Cannot Personalize The Desktop
Mar 8, 2011
Computer boots ok, the screen will stay on aprox 5 minutes and then the screen saver comes on for about 5 min and then the computer goes to sleep. I would like to be able to keep the main screen on for about 45 min and then have the screen saver come on for about 30 min. I can find no way to do this. I just got this new computer HP Sllimline with Win 7 Home Premium. It has 750 gig hard drive and memory is 4 gig, actual free memory is about 3.8 gig 3.10 GH AMD ATHLON ii X2 255.motherboad is a Pegatron Corp 2A6C. put in use on 3/3/2011 and not a lot of information came with it.

As of recently, my desktop wallpaper does not want to change size when I go to Personalize>Desktop Background>Picture Position. I chooses "Stretch" everytime even though I try using Center, Fit etc...This happens with different images at different sizes each...How to fix this? (Windows 7 Ultimate)

I know how to personalize my pc with different background colors. However, I would like to know how to use an image stored on my pc instead of a background color. I currently have a slideshow running with my favorite pics and the background color frames those pics, but I would like another image for the background instead of a color.

Got a Toshiba laptop and how to customized icons. My aim is to have icons only and wherein I can also replace the icon.
For instance, "COMPUTER" icon. I can only see the computer icon on my wallpaper area and no word "Computer" on it. Also, if it is possible for the computer icon to be replaced with a different icon such as my face..

I am running both the 32-bit Windows 7 OS on one machine and the 64-bit OS on another machine. Love it!, BUT on the 32-bit machine a lot of commands don't seem to work. For example, when I click on Control Panel nothing happens. Same is true with Personalize.

I recently had a really annoying virus which would not go away, after 7 days of fighting with it I decided the best course of action would be to format and reinstall win 7. However now my PC is super slow, I cannot open desktop items, without right clicking and selecting "Run as Admin" and even that is really slow. If I right click and select "Personalize" it hangs for ages then says "Server Execution Failed".

When I go to desktop and right click, and choose "Personalize", there comes error "Explorer.exe this file has no program associated with it ..."I had same problem before and found registry fix from net, but then it happened while I was using Win-E buttons. I can open the personalize window from control panel tho.

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.

When I save files from programs (aka Word, Photoshop, anything)onto my Desktop, I cannot see them directly from the actual desktop. I can only see them when I open up Explorer, and click on the Desktop tab. Then all my files are visible. I thought they were hidden...but they apparently aren't.It possibly seems like a refresh error.I did find a way around this..I go to Control Panel >> Appearance and Personalization >> Under Folder Options >> Show Hidden Files and Folders. I click on Reset folders, Apply, and then OK, and my missing files pop up on my actual desktop.But from then on, any new files I save are only visible in Explorer again. I don't want to go to Control Panel everytime I have to save something to the desktop? I've run Norton and Microsoft Essentials and I have no viruses. What can I do?I just found out I can also see my files after pressing f5 (refresh)so I guess the problem is HOW do I get my computer to refresh the desktop automatically?

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.

I have a really annoying problem with desktop icons.I use 2 monitors. 1920x1200 is the main dislay and 1600x1200 is another one for extended desktop. The thing is that I don't need it all the time so I'd like to switch the extended desktop on and off when I need it. Problem is that entering the ex. desktop just somehow changes the grid (it seems that the grid becomes more compressed in vertical direction). That means that it always messes my icons up. I don't know why do the Windows change the grid when I do not change the resolution or just anything that could possibly affect the main screen.

I recently upgraded a Win-XP home system to Win-7 Home Premium. Everything went fine. But I have four system icons on the desktop, two of which I want to keep and two that I'd like to get rid of. The two keepers are the My Computer and Network icons, the two I don't wan to see are the Home Group and Library icons. This machine is the only Win-7 box on the network so Home Group is moot, and I do not expect to explicitly use Libraries any time soon. So the associated icons are just clutter on the desktop. For whatever reason, the two keepers include a "delete" option in their right click menus but the two I actually want to delete don't. So, how do I get them off the desktop? I don't think any of the four were present on the desktop when I completed the installation, and I don't remember what I did to get them to show up.

every time I start up the PC the Windows32 CMD pops up and goes away after a split second. So I read earlier to use my Microsoft Security Essentials, Malwarebytes, Microsoft Safety Scanner in safe mode and I did all of that which took a long while but they all failed to show any files that are causing this issue. I also read that I needed to use a program Hijack.

When I see the icons on my desktop, I have 2 'desktop.ini' files. I see that one is from my main user and another from the 'public' user. Is there anyway to tell Win7 NOT to show the desktop.ini files at all on the actual desktop? I see that it is a 'hidden' file, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.

My windows 7 recently updated and now I'm having problems. I have read multiple forums about this problem but when I try what they say, nothing happens. It goes through its usual start up but right before it gets to the Windows logo it tells me that my files may be corrupted and gives a choice of repair mode (recommended) or start normally. If I start normally it goes to windows logo screen, waits for about a minute or two, then blue screens and restarts. If I safe mode it (along with multiple choices in the safe modes) it goes to windows logo and then blue screen restart. If I try repairing from hard drive it goes black then to a default background and doesn't do anything. I then try from disc. I try repairing it but it goes to a default background and then nothing. I then try to reinstall. That brings up a preparation background then stops.
I did find that when I play press the W, R, or Enter keys causes a reaction but to a small degree. I have tried almost everything. My hardware is fine and the bios says everything's fine. I have to hard drives, 1 is 1 TB, the other is 2 TB. 1 TB is Western Digital, 2TB is Itachi. The Itachi is my main one with OS. The western digital was my main but crashed. I try to take my Western out but the repair modes won't run right. I'm clueless at this point. Do I need a different windows 7 disc to try repair? Is there a special program I should try. Note: I cannot get to desktop and am posting this from a friends laptop

My elderly neighbor uses Windows7 on his computer. However, his desktop shows a blank colored screen (normal), but with a toolbar along the top of his screen with his normal desktop icons listed side-by-side in the toolbar (similar to how Yahoo Toolbar might look once online). His desktop icons aren't occupying any of the real estate on his desktop like all other computers I've seen. I can't drag the icons, or right click them to create desktop shortcuts.My friend wants his desktop to have these icons like most other computers do, that he can drag, create, arrange, etc. as the rest of the world does!
