Desk top files

hi i have just recently updated windows 7 64 bit and i now have an issue with my desktop files when i opened them before the shortcuts stayed the same size i left them now when i close the file on my desktop they keep reverting to the smallest size when
re opened my eye site is getting worse every year and need bigger size     can any one help pls

Right-click the desktop, point to View, and then click Large icons,
Medium icons, or Small icons.
You can also use the scroll wheel on your mouse to resize desktop icons. On the desktop, press and hold Ctrl  while you scroll the wheel to make icons larger or smaller.
If your current user account still faces problems then you can create another user account with administrative privileges and recheck the issue.

  • Locked file on desk top

    Hi,
    I had a locked file in the trash and thought i'd drag it out to the desk top and delete the other stuff in there. Well it duplicated itself and I cant get rid of it (BBEdit html file)
    command i and unlock the little lock doesn't help.
    Used option empty to finally empty the trash. Help says I should try this little operation:
    1. Start in single-user mode; for instructions see Mac OS X: How to Start up in Single-User or Verbose Mode.
    2. Type this, followed by Return: mount -uw /
    3. Type this, followed by Return:
    cd /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    4. Type this, on a single line, followed by Return:
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/autodiskmount AutomountDisksWithoutUserLogin -bool true
    5. Type this, followed by Return: sh /etc/rc
    6. Wait for the on screen text to stop scrolling and then press Return
    7. Type this, followed by Return:
    find / -flags schg -exec chflags noschg {} \;
    8. Once this is finished, type this followed by Return:
    rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/autodiskmount.plist
    9. Type this followed by Return: reboot
    I find this to be a tad on the cute side. Beside needing to type that much with no errors, how do people remember it?
    Is there a place to store things so you can find them in single user mode?
    Thanks,
    Garrett

    drag the file to the desktop. Open the Terminal app. Type the following:
    sudo rm
    Make sure there's a space after the rm Then drag the file in question to the Terminal window. Hit Enter. Insert your admin password at the prompt and the file is gone.

  • HT1661 I have a mini mac osx lion, I have an external hard drive with my files from my pc that crashed. my mini mac is now running parallels desk top 7 and windows 8 consumers preview. can I simply plug in the extral hard drive to upload my files or ?

    how should I upload my pc saved files to my macmini with paralle desk top 7 running windows 8 consumer preview

    Worst... Win 8
    2nd worst Mountain Lion/10.8.x
    3rd worst Lion 10.7.x
    4th worst Windows ME.
    5th worst, geez, I'm not sure!
    As far as Windows goes, I think more things have gone backwards since XP, W7 improving on Vista, but...
    As far as OSX goes, more steps backwards than forwards since Tiger/10.4.11
    Even Linux is going backwards now... & it wasn't always that easy to start with, it's outdone it's usefullness trying to incorporate the worst features of Windows &
    OSX!
    I totally agree on the Backup thing, but which exact 3 TB are you thinking of, many are worthless & unreliable???
    And BTW, I think Time Machine is the worst backup solution ever invented, but if you have trouble using a TV Remote, it's better than a swift kick in the pants!

  • Every time I save a file it copies it to the desk top as well.

    Every time I save a file to either the internal drive or an external drive, it also saves it to my desk top...must be a preference somewhere to turn off but I can't find it.

    Nope, something is malfunctioning, but we can reset it all easily.
    Download the free OnyX and run ALL the initial checks, cleaning and maintenance aspects (except deleting the log files) and reboot at the end. (cancel in between reboots is fine).
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/
    Your machine will act a bit slow upon reboot until the caches and spotlight are rebuilt, but things should be straightened out.
    If you get any drive warnings, make sure you immediately backup your files off the computer to another drive as soon as possible, return for further instructions.

  • What do I do with the dll files I was told to put on my desk top when unistalling itunes due to R6034 problems?

    What do I do with dll files I was told to put on my desk top when uninstalling itunes due to a R6034 problems when installing a new update.

    Have you successfully reinstalled iTunes, wc180? If so, and if everything's working right now, it should be safe to delete those dll files on the desktop now.

    WHenWhen I export a pages document as an ePub file the result is a blank locked text edit file on my desk top not an ePub file as previously no problem creating. How do I fix? HHD

    Try adding .epub to the end of the name.
    I assume you are aware that to open an .epub file you need a special app, not TextEdit or Pages, right?

    Download and run the free application TinkerTool (not "TinkerTool System"), select the Finder tab, and uncheck the box labeled Show hidden and system files. Then click Relaunch Finder.

  • Each time I start up my MacBook Air a document appears on the desk top -calendarlogging.txt  I'm synching my calendar with iCloud.  Using Mavericks, but the same file was appearing using Lion.  Any thoughts.  Thanks

    Each time I start up my MacBook Air a text file appears on the desk top (calendarlogging,txt) the file/document contains lines of code.  I'm using iCloud to synch my calendar to multiple other devices - iMac, iPad and iPhone.  Using Maverick on both my iMac and my MacBook Air.  The file was also showing up on the desktop when I was using Lion.  Any thoughts?

    Hi everyone,
    To anyone who might read this, I ended up re-installing with the original install disc and was able to get back on to Mac, though I lost all of the previous data that I had not backed up. Unsure still if it will continue to let me access the HDD in this, but it kind of confirms that installing Lion probably put too much stress on the computer this last year.

  • Maintaining Portal Desk top URL aliases in web.xml file

    Hi All,
    I am planning to configure portal url alias i.e http://localhost:53000/irj/portal/finance
    should take me directly to finance portal desk top.
    1) Created a Desktop named finance_desktop
    2) Master rule has been set for URL Alias.
    3) I need to set URL alias name: finance in web.xml file
    4) path for the web.xml file is C:\usr\sap\SID\JCXX\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\web.xml
    5) Where exactly i have to change web.xml  file
    Infact i have seen a pdf "How to configure the J2ee engine deployment descriptor"
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Murali

    Hi
    indeed one small copy/paste mistake from me ... sorry for that...
    After you copyed the large chunk of code (as i discribe in step 1 and 2) you must rename:
    <param-name>portal</param-name>
    to
    <param-name>portal/finance</param-name>
    so then that part of the web.xml will look like this:
    <init-param>
    <param-name>portal</param-name>
    <param-value>
    anonymous=0,proxy=0,low_bandwidth=0,include_in_url=1,include_application_name_in_url=1
    </param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
    <param-name>portal/finance</param-name>
    <param-value>
    anonymous=0,proxy=0,low_bandwidth=0,include_in_url=1,include_application_name_in_url=1
    </param-value>
    </init-param>
    Good luck again...
    Cheers,

  • Can't open a file,just goes to a blank screen then back to desk top, how do I fix this?

    Can't open a file,just goes to a blank screen then back to desk top, how do I fix this?

    What system?
    What version of PageMaker?
    Can you open the PageMaker app ok?
    If so, what happens if you then use File > Open? (Not double click)

  • Pages won't open files on desk top

    I have a Pages document on desktop. It will not open and the following message appears. However I have the latest version of Pages, if I use ctrl click I can choose the application and work on the document, I can save and close the doc but still can't open it again fron desk top.
    Is this a problem unique to me or is it an Apple bug? If so is it being fixed?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Excel files from desk top to Palm Centro

    Hello all,
    Please be patient with me as I am NEW to this wonderful world of phone applictions... Last phone I had only had 3 numbers :0)
    I am trying to down load an excel file from my desk top (Windows xp home) to my palm centro... I registered the software on the phone (AT&T service and Dataviz) and am able to open the excel sheet on the phone...
    Please help???
    Thank you!
    Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

    if i may understood your problem correctly, you are trying to transfer excel files from your PC to your phone.
    1. open docs to go 10 in the PC via programs folder or icon in the desktop
    2. please check the username in the upperhand corner of the application
    3. if the username is correct, you will have your documents listed in the window
    4. those documents are from your phone
    5. if you want to add documents from your PC, just look the green (+) plus sign.
    6. click that plus sign because that will enable you to add documents from your PC, the minus sign is for removing files from the list that you can see.
