W7 Taskbar Icons

<< < (4/4)

Shane:
No the registry permissions where the only ones, file permissions maybe. Just in case it is a folder permissions problem. So go ahead and try that one as well.

Only answers I can find from MS on this is they say to just make a new user profile and move the data over. It has to do with a profile corruption. But they dont say anything else, which is really odd.

Hello Shane, following your last reply I ran both registry and file permissions in safe mode with network access with computer shutdown at the end of the session. Upon booting up the icons I had pulled out of the hide box onto the taskbar before the session stayed on the taskbar. I did two more shutdowns and booting up resulted in all ok. So much for MS suggesting a User Profile situation. Shane, You are a Godsend. Many thanks.

Shane:
Outstanding :-)

You ran the registry permissions already and it didnt do it, so looks like it was a file permissions problem. The folder where windows stores the icons and short cuts for those must of had its permissions messed up so it couldnt write to it. The repair fixed those permissions and got you going   :artist:

This is one of the reasons I tell people to run all the repairs in the program. And they ask me why when some of the repairs dont have to do with their problem. Your problem is a great example. A lot and I mean a lot of the time the cause of a problem isnt anything directly to do with the problem (Windows breaks easily because nothing runs by itself, everything relies on something else). You had no indication that it was a file permissions problem at all.

Need anything else you know where to come. :wink:

Shane, I have actually with my computer but all I will say for the moment is that on the first initial startup of the day it takes a number of starting up and then closing down again by the computer button, no separate reset on it, to get it to start. This averages out to a total of about an hour before it kicks in. The thing is that once it does fire up it will then boot up/restart without a glitch. This has been bugging me since the 17-10-2014 although at that time it was taking about 14 min to boot up. Please ignore this at the moment as I will recall it under a new heading. Thank you for all your help.

Shane:
Could be a hard drive getting bad, or you have a ton of programs that are in startup. Start a new thread and I can help you :-)
