Solved Desktop Problem

Windows Explorer is the graphical user interface that you see while you are browsing through your files. Shortcut to launch Windows Explorer is Win+E.

Thanks. Where is WIN on the keyboard?

The Win key appears like this: rb: minus the colour, on the bottom left of your keyboard.

Thanks. That is a lot easier than other ways to get there.

Was this ever completely resolved?

I told someone it was a home computer and I have been the only one to ever use it.

Okay I didn't explain how to get to my picture below. (post #30) That was my short sightedness. I shouldn't of took so much for grant it.

Lets see if I can correct my self.
Right click on the Start Orb (low left corner of desktop) and then select Open Windows Explorer and you should see this with out the arrow I put on it.

Dick if you get suggestions from other member and do not understand how to complete the suggestions just ask for a little more help. We will give as much instruction as needed. We do want to help.

We do not know the skill levels of every member or how much time they have spent learning Windows 7.
What ever level you are at we can and will help if you will work with us.

What were the results of this?

Explorer is where your files live.

Go rb:>Computer>C>User>your User name>Desktop to see if the file is there. If so it's somewhere on your desktop. If not back up to Users>Public Folder or Default to see if its there.

It may be that you have placed it in another User name account's Desktop. Check that also.

Please work back through the thread and reply to each step and you will have this resolved.

If a person seeks help and then throws stones at the people offering such help and said person will not listen to the help offered then there is no more left to do here.

There is also a C:\Users\Public\Desktop folder.
As far as I know, by default anything in here will be displayed on your desktop, and can affect it.
Maybe some programs put icons in the Public desktop during the install ?
I don't use desktop icons...so anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[derekimo]

For someone who wasn't even aware of what Explorer was, maybe extra patience is required.

Seems like some are taking things a little too personal...

LOL And if people talk in nebulous terms and refer to things that everyone may not understand, then . . .

Ok, now tell us how would you like to get helped further? Post your problem.

Lots of luck solving this really complicated issue. I hope that you can get the help that you need. Maybe try a kinder and gentler approach would help. It seems to help when asking for help. This Site offers more help than you ever will need in your lifetime. Try it. Have a nice day.

It became complicated because people used terms and talked about things I did not understand. I deal in real things, not nebulous terms. Here's an example of a guy in Oklahoma with a question about the OK state wide Public Safety radio system, a Motorola trunked system. I'll bet you wouldn't know what we were talking about unless someone explained it to you.

MY REPLY: You are seeing 48912 plus 3 status bits, used when two talkgroups are patched together.
There may be a setting in your scanner to turn Status Bits OFF so you will only see the basic talk group number.

 

[Britton30]

Curious, did you find the TEST folder when opening Explorer?

Yes.

This isn't a forum devoted to scanners and trunking. But if I did need help in that area, I would expect that in the nature of asking for help about something I do not know the answer, there may be what my confused mind might register as being 'nebulous terms' even though they are no less real items than something like for example, your missing TEST folder.
