    Lots of strange irritating little problems @ Icons-Permissions-Files


    Hello All
    I am new here and I am sorry to start off with a problem. Also, I hope this is the correct forum.

    Missing Icons, changing Icons and I can't fix by making a new shortcut and moving it to the proper folder, it becomes a useless empty square.
    About 50% of the time I can't delete or move a file. Not even shift-delete works.
    Even though I am the only "user" on my PC it tells me I do not have permissions to perform the above.
    It all started at the same time and I am going crazy trying to get a handle on it.

    Anyone, anyone at all got any ideas?

    I hope the system info I added on registration is easily available but I don't see a button for it. Oh, now I do.

    First check for infection with a full scan of updated Malwarebytes,
    from Safe Mode if necessary.

    Next run SFC -SCANNOW Command

    If necessary work through these additional troubleshooting steps to try to determine the problem.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Malwarebytes (and 3 others) has been run with no results. Ran SFC and no problems found. On to something else.........but what?

    Did a instal repair and it cleared up everything but my "permissions" problem. One at a time is painfully slow, but it works.
