Lost Java DeskTop Icon

hello
I am new to Java programming. I have downloaded and installed free Java version JDK 6 SE on my computer. After the download and install was complete I received a message saying that the download was successful. Then clicking on the newly created desktop icon which then prompted me to reinstall once again. But I managed to get this issue resolved.
But I no longer have an icon situatated on desktop for me double click on to launch this program. I am using windows 7 64 bit computer. Should there be a desktop icon set up on the computer or perhaps not?
What can I do to get this program to open up for me in the hopes of setting up a short cut to desktop?

What do you mean by "launch this program"? The JDK is not a program (at least not in the usual sense). Think of it as a library that other programs (including those you write) can use.

  • Please Help! Lost all Desktop Icons, Finder won't open & Cant shut off iMac

    Hi Mac Users,
    I need some serious help please and thank you --- my iMac with Mac OS X 10.5.6 has lost all its desktop icons, I can't open my finder (i've tried relaunching and rebooting my computer, which won't even do a hard shut off).  I can open apps on my dock and that is about it. 
    I did read in another discussion to delete the preference file, but I can't get access to the library?!?  And I also read to try doing a disk repair from the install disk and when I insert the disk into my iMac I don't get a pop-up window asking what i'd like to do and since the finder does not open I have to way to even start the disk up to attempt to do a disk repair???? 
    Any suggestions/recommendations are greatly appreciated.
    Sincerly,
    desperate iMac kt1611

    When you tried to do a disk repair from the instal disk, did you actually boot from the instal disk?  You should.
    Have you read the manual that came with your iMac and followed the appropriate steps?

  • Lost my desktop icons!

    I have an Equium A60 laptop and have lost all the icons on my desktop. I can find them by going via Start, Programs. Any ideas on how to retrieve my desktop?

    Hi
    Your issue sounds very strange and I cant believe that the icons are hidden without any action.
    I think you have disabled the option show desktop icons accidentally.
    Anyway please make a right click on the desktop and chose Arrange Icons by
    (I think its a fist option on the top of this menu) Then you should see the option called show desktop icons. Please enable it.
    After this procedure all icons should appear again.

  • Lost the Desktop icon

    I've done something really stupid: I thought I could backup my Desktop by dragging the icon from the sidebar of the finder window into Toast. On the way it vanished like a little cloud popping and ended up in the Trash. I could not drag it back. I could not not open any desktop folders as the were "in the Trash" I could noy drag them back to the Desktop. I managed to drag the folders from Trash to a new Desktop folder and burned this with Toast so I have the content of my Desktop folders and can open them but not drag any folder from the backup disk to the Desktop "because "Desktop" cannot be modified" To probably make matters worse i have now emptied the Trash. There is a folder called Desktop in the Finder sidebar but "The alias "Desktop" could not be opened because the original item cannot be found."
    I know I have done a Bad Thing. Can the damage be reversed please?

    It is solved! Thank you to all who responded. The answer lies in the robustness of OSX I think. I was preparing to reinstall OSX and having backed up and shut down, on restarting there was the Desktop Icon back in place working properly. I have rebuilt it the way I like it with all my rescued "stuff" and I will endeavour to be more sensible next time. I think I was very lucky......Makes me wonder if this thing really is bullet proof! In answer to Ali Brown's question - no, I didn't trash the Home folder, but whatever I did put the whole contents of the desktop and the Desktop icon itself into the trash. I was able to retrieve all my desktop folders, but not the Desktop Icon. The only icon on the desktop that remained was MacHD.
    Interestingly this weird operation has resolved a long-time annoyance: two corrupted, locked, with impossible dates, files on the Desktop had been undeletable for neary two years. They have now GONE! I now know how to dump undeletable files if it happens again...

  • Lost quicktime desktop icon

    I updated i-tunes to 7.5.5 version. When computer was done updating my i-tunes icon disappeared and reappeared again as it always does with an update. My quicktime icon disappeared too but never reappeared. I had many problems with quicktime on my old computer. I am trying to keep it all clean and working on my new laptop. Is there a way to get my icon back? Is this a sign that my quicktime is going to begin having problems again? Someone please advise! My i-tunes seems to be working fine at the moment.

    The Desktop icon is merely a shortcut and most modern installers have a simple check box to allow one be made (or not).
    Don't worry about it or make one.

  • I simply lost my desktop icon

    How can I restore this and avoid having to click on a My Music file to launch iTunes?

    head into your program files to the itunes folder. (on belladonna, that's in C:\Program files\itunes\)
    right-click your iTunes.exe icon and select "Create Shortcut". rename the shortcut as you please, and drag it to your desktop.

    Did you ever figure this one out?
    I have seen two external Seagate drives (FW, 500GB) stop mounting after about one use on a mac. Neither of them would show up under windows XP or 2000 afterwards.
    I reformatted one, and am wondering if I'll need to do the same thing to the other.
    Thanks for any info!

  • Lost Desktop Icon

    After doing the latest update, my I-Tunes desktop icon doesn't work anymore. I can't figure out how to get to my I-Tunes page where I can add new CD's to my I-Pod.  I go to Itunes.com but there's no place for a login or anything.  I'm completely lost - hope someone can shed some light on this!
    Thanks for any help!  I'm putting my e-mail address here just in case I can't figure out how to work this support community and find replies to my question!

  • I have lost my itunes icon from my desktop. I have recently downloaded windows 9 and thought maybe this had something to do with it. Can anyone help me get it back?

    I've lost my itunes icon from my desktop and can't see it anywhere else. I have recently upgraded to windows 9 and thought maybe this had something to do with it. Can anyone help please?

    Has iTunes been uninstalled or removed from you system?
    Is it no longer in the Start Menu or in Control Panel?
    What exactly was downloaded and installed?  There is no Windows 9, so it's not possible that it is installed on your computer.

    When you hear the chime immediately hold these four keys down: command, option, p and r. All four keys together - you may need to use both hands. Keep holding the keys down and let the Mac chime two more times. Release the keys.

  • Need Help with Java Desktop CP Icon

    I just formatted and reinstalled Windows XP Home SP2 and installed the JRE 1.5.0.02. I usually see an icon in my Control Panel but it only appears in the Administrator's CP which I can reach in Safe Mode of course, but it would be easier to deal with if it appeared somewhere on my desktop/taskbar or CP (I am also an Admin). In Safe Mode I made sure that the right settings were made for displaying, but it doesn't.
    I know precious little about Java so I need help here.

  • Lost the Lync desktop icon Lync 2013

    I recently lost the Lync icon on my desktop and taskbar.  It was replaced by the generic icon.  I refreshed the icon cache but to no avail.  Does anyone happen to know how I can get my icon back?

    Navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15 and find the Lync.exe program.  Right click and choose Unpin from Taskbar and Unpin from Start. Right click again and choose Pin to Taskbar and if you want, Pin to Start. Delete the icon on
    your desktop and right click/drag Lync.exe to your desktop to create a new shortcut.

  • How can I run a Java-Application with a Desktop-Icon ?

    Hello,
    I have got a problem: I want my Java-application directly by clicking on a desktop icon. Is there anybody who can tell me how to do so ? (I don't want to change my application into an exe File !!!).
    It would be nice if you could give me a detailed explanation (or a link to thus) because I'm not used to the Windows-Classpath System (...as far as I need this...I don't know).
