Desktop Files Are Visible In Windows Explorer But Not On It
Oct 4, 2010I have 25 files and folders on my desktop but only 15 are visible when viewing the desktop directly. All of them are visible when viewing the desktop in Windows Explorer. I have two monitors configured as one and keep all desktop items on one of them. I've tried selecting everything with CTL-A while on the desktop and moving them around as a group, to see if the missing ones might have somehow scrolled off the screen, but that doesn't reveal them.

Before the last machine was upgraded, there was no extra mouse visible, but suddenly there is another mouse icon following my mouse icon.
Is there anyway this extra mouse icon can be removed?]

Missing Shortcuts On Desktop?
Aug 14, 2010Using Windows 7 Pro (32 bit) Everything going on well then all pf a sudden, I lose all my short-cuts on my desktop.

May 11, 2009I 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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedTwo Document Shortcuts Missing From Desktop?
Feb 19, 2012I just noticed that shortcuts to two docs; one Word doc and one Excel sheet have disappeared from the desktop. They are still on the hard drive. I have the shortcuts as I use them every day.
I definitely did not delete the shortcuts. And I am the only person who uses this PC. I wondered if I got a virus, as I recently visited a reputable forum but its main page has been hacked. (The hackers stated so!)
I did a MalwareBytes Quick scan and it did not detect anything, but half way through its scan Windows said there was a threat and to click "Clean Threat" or whatever - and it got rid of it, but I could not find a way of finding out what the threat was.
how to find that the Windows threat was? And what could have caused the files to disappear?
Shortcuts On Desktop Disappear After 1 Week?
Jul 30, 2012I have a number of shortcuts to often used folders and drives on the work LAN set up on my desktop.

I keep copies in another directory, so can replace them fairly easily, but it's really frustrating that nobody seems to be able to explain what is going on
View 1 Replies View RelatedDesktop Shortcuts Disappear After Boot
Dec 29, 2009I have two minor issues with 7. First, I placed several shortcut incons from the Admin folder on my desktop for convenience --ie. Device Mgr, Disk Mgmt, Event Viewer, My Computer, etc. Every time I boot up, only these admin icons disappear. None others are affected.
Secondly, whenever I dbl-click a .VOB file from a DVD folder, the Windows Media Player pops up the size of a 4" square. However, before in Vista it always appeared the size I left it when I logged off last; Vista remembered its size.. Even after re-sizing it, upon launch it starts out small in 7. Why doesn't 7 remember the size? What to do?

View 9 Replies View RelatedDefault Web Browser And Desktop Shortcuts
Jun 15, 2012On my last computer I had found a way of putting website shortcuts right onto my desktop. It was really convenient because I could keep all my casual "play" bookmarks in the browser itself, and important sites for things like banking and online bills were accessed from a special corner of my desktop. I've since built a new computer and I don't remember how I did it before. My primary browser is Chrome and I can't find a way to save bookmarks to the desktop. What I've been forced to do is right click on the desktop, go in "New" and then select "Shortcut", and then just put the website's URL. It works but the icon pictures are all wrong. On my last comp each website had a proper icon (Bank of Montreal had the BMO logo, Videotron had the Videotron logo, etc).

If I click the icon of the now 'open' folder, it flashes for a split second again (just like it did earlier) and then the process repeats itself!

May 5, 2011Usually I create shortcuts to Desktop to those items of Control Panel that I use most often (Device Manager, System, Display, Sound, etc..etc...). I do it so that I press shift and ctrl down and then drag-drop the items from control panel to desktop.Makes your life much faster especially when you install windows.I think the shortcuts usually disappear when you reboot the machine or install something new into it.
