Firefox Icon Disappears

Now if it disappears again, make sure the cleanup wizard isn't enabled. That cleans "unused" icons off the desktop. The problem is, it sometimes guesses an icon is unused when it isn't.

What OS are you running? If 7, please sate if it is Home Premium, Pro, or Ultimate.

 

Okay, I'll need to do some searching. Disabling this is done through the Group Policy editor but Home Premium doesn't include that which makes it harder.

I want to find something that isn't overly complicated.

 

I found something but it means editing the registry so before we tackle that: see if the icon disappears again.

If it does, you are going to go on a recon mission.
1. Click on Control Panel
2. Click on Administrative Tools
3. Click on Task Scheduler
4. Down where is says Task Status, the default is 24 hours. Click the down arrow and change this to 7 days.
5. Wait until it populates or perhaps remains blank if there were no scheduled tasks.

If it is blank then something else is going on.
If there are items in there under Task Name, please post what it says in the Name column only.
