or JUST icons?

758672 2009-03-23 20:42:00 You may need to rebuild the Icon Cache -- Its possibly damaged.

Click the start orb, type in CMD - in the results, Right click, Run as Administrator

Bring up the task manager - CTRL+SHIFT+ESC

Shutdown Explorer Process from the Task Manager

In the CMD window go to C:\Users\<ProfileName>\AppData\Local
Do the following command: attrib -H IconCache.db
Do the following command: del IconCache.db
Do the following command: start explorer

This should rebuild the Icon Cache

When opened the CMD window put in CD C:\Users\<ProfileName>\AppData\Local


Forgot the CD -- Opps:o

758675 2009-05-26 01:49:00 Thought you would all be fascinated to know that this problem has recurred.
This morning when I started up (not on wake up) all desktop icons were absent. Taskbar icons still present. Show desktop icons is ticked and when I untick it then tick it again the icons reappear.
Anyone?

758676 2009-05-26 01:59:00 Install SP2 when it comes out, it should be out 28/29th / this week Speedy Gonzales (78)
758677 2009-05-26 02:02:00 Thanks Speedy,
I have auto updates enabled so I guess I will get whether I want it or not.

758678 2009-05-26 02:09:00 Hopefully the Auto update is smaller than the full update package - Which is 476.20MB (www.imagef1.net.nz) - Should be. wainuitech (129)
758679 2009-05-26 02:15:00 Hate to see what the 64 bit update is then if thats 476 mb Speedy Gonzales (78)
758680 2009-05-26 03:25:00 DONT LOOK Speedy (www.imagef1.net.nz) -- Seems it may be both - Auto updates should be a LOT smaller - one would hope so any way. wainuitech (129)
