Auto arrange icons" but the result is the same.
After that i found that i can't move any of my desktop icons. I don't know if there is a direct connection with the istallation of SP1.
Also i found that vlc doesn't properly. I have tried different version, but the problem is always the same: i can't move the video forward or back. I don't know if this problem too is connected with the istallation of the SP1..
I was wondering if i was the only one that had this problem. If a move or ad an icon or a file on my desktop and then later, maybe an hour or so, i reboot my computer, when it finishes to load, the icons i moved or added just go back to where they were. But if i log off and then on before rebooting it doesn't do this.
Over the night I usually turn off my PSU, this morning, I turned it on, booted the pc normal, and the cursor wasn't moving on the desktop. The mouse itself, was lighten up, and ready to be used. I plugged the USB in and out, and everything were back normal.
I am having problems with moving the location of the desktop folder found in the users folder in my local drive where windows is stored to another partition. verytime I finish moving the location of the folder to another separate partition, it reverts back to the default location upon restart.I don't know what seems to be the problem, or if there is some registry fix to this
My desktop Icons are locked in place. I move them to desire position and when I REFRESH the desktop, they return to previous position. They also change size after a reboot.
1) I want to move Win 7 Home Premium from my desktop to my netbook.
2) I want to put Win 7 Professional on my desktop, hopefully without having to start from scratch.
I know if I buy Win 7 Pro, I can do an in-place upgrade on my desktop, but then my CD key for Home Premium may not work when I go to put it on my netbook? What do you think?
Okay, I'm not sure if this can be done as easily as I'm hoping. What I'm wanting to do is move already existing context menu items into a cascading context menu to organize and reduce clutter. For instance, I would have a cascading menu named "Scan with" and inside it would be avast! Internet Security and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.On a side note, does anyone know how to remove the following context menu items?Computer- Show on DesktopControl Panel- Show on DesktopImages- Set as desktopbackground- Print Rotate clockwise- Rotate counterclockwiseMusic/Videos- Add to Windows Media Player List
I don't recall any recent change before this issue, but everytime I start my computer, all my icons go to the left side of the screen. I temporarily downloaded a software to reset my icons when I start the computer, but I don't want to keep on having to go through this all the time. I tried the regedit...that didn't work. I tried right clicking the desktop and resetting them there...that doesn't work.
I mostly use my computer for photography. I keep a folder on my desk top where I store photos that I have printed.I also write adjustments I have made to the photos in "note pad" but find that I cannot move these files to the folder in which I want to keep them. Nothing I have tried works. Drag and drop doesn't work. Nor does using control+C and control+V.
