Hi,

please do as follows:

Right click anywhere on screen, select "Personalization"

Select "change desktop icons"

Tick icons you want to be shown on your desktop.

I hope this information helps.

right click on the icon that you start Windows Live Messenger and drag it to the desktop. Release it and it will say what do you want to do. Then choose Create Shortcut here. That will put icon on your desktop.
If that doesn't work, what Operating System are you using?

THis is happening when the program that patronize the shortcut is no longer existent in the system ...or the location was changed ...Just delete all short cuts that does that ...and make new ones from the start /all programs ..or for programs installed in a different director (folder) and not in C/program files.. just go to the installation location and make a new short cut..
If my computer and my documents ...and the other original windows desktop icons make the same ...just delete them ..than ..right click on desktop ...choose properties..than desktop ...here you will find customize desktop ...and in there just tick all cases for icons you want on desktop ...This action will place again the original icons on desktop ..For the rest just make new shortcuts from the original execution of the program ...

Try to uninstall and reinstall the display drivers. For the desktop icons, right click desktop->Arrange icons by->show desktop icons.

YOUR " SHIFT KEY " IS JUST STUCK !

Green light is on mine, but USB port shows no device. When I plug it in, I get "found new device" message, but no icon on my desktop. None of my messengers recognize it either. It does show up in cameras and scanners though...I'm so confused.
