Why do my Icons keep disappearing off my Desktop?

  • .....and where on Earth do they go to? Thanks.

  • Answer:

    If the taskbar is also disappearing, then Explorer is crashing. Hit Ctrl+Alt+Del, click the Applications tab, click New Task, and type "explorer.exe". If the taskbar's still there, right-click on the desktop, and click Arrange Icons > Show Desktop Items.

More info pls... but whatever you have mentioned...check this first... Right-click an empty area on the Desktop and select >> 'Arrange Icons by' >> See if the option 'Show Desktop Icons' is checked. If it is, uncheck it!! Or else lemme know what exactly has been happening!!

probably a virus. try the free scan on the trend micro home page. they call it house call. or maybe it is just the kids messing with you.

There is a file in the win32 directory that gets swrewed up. You delete it and it is rebiult on reboot. I can't remember the name but a search of the MS site should find it for you
