Randall Posted April 16, 2012 Report Posted April 16, 2012 My ATX shortcuts on my desktop disaapeared. I don't know how it happened. I rebooted. I had the past 3 years on my desktop. Earlier years are on my computer but just listed in the directory. I still have the programs in my directory and was able to create shortcuts again on my desktop. So far, I haven't noticed anything else strange. Anyone else have this happen? Quote
Jack from Ohio Posted April 16, 2012 Report Posted April 16, 2012 It is a Windows thing. Your desktop organizer may be in automatic mode. Right Click on the desktop and realign the icons and the old ones may reappear. Quote
Lion EA Posted April 16, 2012 Report Posted April 16, 2012 It may have been an auto-archive thing. Check your settings. Quote
kcjenkins Posted April 18, 2012 Report Posted April 18, 2012 Sometimes the Windows settings are set to hide icons after they have not been used for a certain length of time. Could that be what happened? Clearly that would not be true of the current year program, but I'm not clear what years disappeared. Could just be gremlins, of course. This time of year the gremlins are especially bad. Quote
Lion EA Posted April 18, 2012 Report Posted April 18, 2012 Sometimes there's a folder for unused icons, maybe on your desktop. Quote
Randall Posted April 19, 2012 Author Report Posted April 19, 2012 Not sure. I think I did get some Windows updates come thru. So that might have done it. Quote
