files not seen on desktop?

[shahdad]

I cannot create new icons on destop? i cant move a file to desktop. i cant even view the files i have on destop.

all that is on desktop is, My computer, my documents, recycle bin, internet exploer, and monzila firefox

i had lots of other files on desktop but the only way to view them is to go to C:\Documents and Settings\Shahdad\Desktop

something is screwed with the registry, how do i fix it so it goes back to the way it was?

heres a hijack this log if it helps

Sounds like the path to your desktop has been changed. You can dig in the registry to find out where it's located at, or you could try saving a fake file to the desktop and then searching for it.

[shahdad]

problem solved

but one question

if you right click on desktop then go NEW then select say, TEXT DOCUMENT, it will creat a new text document on desktop

BUT DOES IT MAKE A SOUND???

when i create a file by right click methos>new>text document it makes a beep and places the file on desktop

is this normal?

[shahdad]

all right something is still wrong,

i cannot rename files placed on desktop, i cannot rename by clicking on it, rename under right click is not there, selecting item and pressing f2 does not work eiteher

why is this and what is the solution?

[InTheWayBoy]

It sounds like you don't have access to the desktop...like the location of the desktop has goofed NTFS permissions denying you the ability to add, rename, or delete files. If you can find the location of the desktop files, right-click and go to security to see what rights you have.

What did you determine the problem was two posts ago...you made it sounds like you fixed the problem. It may be related to what you have going on now.
