Setting Default Desktop For New Users Windows 7 64bit

Nov 9, 2012

I work for a large corp which provides a standard image. I install this image, and wish to make changes particular to our area (About 8 offices)

Then burn the image for new workstations. I have been doing the desktop customization, show menus, desktop icon size, etc. I then go to C:Users and copy that customized user and rename it to default.

This works but has side effects, such as a new users default location for documents is always the original users. Plus some of our software fails. So I am now wanting to change the registry to do the same thing.

My question: Is there a way to edit the "Default User" in the registry so that it would be used for any new user? That way I could set the default registry and all new users would get those settings.

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.

Mar 1, 2011

When I booted up my laptop my desktop lost all its icons and a dialog box popped up saying:Location is not availableC:Users<Username>Desktop is not accessible.The directory name is invalid.I went to the C:Users<Username> directory and saw that my Desktop folder became a file...When I try to open the Desktop.. the open with dialog box came out. I tried creating a new folder with the same name (Desktop) and Windows says that a folder with the same name already exists.However when I right click on it and tried going to properties, then the Previous Versions tab.. I can actually recover my old files (1 week ago.. but I still need the current ones and of course use my desktop as well). How can I fix this T_T.

De-synced With The Users\username\Desktop Folder?

Jan 2, 2012

Alright, recently I've had a weird problem. My desktop has apparently.. de-synced with the Users\username\Desktop folder. It's a mild annoyance at the moment, because I'm playing with modding a few games I have, but sooner or later I'll actually need my desktop back.I can't actually move anything from the desktop itself, almost like the files aren't even on the screen. It's also not updated with the files I've added to the username\Desktop\ folder, nor with the ones I've deleted.I've tried system restore, but it didn't do anything.

Hiding Desktop Icons If Not Viewing Desktop?

Apr 23, 2012

I've been looking around for something that can hide my desktop icons (or basically anything except my background & bottom navigation bar) if I'm not viewing the desktop.In other words, when I have a (not full screen) window open, I want to be able to see my desktop background but not the icons on it. When I "view" the desktop, or don't have anything on top of it, I want the icons back.

Can't See Only Some Of The Icons On Desktop On Windows 7

Jun 21, 2012

I have recently preinstalled my Windows, it's Windows 7 X64. When I download something it goes to my desktop. But when I tried to download some word files and looked for them at the desktop they weren't there. I clicked to download them again and I saw it's really downloading them on the desktop, not another folder and it wanted to save them as xxxxx(1).doc, which meant they were already there. I looked again, I couldn't see them. Then after a minute maybe all the icons suddenly appeared on the desktop. Then another time I was downloading a zip file. It appeared on my desktop, but then when I tried to unzip it on my desktop again I couldn't see the unzipped file and this time it didn't appear. When I open libraries or some program and try to open a file on my desktop I can see them all, they're there. But I can't see them on my actual desktop.

Windows 7 Desktop Icons Gone?

Jan 14, 2012

My father is having a repeated issue with his computer. All of his desktop icons are disappearing, but he has show desktop icons checked.The first time, all of his icons disappeared but I was simply able to go into his desktop folder under cusers and have him drag them back onto the actual desktop. I have no idea why this worked, it makes no sense to me, but it solved it. About a week later, he lost all his icons again. This time, however, his cusers/NAME/desktop folder is empty

Corrupt Desktop Icons In Windows 7

Oct 4, 2009

From what I've read, Windows 7 has a known problem where desktop icons become "corrupt"; as in a white folder look. It happened to me in July, by finding, deleting, and re-creating the IconCache.db folder. That worked for me. Well, it happened again, so I looked up the procedure again. There was a registry fix, but I didn't see what was supposed to be changed. Then I found the IconCache.db method again. But this time, It wouldn't let me (sole user & administrator) open the Local Settings or Application Data folders to get to IconCache.db! Grrr. So I thought I'd try it in Safe Mode. Same thing- it wouldn't let me open those folders. Then, still in Safe Mode, I noticed the icons appeared ok. For good measure I right clicked the screen and hit "Refresh". I don't know if that was necessary, but after re-starting, the icons were ok again. Sometimes you stumble upon something good. Anybody know if the icon problem has been corrected in RTM?

Windows 7 Desktop Icons Won't Open?

Oct 16, 2011

I have a one year old HP pc with Windows 7. My problem is that quite a few of the desktop icons wont open, such as itunes, Advanced System Care4 etc. If I dbl-click on one, the pointer flickers momentarily and then nothing however if I open the task manager they are listed as running. Today I clicked on itunes and it didn't open so I gave up and left and watched an entire football game on TV. I came back 3 hrs later set down at my desk and all of a suden itunes popped up. Three hours to load the program. Same will happen with AVS4. I have turned off all start up items and shut down microsoft items at start up and that worked once then the problem began again so I tried it again but this time it knew what I was doing and went around the fix. )

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling softwares, registry fixes, registry cleaners ,Malwarebites,IOBits, AVG scans, Microsofts "sfc /scannow" but no signs of a virus or registry corruption. Even tried a memory scan. (said programs won't open from All Programs list either)

May 5, 2012

When I start Windows 7 only the wallpaper shows up, there are no icons or task bar. This is a newer HP desktop computer, only 4 months old and has very little use and almost nothing loaded on it.The problem is intermittent. Somethings it boots normally with full icons and taskbar (but the problem returns in a day or two, or the next time I restart the computer).I have seen on other posts to check whether "explorer.exe" is running. Have checked Task Manager and it is.Antivirus Programs (all up to date and run several times with no issues (in safe mode))

1. Microsoft Security Essentials

2. AVG 2012

3. Malwarebytes

4. CCleaner


Have run System Restore 10 to 15 times (sometimes will restore to normal for a day or two, then problem returns, most times still no icons or taskbar).Have run

1. System Restore

2. Check Disk

Windows 7 Desktop Icons And Toolbars Going Away?

Oct 8, 2011

I baught a new computer and everything was working well until my computer did an update. This was within 24 hours of buying the PC and bringing it home. Ever since the update everytime either i shut my monitor off or is going iunto sleep mode when i bring it out of sleep mode or turn the monitor back on all of my desktop icons and the tool bars are gone. I'm left with nothing but a backround picture and the rest is blank. I've been fixing this by right clicking the desktop and then clicking screen resolution and changing the screen to the other choice but this is a true pain to do everytime.

In Windows 7 How To Nail The Icons To The Desktop

Oct 27, 2011

In Win 7 How can I nail the Icons to the Desktop? I have just upgraded my wife to Win7, and there is one thing she hates. Every time there is a reboot, most of her carefully positioned desktop icons are automatically rearranged and jumbled together on the left side of the screen. Is there a way to keep the icons from being rearranged? I have tried various combinations of "align icons to grid" checked/unchecked and "automatically arrange icons" checked/unchecked, but they seem to still be rearranged on reboot.
