Solve : Missing Desk Top Icons?

Answer»

I tunred my PC off and when I tunred it back on I noticed all my desk top icons are not there !!   !!

Whats up with that ??/!!!?!?


Thanks I too have this problem! But what I would like to know is what I can do to get back my desktop icons, without having to go through  task manager?Since no one at this site has any solutions I WENT to another site and was informed that I can use the XP Operating Disk and use the Repair option instead of the install option. I havent tried this yet cause I am looking for my XP OS disk !!??!?!


You could try this tool.

  • Please download Unhide by Grinler from here and save it to your desktop.
  • Double click unhide.exe to run the tool.
  • It will TAKE some time to go through all your files, so please be patient.
  • If this tool doesn´t fix the problem, please let me know.
I RAN the unhide.exe file and got two messages:

1) Finished your files should be visible now. if you still cant see the Start Menu disable any Anti-Virus or security settings and try again...


2) The E;\docmument ~1\admin`1\locals~1\temp\smtmp folder does not exist. Unhide cant restore your missing shortcuts.


Thanks


Did you do as instructed and saved it to your desktop?It wouldnt actually save to the desk top. I had to access and run the Unhide program through the task mamager.


Thaks Why can't you save it to your desktop?I dont know. When given the option to save.  I choose the desk top but yet nothing saves to the desk top but I can see it on the desk top through the task manager, weird !?!?

Thank You


Is there anything at all on the desktop?

You can try opening the Task Manager. Under File, select New Task.  Type in explorer.exe and then click OK.There is nothing on the desk top and when I type in explorer.exe absolutley nothing happnes.


Whats up with that ??I'm on a tablet right now, so this is from memory.  Right click on the desktop. Then Arrange icons by. Then show icons.When i right click on the desk top nothing happens. !?!?!?!?!??!
