  1. Desktop Icons and Short Cuts Disappeared over night. How do i get them back?


    I am running windows 10 version 4


    When starting up this morning and going to my desktop overnight my short cuts and prints to desk top have disappeared. How do i get them back on the desktop. I cannot remember everything that was on there, but I do know my excel and word short cuts have disappeared along with some prints i have done to the desktop for easy reference.


    Can anyone help me get this information back please.

    :)

    Re create the Short Cut to them.

    Click on the Start Globe.

    When it opens you will see DOCUMENTS listed in its Right Hand Pane.

    Right Click on it and select : send to > Desktop ( create short cut ).

    You can do the same for the My Documents Folder.

    I suspect that one of the clean up tools has removed the shortcuts to them.
