By mistake I dragged the Internet Explorer folder to the Desktop and now I can't get it off the desktop. This is not the link to open IE but a folder with 2 sub folders (en-us and SCROLL) plus 18 files.It functions just like Windows Explorer. When I click on it I can browse my entire computer the same as if I was in Windows Explorer. I have a new Dell Vostro Computer that I just started up yesterday. It has Windows 7 Professional and IE 9.When this happened IE in the tray would not do anything and I had to drag a copy back to the tray.Now everything seems to work ok but I would like to remove the IE Folder from my desktop. It is not the normal e shaped icon but a folder icon.I have tried everything and I cannot get it off the desktop. I'm logged on as Admin. I know you cannot delete IE. I don't want to do that I just want it removed from the desktop. I could probably restore my system but I have already installed Visual Studio and other software so I don't want to do that.
I was attempting to export some links from FireFox to IE. It didn't work properly (no error messages). The error message when I attempt to delete the files says I can't delete the folder. That it can not be located
All my icons on desktop are internet explorer, when I try to open I get a window that says view downloads but when i try to open program it doesn,t work. The same with start menu.
I have a problem that seems to only effect the 32 bit version of my IE. When I run it, it automatically creates a file on the desktop. This file is unknown to windows and is differently named each time. Currently the example I have for you now is I�t. The names that it creates are usually close to that one. No extension at the end, just that. When I open this file, it asks the usual, what do I want to use to open it, when I get it open this is what it contains,

This does not happen when I use the 64bit version and I would just use the 64bit version but it does not support some websites. It has not always done this, only after a few weeks after install it started.
Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit After downloading a file with either Firefox 11.0 or Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 desktop freezes up. Desktop icons do not select and will not open. Right-clicking the mouse doesn't open the Desktop properties window. However, everything in the Taskbar and Start Menu works!
My desktop is stuck on "identifying" when I try to get an internet connection. My laptop wireless works fine. I have uninstalled all network drivers (including hidden), rebooted router, googloed for 8 hours now.
- Model of network card/chip? Realtek RTL8168B/8111b family pci - E gigabit ethernet NIC
- Is your Windows 7 32bit or 64bit? 7 64bit
- Are you talking about wired or/and wireless connections? wired (wireless is fine)
- Are you connected to a router or directly to the modem? router
- Is your network card/chip recognized under "Device Manager"? (its there and I removed all adapters (and hidden) and rebooted a few times
- Did you verify your ethernet cable to be sure there is no damage, or that it's not bent? yes
- Did you configure an Ip adress yourself or you left it do that automatically? tried both...I get a very wierd IP address 169.254.197.21 and when I try to get to router using 169.198.0.1 it gives me an error message.
- Did you installed the proper network drivers? yes
- Is there anything else that doesn't act normal? for desktop "identifying .. no internet access" on the wireless connection.. the desktop is showing error..BUT my laptop is working and at full strength...which is how I am commmunicating now. Have you used Spybot S&D to remove those pesky spywares that prevents the computer from connecting to the web?
Windows Explorer ( not internet Explorer) starts up when I turn on my computer ( without my request). This just started to occur yesterday. It must be in some startup menu . Where do I look for this to remove it ?
I've had a problem with a particular folder on my desktop for a while now and have finally decided to fix it. There is a folder that has some thing to do with Camtasia 7 (Software for screen recording and video editing) stuck on my desktop that I can't delete/rename.

I have been having problems with my new computer running Win7 Ultimate and have had to do an upgrade install. Now IE8 and Incredimail are unable to connect to the internet although Norton, Windows, System Mechanic, etc.,can all download updates
Why all desktop icons appear in the Desktop folder but not on the desktop itself?I set my desktop to show the Recicle Bin icon only, but if I open the Desktop folder in Explorer they are all there: Computer, Control Panel, Libraries, Network, User's Files, and Recycle Bin.
Sometimes when I boot into windows , I get the desktop but no icons , and the cursor point is a spinning circle . Or I will get icons but it seems to get stuck loadingHow can I troubleshoot this . Is their a program to see what is causing the issue when booting
My OS (Win 7 Ultimate) is giving me problems.Even the most simplest thing like changing the desktop background is annoying.Earlier I had Win 7 starter so I installed Winreview's Personalization Panel.Now , When I click on the Personalize & change the desktop background , it behaves like it has changed but it is stuck on those solid colors
heavy-handed cruising down my Favorites list accidentally drags an innocent Favorites folder inside of the folder above or below where the disappeared folder was. I confidently go to "Organize favorites" and pull up the list of favorites. Problem is: I can't just drop & drag a folder that's stuck inside of another folder. It just gets jerked back inside of the wrong folder. The stuck folder is forever stuck as it seems like all I am allowed to move are folders which are lined up neatly against the left margin of the list, not one that is hiding in the wrong place.
I've recently been having this problem where whenever my wireless internet disconnects, it's indicates it's reconnecting but never actually connects. I've tried turning the connection adapter on and off but it's still stuck saying it's reconnecting.
I still couldn't get my wireless internet to begin working on my laptop. It goes between saying "Identifying... (NETGEAR) No internet access" and something like "Unidentified (something something) Limited Access." I've had this problem for about 2 weeks now and I just can't get it to work.I had the rundll32 virus and I believe something called "PING.exe" and I got rid of them with TDSSKiller, but after the reboot my internet wouldn't work and I got a prompt saying that PowerISO couldn't launch properly or something like that. I uninstalled PowerISO but the internet problem remains.
I have tried shutting it down, when I turn it back on it goes straight to that screen again, no startup or anything. I tried shutting off and unplugging. Turns on straight to blue intel desktop screen again. Tried shutting down, unplugging, pressing power again to make sure it's off. Same thing.
Tried CTRL ALT DELETE, no response. Tried throwing keyboard...nothing...
But why would it stay on this screen even after shut down and unplud for more then 30 seconds? More than a minute?
It is like it was never turned off, and it gives me no options to boot from my backup drive or F8. just turns on to blue intel screen? Running windows 7...
When I try and change the background to an image it just stays as the solid color, I use to be able to change the background but I accidently set it as a solid color and I can't change it.I've tried Ease of access method.

I used to make a FTP folder in my windows, so that I can access the FTP folder directly through Windows explorer.But I don't know why I cannot do it now.I tried to use "Add network location" wizard, type in my FTP location in "Choose a custom network location".However, it popped out an error message that it is not a correct folder.I have checked the settings of the Internet Explorer, and reset all the settings, but it still cannot solve the problem.
There is one specific folder in the Documents library, which when opened directly (like from a shortcut on the dekstop) only shows "corrupted" files with unusable strings for all file names and extensions.However, when opened in tree view, the files appear as they should. So at least it's reassuring that the folder contents are still there and can properly be read and changed. But the issue is still inconvenient and worrisome.I have already tried chkdsk /f on the partition and even mirrored the whole volume to a new harddrive, but that didn't help. I also tried copying the whole folder to another location, it shows up just fine that way as well.
I really use the functionality of win xp explorer regularly (e.g., moving files to new folders as the project status changes). Is there a way to make win 7 explorer look and act like xp explorer. I also like the search feature of xp explorer and the fact that I can easily see the path name, creation and modification date. All of that stuff is essential for my work. If there is not a way to truly make win 7 professional act like the xp explorer (i.e., efficiently) is there a program I can use to take over this function?
I was unable to see folder 'AppData' in C:userssteven with explorer (W7). I tried unselecting 'read only', this didn't help. I then checked 'hidden'. I also applied these actions to c:users (Stupid I know). Now I can't see c:users and my favorites have disappeared in IE.
