Make sure all your applications are closed whenever you run this. I don't have some icons disappearing. They are ALL disappearing. I can't bring up windows start menu, nothing on the task bar. When I right click the desktop I do get the normal menu, but nothing happens when I check and uncheck the options. I have to shut down manually. Sometimes the icons will appear after rebooting, sometimes not. Sometimes I have to reboot a couple times before my icons appear again.
This is really driving me crazy and in desperation I bought the Uniblue Registry Cleaner advertised on this site hoping it would help. So in my case, Luiz O suggestion to make the desktop icon with code encluded to rebuild the icon cache won't work because ALL of my icons disappear. Or would it help to run it to prevent future problems?
The icons seem to only disappear when the computer goes into sleep mode and on waking up the icons are gone. For safe mode: 1 - Restart computer 2 - When windows logo appear press F8 3 - Select Enable-low resolution video x Then just try safe mode alone 1 - Restart computer 2 - When windows logo appear press F8 3 - select safe mode Once the computer is in safe mode you can go to device manager use control panel and play arround with disabling some non-essential devices like sound, scanners, etc and see if that helps find what could be the problem.
Also remove any programs in the startup folder and see if that helps I confess I don't know what else to tell you. There has to be a minimum functionality for us to work with. At least task manager : By the way I am just another user like you, I am not from Microsoft.
There is NO way any user or admin should have to be editing registry files or running and scripts to fix this. WTF The poor souls are running restore every time to fix this Give me a break! Hope this helps a little bit. I found the cause of the misteriously disappearing Windows 7 desktop icons and the reason why Show desktop icons now and then gets unchecked. Check it on again and start Infrarecorder…. My problem: When I opened the control panel I couldn't see any of the categories or the application short cuts themselves, and I also couldn't see any of the links on the left side of a folder when you open it.
The solution: I killed the process "dllhost. I suppose that process was frozen, or something which caused things to hang. The other people in this thread with the same problem as me, also possibly have a frozen process. Since a few people in this thread also have the same exact problem, I decided to add this post to the thread. Not to mention pictures taken for sentimental reasons with in folders are missing You dont expect this to happen when you pay good money for a product, not forgetting that my mother is in her 60's how is she expected to alter registery settings and update bat files However - today I believe I have fixed it.
Haven't had a problem all day, yet before, I couldn't use my computer for most of the day! As soon as I got the icons to work this morning, I deleted all of them. I then reloaded the icons I want. Computer has been perfect all day! I think the problem is 2 fold. At night I will turn the computer off so hopefully, tomorrow morning everything will work perfectly again. Will let you know if it doesn't! Therefore, I believe the prob exists in the "transparent" thing! This is for shortcuts that delete when directed to a network address.
The removal of shortcuts is caused by a cleanup task in Windows 7 that is planned to run on sunday at 1 o'clock AM. This cleanup task scans the shortcuts on the desktop and removes any shortcuts for which it cannot find the destination file or when it doesn't have the appropriate permissions. This task is called "Diagnosis". To disable it: Open the Start Menu.
In the right pane , Right click on Scheduled , choose 'Disabled'. I enjoy Win7 for lots of reasons, why is it we have to find these dumbass problems and fix them ourselves? I'm still not going back to XP over this, but what will we find next?
A clean-up utility that deletes your profile if it gets over 2GB? I was having this problem and several other very odd things going on in Windows Explorer. This fixed it all. Find a date that you last remember you computer working and restore just that folder. Now the subfolders are there to get your icons back from. But I forgot how I spent ages trawling through hundreds of posts, all saying crap like reinstall windows, run a virus scan, blah blah blah.
None of which worked. But i think i have got it! I was having the same problem. I am running 7 home premium, 64 bit on a Gateway laptop, if that matters. I tried your suggestion and it worked. I have had sim. Have tried all fixs that i could poss. Am no amature when it comes to computer repair or building.
This might not be called a fix but rather a get around,why it works i dont know,but it has. PS let me know how you make out. I have had the same problem with 2 Icons only disappearing. I tried everything on this forum and nothing worked for me. I mentioned this to a friend who said he had had the same problem and fixed it - dead simple! I replaced the missing icons and then right clicked on the desktop and then clicked refresh.
I have not lost any icons since! Not just deleted but backed it up just in case. So I restored them. I solved the issue by disabling the Windows Maintenance service. Not a pretty sexy solution but it worked. I am unable to get IconCache.
Windows performs Desktop Cleanup and if shortcuts point to a location not visiable at the time the cleanup task is ran and the number of these types of shortcuts are greater than 4 then the shortcuts will be deleted by the Desktop Cleanup. Here is a workaround by changing the Task scheduler for a time you know for certain that you will be in the network or the user will have the USB device connected:.

I actually did a couple of things, reconfigured local group policies and also made a couple of registry changes. It appears that it took both fixes together to restore my icons.
To change local group policies, enter gpedit. You will see the local group policy window:. According to the information I found I changed all the settings to "Disabled.
