    Desktop Icon for Notepad file


    I have created a small file in Notepad and saved it on the desktop.

    The icon just shows a blank icon, rather than the proper icon image it used to show.

    Every other desktop icon shows properly. Please advise a fix for this.

    Win 10 Home.

    :)

    Creating desktop icon for Notepad txt file

    I used to have recent notepad files listed under "Most Used" in the Start menu. How can I restore desired files to the "Most Used" position, or how can I create a desktop icon for a specific Notepad txt file?

    Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.

    Desktop Icon for Notepad file

    Cannot find Desktop Icon in File Explorer


    My Desktop is showing icons as normal. But if I try to find what is on my desktop by using file manager, I cannot find the icon. I also checked under C;\user my name, public, default and no desktop listed on any of them. Any suggestions?
