Desktop icons not showing up for T60's and T61's

We are having an issue with nearly half (we have a few hundred at out company) of our T60’s and T61’s where they do not show the desktop icons at boot up. If they start the task manager and run explorer then everything pops up like normal. But they will have to repeat this process every time they boot up. We also tried having them turn off the wireless radio via the slider switch but that did not help.
One fix we found was to go C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data and copy the IconCache.db found there over the users IconCache. This fixes the issue for 99% of the people who have this problem, but there are a few that continue to boot up to no desktop items.
The only other fix we have found was to put explorer.exe in the start up folder. This brings up a pop up of their My Documents at start up that they have to close but is much easier than going through the task manager to run explorer.
We also have many T43’s and many Lenovo desktops from M-81, M-82, and M-88’s. none of the desktops show this problem and we have not had this issue with any of the 43’s.
The software packages are essentially the same for all of our systems. The only difference being is that the desktops do not have VPN.
Windows XP sp2
MS Office 2003 standard
IE 6
Adobe Reader 8.1
Lotus Notes 8.1
Sametime 8.0
Cisco VPN 4.6
RealVNC 4
Symantec Antivirus 10.1.5
We run all MS updates and keep the laptops fully patched with Lenovo updates, the only updates we do not use is the ThinkVantage access connections. We install all other system updates in the critical and recommended section.
Some basic hard ware specs of the systems involved:

Good news: I found a solution. Kind of bad news: it's an extremely awkward behaviour –*but at least it works.
Start iTunes, remove all your voice memos from your library (back them up if you need them), quit iTunes. Restart Finder. Done. I hope that helps!

Why is my image icon not showing up for subscribers?

I'm using podbean which produces the itunes feed and auto-submits it. You can see the icon when you visit the itunes page on the web - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bloggersareweird/id589296259 but when you actually subscribe via iTunes the icon does not show up either on desktop/laptop iTunes or iPad/iPhone.
Can someone take a look at my feed and see what I did wrong? My image dimenstions are 1400x1400 which is the recommended size, I believe.
Here's the feed.
http://bloggersareweird.podbean.com/feed/
Thanks for your help!
D.J.

Though the image which appears in the iTunes Store is referenced in the feed (as you have done) the image which appears in some podcasts when subscribing is not. It has to be actually embedded in the media file, and can be different for each episode if desired.
A method for doing this is described in this page:

Assign to desktop option not showing up for a few programs

Hi! Well Assign to desktop is a great feature. The problem I am having is that it does not show up under options for several programs. It does show up with others. Two of the programs it is not showing up with are Lightroom 4 and SpeedGrade from Adobe's CS6 cloud. It does work with Photoshop and Premier and After Effects from the same suite. Anyone have any ideas why? Thanks.

Perhaps, you should try to reset your preference file to see if it corrects itself. I have posted the instructions at this link:

Mobile Numbers not showing up for group messages and sending pics

When I want to send a picture from my albums, the cell phone numbers for my contacts are not an option....any idea why? When I go to my messages and then choose the photo it is okay. All users I am sending to are iphone users.

Sparkyjames81,
Lets figure out just where those texts are going! There are many apps that can be downloaded from the Play Store for Android phones that will allow messages to be sent over the internet, and therefore they are not actually text messages and will not show up in our records. Even Facebook has their own messaging app available that does this.
If you have an iPhone, they come with a service called iMessage that allows for messages to other Apple devices be sent via the internet, and this will also not show up on our records. These are all ways to bypass our actual texting services, and since these messages are not being sent as texts they do not show up on our records.

Lync 2013 and Office 365 - Desktop Client not showing contact pictures but online and mobile does.

Hello
I have gone so far of opening a support call with Microsoft but they don't know how to fix the problem also so I was wondering if anybody has a fix for me.
We have only about 25 users using Office 365 Mid Size Business - We don't have the AD Intergrated yet - that will be at a later date. So I am not doing any of this thumb photos in AD which I have read about.
So about 15-16 of the machines work fine, We have the Desktop Office 2013 installed , and in Lync everybody can see everybody's contact photo.
We have the rest which works perfect apart from showing the contact photo's - All settings are the same - When these users use the Online Web Lync or iPAD Lync, all photos are displayed....it is just on the desktop.
Like I said Microsoft spent an hour on a workstation and don't know what the fix is - we did all the deletion of the SIP Dir in the c:\users\username\appdata\microsoft\office\15.0\lync - For me , I don't see this as a game changer since all aspects of Lync
work for IM, Conference, Presentation - however I am guessing some of my users want to stare at pictures all day :-)
I would like to know am I the only person getting this?

Forward and reply icons not showing since upgrade to lion and cloud account

The forward and reply icons (the arrows) are now usually not appearing after an email has been forwarded or replied to by me. This all began after upgrade to Lion (no problem in snow leopard). Anyone know a fix? Spoke with apple on the phone, but they could not resolve the issue. Thanks

Assuming you are using Safari for iCloud.com....
Go to ~ / Library / Caches / com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash and restart your Mac.

Time machine icon does not rotate and back up icon on desktop does not show during backup session.

Time machine icon does not rotate and back up icon on desktop does not show during backup session since I installed Maverick. Why? How do I fix it?

That's the new look of it. No way to change it other than file a complaint with Apple. If ENOUGH people do thst they may "fix it".

Why are my desktop files not showing on the desktop

Why are the files in my desktop folder not showing on my desktop?

An add-on can put its icon on the bar automatically if it likes, but some add-ons do one of the following:
* Add an item to the Tools menu
* Add an item to the right-click menu (depending on the context)
* Put a button in the button palette so you can add it to a toolbar if you like (''to call up the button palette, use'' View > Toolbars > Customize ''or right-click a blank area after the address box on the Navigation Toolbar and choose Customize from the pop-up menu'')
Also, you might want to double-check that the add-on is enabled.
Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
If you have the orange Firefox button, it's Firefox > Add-ons > Extensions
Does that help? (If you have problems with a particular extension, you could mention which one it is for more specific comments.)

Ringtone not showing up for songs I bought on iTunes

Ok, so I get that I can only create ringtones for songs bought through the iTunes store. Most of my songs are non-iTunes, but there are some that I had previously bought and want to turn into ringtones. However, after I turned the ringtone view option on, the icon only showed up for 9 out of the (according to my account purchase history) 50 songs I bought on iTunes. Has this happened to anyone else? What gives?

Please read through the forum before posting --
But all songs are NOT available for ringtone use - only those whose recording representatives chose to enable as ringtones. It's not up to apple, it's up to the label and their artists.

Packaging icon not showing up

All I have this in our ANT file
<fx:info id="inforef" title="${application.title}" vendor="${application.vendor.name}" >
<fx:icon href="${src.dir}/main/resources/icon_files/application.ico" />
<fx:splash href="http://www.celer-tech.com/images/logo_with_shadow.png"/>
</fx:info>
but when the installer is created the default java icon is show on the executable. And the installer screens all have the Java icon. How do I fix this?
And will you be able to put information in the installer screens like text?

I got a custom icon to display in a bundled app :-)
Not sure of the exact set of magic incantations I performed to make it happen, but it was something like this:
1. the <fx:icon href="location"/> seemed to be unused with respect to bundling (maybe it is used in webstart packaging or something - or maybe it is planned to be used in bundling in the future and is just not implemented - or maybe I couldn't work out the right way to specify the location).
2. the app seems to look for an icon in the location Gerhard points out => package/windows/XXX.ico
3. the build.xml file for Ensemble (2.2b17 example) has a note in it: note that for native package customizations to work: jfx-impl.xml have to include "." on classpath when it loads javafx ant tasks (search for taskdef). NOTE: if NB converted project file to the newer format then you may need to correct taskdef in the nbproject/jfx-impl.xml - simply add ".:" in front of classpath value
4. I was using a NetBeans 7.2 preview and it did convert the file so I added the .: to the path in jfx-impl.xml as the note in Ensemble said.
5. Ensemble sample had a file in package/windows/ensemble2.ico
6. However, when I ran the build fx:deploy task with an verbose="true" attributed, it reported that it was looking for package/windows/ensemble.ico
7. No idea how the build knew that the name of the icon should be ensemble.ico.
8. So I renamed package/windows/ensemble2.ico to package/windows/ensemble.ico
9. Then I reran the ant task and it packaged the ensemble app with a little toaster icon for the install exe rather than the default icon.
10. It wasn't perfect as there is another icon displayed on the installer window which was still a default app icon, but perhaps you also need to set the [setup dialog icon] (add package/windows/XXX-setup-icon.bmp to the class path to customize) Gerhard also pointed out (didn't try that).
11. I'm going to guess that the last file which Gerhard points out (the .iss one) is an InnoSetup script as documented in the Inno Setup Help http://www.jrsoftware.org/ishelp/ and is the thing which allows you to change dialog wordings, text and languages - customizing the setup installer as you see fit (but that is just a guess at this stage - haven't done enough investigation to confirm).

Certain Icons not showing, tried "Show All" to no avail

Hey experts,
I have an odd problem that I'm stumped by. I have a number of icons/programs on my Torch that are not showing up for some reason. Now of course I've tried selecting "Show All" from the BlackBerry menu, yet none of the missing programs show up.
It first started a few months ago, where my Twitter app stopped showing up (even though in BlackBerry App World it showed as installed, yet was no where to be found). I managed a work-around, by using UberSocial, so I didn't bother looking into it. Then I tried downloading Hoot Suite, with again the same problem; App World said it was installed, but the actual program was no where. Now I just had a third program do the same thing, but this one's more important. The actual app for BlackBerry App World is now not showing up; so not only can't I use its barcode reader, but I obviously can't download any programs, or update any.
It's extremely frustrating, does anyone know what might be going on?

Hi GottaBeKD182,
Welcome to the Support Community!
This KB article should help you out with the missing BlackBerry App World™ storefront icon. "BlackBerry App World icon is missing after upgrading to BlackBerry App World 4.0.0.63 to 4.0.0.65" http://bbry.lv/SPblgT
Regarding the other icons that aren't displaying, are these applications listed as installed in Options > Device > Application Management? Was a reboot done after these applications were installed?
Thanks.

It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
So what to do, what to do.
Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
So what you will have to do is this:
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.
