URGENT HELP: DESKTOP DISAPPEARS AFTER ICONPACKAGER

December 3, 2004 9:44:03 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Hi:
I need urgent help, I loaded IconPackager on WinXP SP2 machine, I used the TweakUI utility and set something wrong there, this killed Task bar, Later I deleted Tweak UI utility which brought the Task bar back but killed the Desktop now it is blank, I cannot see any Icons, When I startup Only the Task bar comes up. How do I fix this, I upgraded Win 2000 to WinXp + SP2.

Gratefully apprceiate your meaningful advice.'

Thanks,
AJ

My icons disappeared on me once, but it was a very simple fix, and worth checking...

Right-click on your desktop, go to 'View', and make sure 'Show Desktop Icons' is checked...

I laughed at myself when I finally figured out what happened...

In my case I could not right click, I used System Restore I am back to my original settings. I am using Windows Blinds 4.0 it doesn't seem to change the color settings on the Skin, Where it says Gamma settings, I want to change the color of the skin, but default skin color is set. I could do it previously before I had to install XP all over again.

Thanks for your prompt advice. Great stuff!
