The issue I need assistance with is that my desktop icons (graphics only) have dissapeared. The text remains and if I click on the text I am directed to the programme. I have checked the location of the graphics on the system and they are still there.During this time I have also had intermittent error messages which appear for seconds "Windows Explorer is not working" and then it reloads and I can continue. but still no icons.

Some Desktop Icons Disappeared?

Nov 17, 2011

This morning I decided to create a new user account. There was only 1 account on the machine, with administrative priveledges. I created a 2nd account and also made it an administrator account. I then logged off the 1st account and into the new account, made a few simple changes to Internet Explorer (Toolbar and Explorer bar options), then logged back into the 1st account. When I did, I noticed half of the icons that were on the desktop were gone. There are spaces now between the ones that are still there (previously had about 30 of them on the desktop all arranged to the left, aligned to grid; now there are about 17 missing). I am using Windows Home 7 Premium, service pack 1.

Icons On Desktop Hidden / Disappeared?

Jan 13, 2009

At some point yesterday all my icons where invisible when looking at the desktop. But when browsing trough it with explorer I can find back to them, or show all stuff at my desktop. But not without doing it trough explorer.The right-click menu still works, and I can change desktop-wall and stuff. Also tried changing back to default theme, and removing My Computer and taking it back. But nothing seems to fix it :S Also tried several reboots, but still no icons show.Tried adding another user, and guess what, he got desktop icons! So there need to be something I have turned off etc.

Half Of Desktop Icons Disappeared?

Feb 3, 2012

So I just upgraded my home-made vista home premium machine to windows 7 home premium. When I got into windows 7 for the first time, everything was as expected (only a couple of incompatible programs but nbd). My desktops icons were all still there and like I mentioned most of my programs were still running just fine. Then, late at night when I was fooling around with some files (either deleting stuff or trying to update drivers or something) I noticed my desktop refreshed and came back with nearly half the icons it had before. When I searched for those programs that the deleted icons executed, they were still in my computer but some of there icons had been changed to the windows default one, which sorta looks like a page with the top right corner bent in and a little M$ Window opened.

Deleted Duplicated Icons - All Files And Folders Disappeared From Desktop

Jul 9, 2012

This morning I was arranging my desktop files and folders. As I clicked the command to sort by item type, suddenly I had duplicates of every file and folder as listed on my desktop. I even had two icons for the recycle bin! I started moving one of each of the duplicated files and folders into one of the duplicated recycle bins.

I rearranged the files and folders. I then emptied one of the recycle bins. I then clicked on the desktop to rearrange the files and folders. Suddenly almost everything else on my desktop disappeared! There were many files and folder on the desktop that are now gone, there are only 7 files and folders left. Is there any way I can recover these missing files and folders.

Force Closed Firefox - Desktop Icons And Entire Taskbar Disappeared

Sep 17, 2010

Basically, all of the icons on my desktop, as well as my entire taskbar, including the windows icon, have disappeared. It happened about 20 minutes ago, when I forced firefox to close via task manager. After I hit End Process, the icons and my taskbar disappeared. I can't right-click my desktop either. However, my desktop background, as well as the toolbar on the top is still there, and all of my programs as well as explorer are accessible. I've done one cold restart, and nothing changed. I've gone into the control panel, but I couldn't access anything associated to the task bar, and my windows key does not work as well.

Restart Scrambles Icons On Desktop?

Jun 4, 2011

Windows 7, SP1 32 bit
4gb RAM

1) Every time I restart my computer the icons on the desktop are completely scrambled. Thankfully I have a program that will restore them to their proper position. Originally I thought this may be due to an infection so I ran MalwareBytes AntiMalware and SuperAntiSpyware Free and both of them had no infections.

2) Also, on restart two open windows appear.

Computer > OS(C:) > Program Data > Microsoft > Windows > Start Menu > Programs > Startup > -Disabled
Computer > OS(C:) > User > My Name > Appdata > Roaming > Microsoft > Windows > Start Menu >
Programs > Startup > -Disabled

3) I have two icons on my desktop, Libraries and Home Group, that I am unable to remove.

4) Sometimes when I start a program requiring User Account Control, verification is required twice. First on the taskbar and then with the UAC window. Other times only with the UAC window.

Oct 13, 2012

Something happened. Many of my icons do not work any more. I thing I have tracked it down to XPS Viewer. I get the following message:

"Windows Photo Viewer can't open this picture because either this photo viewer doesn't support this file format or you don't have the latest update to Photo Viewer."

The problem came out of nowhere but.. I was working with pictures and might have deleted something on the lower task bar. Adobe has disappeared too. Was going to try to update it but it is no longer on my desktop????

Program Icons Are Missing (NOT Desktop Icons)

Jan 5, 2013

Some of the icons normally showing what a program type is are missing now. I HAVE all the DESKTOP icons and those in the system tray. But in Windows Explorer lists or in Word Perfect and Word lists of file names, many of the small icons that normally appear next to a program's name, or showing what type of document or file it is, are now missing. Not all, just some. I have mostly open square boxes. It doesn't matter whether I'm looking at a list of files I've created, or looking at the items in various system folders: most are just empty open squares instead of the individual icons. I have Windows 7 64-bit OS , both Mozilla 17 and IE9 browsers.

Some Desktop Shortcuts Disappeared?

May 11, 2009

I played some UT3, made some screenshots w/ Fraps to the desktop, downloaded a vid to the desktop, and when i was finished, there where some empty spots in my icon rows on the desktop. I thought that something shuffled the icons around, but then discovered that about 4-6 shortcuts where missing. There where simply gone, i did a search for them.After some investigation (including examining my desktop backup) i found that all the missing shortcuts have a broken link (the destination doesn't exist at the moment).So, what is this strange behavior? Shortcuts that no longer work are deleted automatically without warning the user?
