Jan 4, 2010I have a new Dell StudioXPS 9000 with Windows 7. The desktop shortcut icons that I create myself to run existing programs keep disappearing from the desktop all by themselves. Those that were already on the desktop when I received the computer and those that are created by new software when installed on the computer have no problem remaining on the desktop. I never had the happen with WinXP.

Jan 22, 2012Shortly after a program icon (some, but not all) is placed on my desktop, the face of it disappears and I'm left with a generic Windows icon. It still functions, but there is no face to show what it is.It appears to be a problem on my system install disk, since formatting makes no difference. In fact, I just clean formatted an hour ago and the first program I downloaded was Firefox, and the Firefox desktop icon is already missing its normal appearance.

Nov 2, 2011I have several users running Windows 7 enterprise, and every so often their desktop icons disappear, that is the icons they have created (shortcuts, and various MS office files) I have googled this, but the solutions offered never seem to work. They only solution I have found is to disable the UAC, but that is not really a good solution in my opinion. I am running Windows 7 professional and I have some strange happenings as well, although I have never experienced the disappearing icon issue. My issue is mostly with Adobe acrobat. I have acrobat 7.0 professional, updated as far as I can without purchasing a newer verion, and I'll be in the middle of viewing a pdf and I'll get a message that my configuration has changed and I need to re-activate my copy.

Oct 19, 2009I have been running 6.1 (7600) for some time now, and in the last week or two I have been getting some bizarre behaviour.My desktop has around 50 icons, I have always had lots on my desktop. Over the last 2 weeks, I find 5 of them (always the same 5) disappearing. 1 is to a hard disk, 3 are for DVD drives and another is a game.The devices themselves never disconnect or become unavailable...I know this because I was watching a DVD full screen, and when it finished...the icons had disappeared again (including the drive I was watching).Restarting doesn't cause this to happen. When I replace the icons and reboot, they are still there.

Apr 2, 2010Dell Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E7500 Computer Inspirion 545s 00 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 6GB Memory 750GB Hard Drive The icons that I put on my desktop for 3 of the Games shown on the startup menu will not stay on my desktop. I have done "Create a Shortcut" for Hearts, Freecell, and Spider and they will stay until shutting down. When booting up the next day, they're no longer there. These are the only icons that I have this situation with. The others are fine and do stick around for me, which I'm glad.Is there a trick to getting the games icons to stay put? Is there somewhere I need to change a setting for the icons to be cleaned up like I did in XP?

Jan 19, 2012I am going nuts with this problem and maybe you guys are the only ones who can help. Even Answers.Microsoft.com hasn't been able to give me a solution that works.Here's the problem:very time I start my computer and I click on an icon (on the desktop or in the Start menu), the icon disappears and this error message shows up about a dozen times:"Could not find this item. This is no longer in C:...Verify this item's location."I've done all of the following and none of them have worked: System Restore before certain Microsoft updates I get the same problem in Safe Mode The problem gets worse when I create another user account and use that account instead of the Administrator account I've replaced Avira antivirus with Microsoft Security Essentials and ran a full scan I've tried a Clean Reboot Full scans using Avira, Malwarebytes, Spybot Search & Destroy ClamWin, and various Microsoft downloadable fixes Windows Command Processor (CMD) > sfc /scannow Adding, changing, and subtracting registry entries Yelling and swearing at it... I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on an HP G60 Notebook with 3GB RAM with Pentium Dual Core T4300 @ 2.10GHzThe strange thing is about ten minutes after getting these icons disappearing and error messages, the system seems to return to normal. This morning I started the computer, let it run for 20 minutes without touching anything. Then I clicked on an icon and get the same problem: it gets sent to the Recycle Bin with the error messages.

Nov 26, 2011One night I turned it on to check my email, something went wrong but I don't remember what.Anyway, I rebooted it manually and it took forever to start again.fter the starting windows screen it was just black forever. Eventually it did turn on after like 5 minutes but things didn't work well.Here's a list of problems i'm experiencing:When you drag your cursor over an icon or a taskbar icon it takes a minute for the cursor to to highlight it.Any program you do manage to click on takes forever to start. Some programs don't start at all, windows live mail tells you it can't start because there isn't enough memory left and you sholuld check your hard drive. I know there is plenty of memory left, there isn't much on that computer.
I can't do system restore, there are no restore dates available and when you try to create one it says it can't because the computer responded too slow.I can't back up my system, that also tells me the program responded too slow.AVG free virus scanner (installed after this started) can't find any virus or spyware.Advanced system care 4 (Installed after this started) found plenty of troubles and said it fixed them but everything is still broken and functioning incredibly slow.Internet works but it is slow.Every now and again the icons and start menu dissapear and come back whenever they feel like it.
Pinned Taskbar Icons Disappearing When Program Opens?
Jul 18, 2012I've had my Windows 7 PC for a year and a half now, and the entire time I've had it I've had Firefox pinned to the taskbar, and when I click on the icon, the program opens AND the icon stays there on the taskbar. It has been like this since I've had the computer. This is how I want it.
I don't know if it's coincidence or not, but today I updated Firefox to version 14, and now when I click the pinned taskbar icon, the program opens and the taskbar icon for Firefox disappears. I know you can set up a quicklaunch workaround (I've done that, but I'm just not satisfied), I know you can click this and that to get a new window to open, but all I want is my computer back the way it has been for the last 18 months.
I can get the functionality that I had back. I've read in certain threads that Windows 7 is designed for them to disappear when opened. It was never this way on my PC and I just want my setup back how I had it. I tried rolling back to FF 13 to no avail.
Taskbar Icons Disappearing When Window Is Moved Off Screen?
Sep 28, 2012Recently with items pinned to my Quickbar, when a window is open and moved off screen the quick-launch shortcut is removed (so that when you hover over the quickbar icon, nothing displays). Normally you can always see the "shortcut" display of any window of that type open.In my opinion this is a great feature which allows me to remove clutter on the taskbar while still keeping the window open. This "feature" isn't working right now (i.e. no matter where the window is, minimized or off screen the "shortcut" display on the quickbar always displays it), and I was wondering if Windows was bugged, or if this is a toggle-able feature.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows Explorer Address Bar Disappearing
May 3, 2011I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, + SP1 and fully patched. 6 GB of RAM and over 1 TB of free space on the designated scratch drive. No 3rd-party modifications or hacks to the OS or GUI. Sporadically, my Windows Explorer folders lose their Address Bar. Sometimes this happens during a session, sometimes when I've rebooted the PC after previously shutting down and leaving some Windows open (but no apps running), but I've never actually see the Bar go.
What remains of the window will still be functional - I can navigate to other folders and files with the Tree pane on the left, for instance - but there'll simply be no Address Bar. (Which means no search input, refresh button or back and forward buttons.) I can toggle the Menu Bar on and off, but it doesn't bring the Address Bar back. Usually I simply end up closing that window; when I open a new one, it has an Address Bar, no worries.
It's not all Explorer windows that lose the Bar at the same time; typically, it will only be one out of maybe three or four I have open. And I haven't been able to find any pattern to when the Address Bar goes; it doesn't happen every time I use my PC, and I haven't spotted any pattern to what app(s) I might be running when it happens. I've been trying to spot a pattern, but haven't yet.
There may not be one; if I have two Explorer windows open and navigated to the same folder on the same drive, only one of the two might lose its Address Bar, so it doesn't seem to be location-specific. It's a completely legit, licensed retail copy of Windows, and I'm not running any pirate or hacked software. I have Nortons Internet Security 2011 installed and keep it maintained. And I don't seem to have any other problems - no identified misbehaviours, no error messages.
Windows 7 Disappearing From Hard Drive
Mar 22, 2011I have a custom machine that I just recently built a few months ago. Last week, I decided to upgrade the mobo so that I could have more ram slots and a second PCI Express slot. I swapped out the mobos, booted the computer, and everything was working just fine. The only problem is that I'm running Windows 7 OEM and I've heard that you can run into problems when swapping out hardware. My computer was working for about 24 hours after installing the new mobo but at one point the other day the computer just shut itself down. I went to boot it back up and all that popped up was BIOS. I inserted my Windows disc to try and repair my system and I came to find out that my Operating System, along with everything on the Hard Drive was GONE. I have never heard of such a thing happening. So I reinstalled 7 and basically had to start over from scratch. Another day goes by and the same thing happens. This is now the second time I've had to reinstall Windows 7. My computer is running fine now but I am afraid that this is going to happen again so I'm reluctant to put anything on my hard drive until I know this issue is resolved. I contacted MS but they aren't much help as I only have the OEM version of Windows.

View 4 Replies View RelatedShares Disappearing On USB Drives After Windows 7 Reboot
Jul 10, 2009What would cause 9 shares that I have on USB drives to disappear every time Windows 7 is rebooted? I have to recreate them every time. I did a test with another Windows 7 machine, using 1 USB share, and the first time I shared it with the 'Share with Specific People' adding Everyone to the list, and it disappeared upon reboot. I then did it through the Advanced Sharing in the Properties of the folder, rebooted and it actually remembered it. However doing it through the Advanced Sharing on the PC with 9 shares, it still didn't remember them after reboot. Why is there 2 different places to share anyway? I want to think 1 is for remote users and 1 is for local users, but then why don't they just say that, do they have to make it so confusing. It's totally not intuitive.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 - Screensaver Disappearing And Desktop Appearing In Loop
Jun 21, 2011I have my screen saver set at 15 minutes. I first noticed something odd this past weekend. The screen saver was on when I drifted off to the land of sweet dreams. Sometime during the night I woke up, looked across the room, and I saw my desktop. Other than thinking "why do I see my desktop" I thought nothing else about it. Since then I have actually seen the screen saver disappear and my desktop appear. I was on the other side of the room, not on the computer, the mouse did not get moved, and nothing happened that would cause this.
I've not been able to figure out why all of a sudden the desktop would appear. What I can do to keep the screen saver on until I want to go to my desktop? I noticed that after a while the screen saver would come back on and stay on a while before going back to the desktop. It's caught in a loop of going back and forth. In the grand scheme of things, this is not a biggie but I'd still like to know why this is happening.
Images Disappearing From Windows 7 Live Photo Gallery?
Jun 25, 2011I currently use Windows Live Photo gallery to edit and organise my photos. Its worked fine until recently.. after editing a photo yesterday I clicked on the arrow button to move onto the next image and as usual a dialogue box popped up telling me it was saving the changes made to the photo and I could click to revert to the original at any time. I moved onto the next image but realised that I'd forgotten to do something and clicked to go back, but the image had gone. I've searched through all my photos and looked in my recyle bin, but the image is nowhere to be found. I may be missing something obvious of course, but I'm scratching my head to know what has happened.
