I'll test out my stuff now? unless you want me to do something else first?

 

See if that took care of the problem, I have one at my office that has this SAME problem.

 

No good, if you can think of anything else I'll try nearly anything.

 

I am having this same problem with a computer at work, I have tried everything I know of and cant come up with anything. I am testing registry values and some others things. I will come up with anything I will let you know ASAP.

Also, if you come up with anything let me know.

 

Lets give this a shot, let me know if this works for you.

Copy the contents of the Quote Box below to Notepad. Then click File and then Save As. Change the Save as Type to All Files. Name the file desktopfix.reg and then click save. (make sure you save it somewhere you can find it. Saving it to your Desktop may make that easy.)

Double-click on the desktopfix.reg file on your desktop (or locate it with Windows Explorer and double click on it if not saved to the Desktop) and when it prompts to merge, click YES!

 

Ok I did that part, what should I do now...restart? or try and install the game now?

 

I dont think its going to work because its been tested twice, we are trying to come up with something. Hang in there!

 

will do, I've done too much to this machine to give up now.

 

Same here, I have 2 at my office that has this and 2 more users here who have this. Its something in the registry, I do know this much and its related to C:\Desktop. I have been researching this new baddie and havnt came up with anything yet. Will let you know as soon as something comes up. Thank you for your patience

 

I have figured it out!

Click Start > Run > type in regedit

Navigate to and modify the registry entries below:

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Select "Desktop" and change the value to %USERPROFILE%\Desktop



HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Select "Desktop" and change the value to %USERPROFILE%\Desktop



HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Select "Desktop" and change the value to %USERPROFILE%\Desktop



HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Select "Desktop" and change the value to %USERPROFILE%\Desktop



HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Select "Desktop" and change the value to %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop



HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

Select "Common Desktop" and change the value to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop




HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

Select "Desktop" and change the value to %USERPROFILE%\Desktop



HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

Select "Desktop" and change the value to C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Desktop



HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

Select "Desktop" and change the value to C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Desktop



Now, with the viewing of hidden files & folders enabled per the tutorial go into C:\ and delete the folder C:\DESKTOP. Reboot and problem should be resolved!

 

When I try to delete C:\DESKTOP I get an error saying
"Desktop is a Windows System folder and is required for Windows to run properly. It Cannot be deleted"

 

You must delete ALL the registry entries first. Then after the LAST one is deleted then you reboot and delete it.

 

When I try to delete C:\DESKTOP I get an error saying
"Desktop is a Windows System folder and is required for Windows to run properly. It Cannot be deleted"

Also under HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

shouldn't that value be changed too? I have it as C:\Desktop right now

 

Yes! that should be set to:

C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Desktop

Remove ALL of the keys, reboot and then delete the folder.

 

Did what you said but I still can't delete that folder. However I was assuming that by "remove" you meant "modify" those registries that could be why.

 

All your supposed to do is edit them and change the values.

Try this:

Download the attached file to a folder where you can locate it. And then extract the fixdesktop.reg file from the ZIP file. Double click on the fixdesktop.reg file and when prompted to add the changes into registry say yes.


Edit by chaslang: To change to my more recent version of fixdesktop.zip

 

I should restart after doing this?

 

After editing the keys I requested OR downloading the fix. Reboot and delete C:\DESKTOP

 

It worked!!!...All of my desktop icons are back from the dead. I still have to see if I can work my games though.

 

The games wasnt the problem we was after, the desktop problem is what we was after!!!!!!!!

We Won Chas!

Was it the .zip file that did it for you?

 

Oh...yeah it was the .zip file.

Well about the games, you got anything for that?

 

I would really appreciate if you could find something out about why my games don't run, I am starting to go through withdrawls.

 

nvm problem solved

 

Glad you got it fixed!
