Little bit touchy are we not?? Quote from you "longwinded and complicated ways" sounded to me like you disapproved of the way these problems were handled. I believe though that the problems were solved by the removal of the trash.
If you care to read all my posts here you will find that I am not given to personal attacks or judgements, if you feel I have done that I apologise, as it was not my intention. If I had put the angry icon there, fair enough.
You say I am biased against IE. Why? Because I simply state a fact?
The original posters problem was in fact the icons disappearing for a short time, not altogether, as you would know seeing how you read the post.
What's this about "forum seniority"? you have lost me there. Or "manhood" for that matter. You assume that I am male??

P.S. You don't want to post a log do you? :twisted: :mrgreen:


I think you were touchy about my post to begin with, hence my reply. I have no desire to read your previous posts to dissect your character, and I don't care if you're male or female. However, I have no intention to fight with you or attack you, so I'll let this one go and hold nothing against you.

Why would I need to post a log? I appreciate people helping others, but I already solved my problem.. sure the log might reveal a couple of other problems and I actually know enough to fix them myself, you'll need to wait for desperate soul who will undoubtedly post their LOG for you to dissect ;-)

Ok folks-

, and end it now- civility is key here. Let's stick to our job of solving problems and put the egos aside please.

If the personal attacks and jousting continue, this thread will be closed.

Andrew21,

I've split your previous posts (and any responses to your posts) into their own separate thread. The thread is located here:

http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread6013.html

Please read the Private Message I sent you concerning my reason for doing so, and please follow up on your troubleshoot in the thread I gave above as opposed to continuing to post in this thread. The problem posted by the originator of this thread has been solved, so this thread is essentially closed; any new questions by other members, however related they might seem to issues in this thread, should be placed in their own thread.

Thanks,

DMR

I am having a similar problem. Desktop shortcuts will not load. Programs will not load from the start menu. Can only run programs from keyboard shortcuts or run in safe mode. O/S is Windows 2K.

Um, rustanger-

Could you please tell me what part of my post (directly above yours) you did not understand?:"The problem posted by the originator of this thread has been solved, so this thread is essentially closed; any new questions by other members, however related they might seem to issues in this thread, should be placed in their own thread."

Please help us keep things manageable by posting your question in its own separate thread.

Hi Folks,

Hope you don't mind me jumping in here too. I don't have any problems with desktop icons or installed programs not working, but I am not able to consistently use Internet Explorer. I say consistently because the problem is intermittent.



The post above yours applies to everyone. Am moving yours out to it's own thread.

I'm having the same problem- hopefully someone can help me. I ran ad-aware and found a bunch of crap so far, but it didn't solve the problem. Here's my hi-jack this log. The only other thing I can think of that caused this was the deletion of a couple of .dll's during a program removal. Could this cause the same problem, and if so, what fixes it?
Thanks so much!
Tim

Hi tggoodrich,

First of all- welcome to TechTalk!

We ask that members not tag their questions on to a thread previously started by another member (regardless of how similar your problem might seem). Not only does it divert the focus of the thread away from the original poster's problem, but it also makes it less likely that you yourself will get the individual attention that you need.

Please start your own thread and post your question there. When you do, please try to give us as much specific info as possible regarding the problem (exact error messages, system specs, etc.).

For a full description of our posting guidelines and general rules of conduct, please see this page:

http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforu...b_faq#faq_rules


Thanks for understanding.

Hi tggoodrich,

First of all- welcome to TechTalk!

We ask that members not tag their questions on to a thread previously started by another member (regardless of how similar your problem might seem). Not only does it divert the focus of the thread away from the original poster's problem, but it also makes it less likely that you yourself will get the individual attention that you need.

Please start your own thread and post your question there. When you do, please try to give us as much specific info as possible regarding the problem (exact error messages, system specs, etc.).

For a full description of our posting guidelines and general rules of conduct, please see this page:

http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforu...b_faq#faq_rules


Thanks for understanding.


Sorry, I found this thread in a google search and didn't see your previous post. This rule is different compared to the other forums I'm on.
Anyway, starting my own thread...

Thanks for understanding tggoodrich.

I know that a lot of forums have no guidelines concerning "piggybacking" onto another thread, but many do; it reduces the chaos and makes it easier to methodically work through each individual's problem. :)

Nothing is lost. Nescape/Mozilla can import favorites from Internet Explorer, and Microsoft provides favtool.exe , which works both ways.

But these are only temporary solutions. Your long-term problem is a hijacker, Trojan, or Virus that's wedged its way into your desktop. This can happen because Internet Explorer is an integrated part of Windows. I can almost guarantee that you have Active Desktop turned on, and a hijacker running.

You are going to have to download and run HijackThis . Note: read the instructions on the linked page very carefully (the main download link is broken -- use one of the mirrors). Do not actually remove anything from your startup or Registry until you have posted the log that it generates and are given explicit instructions on what to remove. You should also read my article on this subject (in my signature below) followed by this article--that I was planning to write, but Grinler beat me to it :cheesy:.




Help!!! Pls kindly assist. Below is my log file which I managed to capture finally. Cant even used hijack/spybot to fix/install to my pc cos the 'worm' may have concealed the installer filename(eg.hijack & spybot). The 2 applications close promptly after few seconds even though after I rename those installer filenames. Had scanned and cleaned with latest Ad-aware definitions but in vain.

You are not without recourse. Try runningHijackThis in Safe Mode and see if that gives you enough time to delete the offending startups. There are also alternative tools available to kill the offending processes, including CodeStuff Starter and PrcView . Either of them should work; Starter has a "nicer" interface and can also be used to delete stuff from the startup list, like HijackThis or MSConfig.

Kill the following process and delete the file: C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Desktop\AAAA.exe

Get rid of the following (use HijackThis to check these off and "fix checked"):

Have Hijackthis fix these as well:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Network Service] C:\WINDOWS\svhost.exe -sr -0
O16 - DPF: {10000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} - http://213.159.118.226/x/x.exe

Once done, delete the C:\WINDOWS\svhost.exe file.


Also- FlashGet is Adware; you should remove it. Have HJT fix all entries related to Flashget and delete any FlashGet folders/files that you find on your system.

Hi mnh00002- welcome to DaniWeb. :)

One of our guidelines for posting in these forums is that members not tag their questions on to a thread previously started by another member (regardless of how similar your problem might seem). Not only does it divert the focus of the thread away from the original poster's problem, but it also makes it less likely that you yourself will get the individual attention that you need.

Given that, I've split your post into its own thread, which you can find here:
