When I create a desktop shortcut to a website that has a favicon, the favicon is displayed in the desktop shortcut. This works for all sites, except for CNet. Would appreciate it if someone else running IE7 would confirm this behavior, or let me know why I may be having this problem. For CNet, I don't get a favicon, I don't even get a generic explorer icon.....I get a "blank" icon, no icon at all.
View 12 RepliesI'm asking this advice for my wife's cousin. She just got a computer and is a real novice when it comes to using it. The problem she is having is when she launches an application, the desktop wallpaper image still stays displayed over the application screen. For example, when she launches Internet Explorer her home page of Google.com comes up but the background is not a plain white background but is the wallpaper image. The same thing occurs when she launches Microsoft Word. The document background is not a white page but is the wallpaper image. As far as I know the same thing happens for any application she launches. Unfortunately for me the computer with the problem is 200 miles away from where I live so I can't personally try to resolve this problem.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently using Windows XP home edition. On bootup, no icons or start menu is displayed. I have tried to right click and click 'show desktop', but all I am able to do is move the mouse. There is no other mouse function present. I am able to access the internet, email and run applications via the Ctrl, Alt, Del command and then selecting 'run'. All that is displayed is my background screen saver and the mouse pointer. Please advise me on how normal functionality can be restored. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI recently changed my favicon on my self-hosted blog. But the old favicon is still showing up as the shortcut on the desktop of my laptop computer after more than a week. The address bar and tab bar are displaying the correct favicon in IE7. I am certain the problem is associated with my laptop computer because my desktop computer, which never saw the old favicon, is displaying the correct favicon as a desktop shortcut. Both computers are Dell and have IE7.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI want to create a shortcut to a workgroup from my vista rt (http://lee-soft.com/vistart/) start menu. This requires me to know its path in the same way that My Computer's path is ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8- 08002B30309D}. Perhaps that is not completely true but nevertheless I need to find a path that will link me to the workgroup.I have tried right-clicking and selecting create shortcut. This puts a shortcut on my desktop but the path of it is greyed-out and simply saying the workgroup's name.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI tried to create a shortcut of an email internet link onto my desktop and all I got was a small rectangular white box. Try as I might, I could not remove it. The box is adjustable and can be made to cover the entire desktop area behind the icons but over the current desktop theme. In my attempts to delete it I have ended up with a white box about an inch wide from the top to the bottom on the left side of the screen. I cannot reduce the size any further but as I said, I can drag the right margin all the way across the entire screen.

View 3 Replies View RelatedStill using XP Pro but with with new motherboard,hard drives,RAM,I'm happy with it all except for some reason, I'm having a problem with shortcuts opening up a web site when activated by clicking on the Desktop icon. Here is an explanation of what is happening:If I have a "link" on an e-mail and click on it, the web site opens just fine. I have highlighted and moved that link onto the desktop so it will be a shortcut there. However, when I click on that, I get two things:A flag comes up saying "Windows cannot find (and then it says the link address)".The web site is opened underneath the flag and no problem with it.
