Windows 10: Windows 10: Occasionally some Windows 7 icons appear on the Desktop then disappear. How can...

I am using windows 10 upgraded from windows 7. windows 10 had there own icons,but the windows 7 short cuts disappeared. Every so often windows 7 short cuts briefly appear and disappear quickly on the desktop. I would like these short cuts back. How would I do this.

Windows 10 desktop icons not in order

In ccleaner, did you uncheck cleaning the icon cache... have not used in a while; however, I think that is what the option is called.

Now, if you are setting the icons and they move after you have set the settings and not changed them... you may have the "Random Windows 10 Icon movement problem".
Some people have this and some don't.

Here is a thread on the problem at Windows10 forums: Windows 10: Folder View Settings and Desktop Icon Positions Not Saving

 

Windows 7 "God Mode" thoughts?

If you have windows 7 32 or 64 bit OS then this works for you.

Step 1. on your desktop create a new folder
Step 2. name it Example.{ed7ba470-8e54-465e-825c-99712043e01c}
Step 3. ???????????
Step 4. Press enter and PROFIT!!!

Where it says example you can name it anything you want, I just put example to use as one. The only thing that appears under the new icon is what you name it before the long text string. The folder will turn into a control panel icon. Its kind of like a super-control panel on steroids with lots of subtasks.

For reference if you have these OS it will work on it.

Windows 7 32 bit- WORKS
Windows 7 64 bit- WORKS
Windows Vista 32 bit- WORKS
Windows Vista 64 bit- DOES NOT WORK



Some dude on another forum posted this, is this legit or is going to destroy my PC?
