Icons In Start/All Programs List
Jun 28, 2005I would like to put my icons back in the area that is reached via Start/All Programs/ and then associated
with the specific program. How to do it?
I want to remove the icons from my desktop.
I know I can delete those, but how do I get the icons back to the Programs
menu?
For example, once I drag the Word icon from Start/All Programs/Microsoft
Office
onto my desktop, the Word icon is gone from the All Programs list. How do I
get it back in that list?
Desktop Icons Go To Start Menu List
Oct 13, 2008When i double click on a desktop shortcut i find that the icon goes to the start up menu list( to the left of all programs) as well each time. Is there some way to stop this happening? I don`t really need the same one in two places.

Dec 18, 2005After 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?

Mar 26, 2008There was recently a problem with my internet connection in my community as it was out for a day. When I was able to get back online, there are all sorts of problems with my McAfee (i.e. I all of a sudden have no virus protection and I can't reinstall it). Also, when I go to add/remove programs, there is nothing there. Other programs are still installed in my computer and the only one I seem to be having a problem with is the McAfee, but I can't even view a list of programs that are installed on my computer. What could be causing this problem? and How can I get my computer back to normal? Is this some sort of virus?I've tried restoring my computer to different dates, and it hasn't seemed to change anything. I'm running Windows XP operating system.

May 29, 2008Unil this morning i could click on a little "up" arrow on the right side (not extreme right) of my taskbar to display a pop up list of my desktop icons. I could then click on the 1 i wanted. it was very convenient because i didn't have to close all my windows to see the icons. The arrow suddenly disappeared & everything became different & i don't know why.

Nov 19, 2006I have been having an ongoing problem in being able to install programs (diskeeper and Symantec) after I have downloaded them. Their advice to me has been to double click the "Event Log" in my Services list and set it to automatic. I have just realized that the title, "Event Log" does not exist in my list and I think that may be my problem. Recently, I upgraded my Windows XP Pro from a pirated version by paying for and installing the Genuine Windows XP Pro version. I had then installed SP2. I wonder if in all of this I have lost the Event Log heading and if anyone can tell me how I can get it back.

Dec 11, 2008I 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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedFix For Missing Tray Icons
Jul 6, 2005I 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.

May 10, 2007I 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.

Jan 11, 2006I 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.

Sep 20, 2006Today, 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.

Sep 1, 2007My 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.

Jul 6, 2005A 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 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
