Cannot Log In Anymore Missing Accounts / Icons
Jul 5, 2006
I am in desperate need of help. My Windows Xp Home Edition Sp2 (up to date) will not boot. I turn it on, and it comes up to the welcome screen, the screen looks as if it is still loading, but i click on my account (1 of 5 others) to login, and suddenly the other icons disappear and the hour-glass appears as if loading, but it just stays that way. I was able to logon prior to this and the characteristics were similar, some of my desktop icons were missing and my norton internet security came up with an error report saying something about not being able to properly run along with my mouse driver and my free ram xp pro came up with errors. I shrugged it off and went to look at the event viewer, but before i could start it up the blue error screen came up. I didn't copy down the entire code (figuring it would come up
again.

I was running a program called "Virtual DJ", and it's a dj program, that turns the resolution to full screen, but while the app was in the process of going to full screen, my pc froze due to a lot of programs I had running, so now, the resolution on my computer is not how it normal should be, meaning, its not crisp like it was before, I mean at a first glance, most wouldnt notice anything, but if you look close, you can tell the text and icons are slighty stretched and blurry, so im going to post a screenshot of this page,so comapare this picture with yours,and look closly.I tried a system restore, but that dosnt even work(different issue)I think ti has to be a problem with the video card? Is there a way i could completly restor all display settings to factory...

I am working on a Dell laptop that belongs to a friend of mine. She has a history of deleting folders she doesn't think she needs (can't cuss at her enough, it'll never stop!) Somehow she managed to end up with all of the Admin accounts corrupted or missing. It was actually to the point that the only User that would get past the login would fail afterwards and it would load setting from "TEMP" user.Anyway, the problem is that the only user left that will log in has the lowest permissions level possible which means I can't do anything to correct the problems. I actually managed to use the "Backup" utility to restore enough of the one user that works so that it no longer fails and accesses the "TEMP" user There are two different accounts that had Admin status, both of these say "accessdenied" if you clink on the folders, but if you just hold the cursor over the icon there is a popup that says "empty", both of them.

during a registry clean I accidently deleted the following folder HKCRCLSID
though I immediately imported my latest registry backup the computer froze. After manual restart the Windows logon screen misses the account names even the default administrator account and no way to shut down. I tried starting in safe mode and with the OS CD and always come back to the above mentoined screen. I donnot want to reinstall Windows XP completely new

After a malware infection (Inet2 and SpySherriff - which took over my desktop) I cleaned up some files, directories and registry-entries. Now, after the cleaning activity as explained by techguys, everything seems going well. All programs do start without problems (through the start-menu or the quick-start taskbar), but there is a small drawback: my desktop screen shows only my wallpaper, there are no icons. The right-mouse click on the desktop also doesn't work (although the desktopsettings are accessible through the control panel). I use WinXP pro. what is wrong and how do I get the icons back on the screen?

I've lost files that one sees under the 'Learn About' options on the User Accounts page, eg
? User accounts
? User account types
? Switching users
I have a backup and another computer to copy files from but don't know their location.

Well, not actually missing because you can find them if drill down enough: but in some user accounts the my documents folder ('User's Documents') is not immediately visible under 'my computer' whereas in some it is. I would like all users to have a view of their 'my documents' folder.Also, the administrator can see these folders, but sometimes they are called 'User's Documents' and sometimes, just 'User'!

when I used the "Sent To" icons inside explorer, there were about 6 items to choose from, such as "Desktop (create Shortcut)", "Mail Recipient"...Now when I right click on a file and select "Send To", the only icon that appears is "(A 3 1/2 Floppy".Where did my other "Send To" icons go and how do I get them back?

Several icons that should be showing in systray aren't there. The programs are running & I have checked any box that says to display the icon. Three missing icons are: volume control, APC power backup status, & MS new spyware blocker. Two network connections icons are showing properly. Does anyone know what may be causing this?

I noticed the other day that a couple of my tray icons are missing. I know I didn't uninstall anything or set them to not show. they just stopped appearing. To my knowledge, the ones that I noticed as missing (LogMeIn and DVD43) don't even have settings to hide them. When I go to task manager I can see that they are running in Processes, but there is no way for me to interact with them.

I have found fix for the missing XP tray Icons on the home page of Tech-pro.net. The solution worked for me just fine as suggested on the web site which was to disable the UPNP using the provided reg file.But that got me thinking that it must be something that does this other then UPNP and I found the actual culprit. This is really dumb but it worked. Open My Network Placers and click on the "Hide icon for networked UPnP devices" located in the Network Task area of this window. If there is "Show icons for networked devices" in this location instead then the problem must be someplace else.

When attempting to minimise a page, the icons don't show on the taskbar, but instead it just disappears behind the start button area. What settings do I need to change to bring it back to display on the taskbar again.

I just turned my computer on today and my taskbar is magically gone. I can't right click where it is on the screen and I know it's not hidden etc (i'm not a moron). I can hit the windows key to bring upt he start menu but I cannot see the bar, clock, etc on my screen. I've tried a bunch of things and nothing has worked. I thought it was just that explorer.exe wasnt on, but my icons and such are working just fine, and when I control+alt+delete it shows explorer.exe as running.

I have perplexing problem. Dell Dimension 4600 running Windows Xp Home. SP2. I have no icons on desktop and cannot load any background wallpaper through display properties. They background choices are listed but cannot be selected. I do have icons when running in safe mode. This system was infected with several viruses and lots of spy/adware. Had alot of trouble removing Startpagedu.dll and New Poly Win32 trojans. I am wondering if I missed something. Ran Spybot, Adaware, Webroot Spysweeper, eScan Antivirus Toolkit, Norton Antivirus, Hijack This, CWShredder, AboutBuster, Ewido Security Suite. All of these were ran in safe mode. I also deleted all tempfiles and made sure no rogue services were running. I am lost about what to do next.

I know this is a commonly asked question but the fixes I have found online so far have not worked for me. The problem is simple, my systray icons do not show up anymore but the clock does and I cannot access the 'hide inactive icons' check box that is in the properties area of the tray because it is grayed out.

Today, I noticed two icons that are normally in the system tray are gone. They are the blue battery icon for the laptop battery status, and the Windows volume control speaker icon. Yes,I opened the "Power Options" icon in Windows Control Panel, and under "Power Options Properties/Advanced, the checkbox "Always show icon on the taskbar" is checked. Yet the icon will not show. Same thing for the Windows volume control icon, in Control Panel, I clicked "Sounds and Audio Devices", and on the "Volume" tab, I have checked "Place volume icon in the taskbar", but there's no icon. They were both there yesterday, and I didn't knowlingly change any settings.

My problem was that there were icons missing in notification tray although they were not set on hide.I learned now that the most important thing on the way to find the solution is to know exactly how the elements that are involved in the problem are called..I am not english so that takes little extra time, so in order to find the solution as fast as possible I must always be very precize - to type more exact in Google.This little effort pays off..Oh..and there is always a tweak for whatever sollution, a good name to remember a tweak..Many pages with tweaks on internet.

A friend gave me his daughters computer to fix and I've been working on it for a week now and I'm more or less stuck on what to do, although I have a pretty good idea what the problem is. This system is a Dell with XP Home SP1,Initially it was infested with virus's, trojans, adware and spyware. you know the usual teenage stuff and the symptoms were pretty much the same as now after selecting the user name from the list you'd get a black screen (no matter who logged on) and that would be it. I could bring up the task manager with Alt-Ctrl-Del and run programs from there and so I was able to Run the add / remove programs applet and get rid of the Norton Anti-Virus and install NOD32, updated and cleaned the hard drive.(internet connectivity works find) Install the latest Adaware 1.06 and do a full system scan, remove all the various garbage.

I'm running XP Home on a Dell 2.6ghz Dimension 8300 with Norton Systemworks 2005. A couple months ago I noticed that when in Windows Explorer viewing files, the icons that used to be pictures are now a generic icon. If I change view to Filmstrip or tiles, some of them show, but not most. In Icon, List, or Details none of them show.

I just recently set up my grandmother's new computer. XP Home came preinstalled of course, and I just installed SBC Yahoo DSL. McAfee also came preinstalled however i had to update it. I also had to disable it in order to install the DSL. Shortly after i finished installing the DSL, I got an error message saying Windows had to shutdown to prevent further damage to itself. Now booting up I am missing my taskbar and desktop icons.
I cannot access any file on the system, as it tells me that the file cannot be found and to make sure the path is right
