I just wanted to add my experience in case it helps someone else. I basically tried everything that everyone else said on the internet. I rebooted my laptop. I logged out. I reinstalled things. Removed and installed them. Nothing worked.
Until I deleted a few files on in my desktop folder via the Gnome Files application. I am not really sure what the root cause was but you could try deleting one or all files in the desktop directory. Maybe don't delete them, just move them somewhere else. Hopefully it will magically resolve this issue for you.
this is the way budgie was circa 2017 (free floating drag and drop). somewhere along the line this fell out of favor and JS decided against this and even was not a fan of pinning and Budgie actually became desktop-iconless
In late 2020, I began work on Budgie Desktop View, which has the goal of providing some form of desktop icons implementation to effectively replace the view Nautilus had, just not at feature parity. This was basically so you could have some form of desktop icons, with a first-party solution, and Nautilus on Solus could finally be updated. Nautilus is a file manager, with a bunch of functions that are IMO out-of-scope for a desktop view. See -desktop-view#scope
All of the existing workflows I found relied on typing out commands to explicitly state if you wanted to show or hide the desktop icons. I think that's silly. Instead, this workflow first looks up whether the desktop is currently hidden, and then uses that data to do the opposite. No typing out explicit commands, just use the same keyboard shortcut to toggle the desktop on and off. Easy peasy.
We run the Desktop and my documents through folderredirection. We will NOT allow files to be used offline for HIPAA reasons. We still have some Windows 7 machines out and working on upgrading to Windows 10.
Recently with most of our machines, we have ran into an issue of the desktop icons disappearing while off of our network. They can get connected to VPN, right click on desktop and click refresh and the icons will reappear. However, we need to have these icons even without being connected to the VPN as well.
Are the desktop icons being redirected via group policy or not? They should work exactly the same as a redirected Documents folder. Offline files should be on as default unless you have a policy that is disabling that functionality.
I am not getting the logic behind this entire exercise. I have never seen the functionality you describe with folder redirection of the desktop unless offline files were enabled. If offline files are disabled icons are not available when a user is not on the LAN, this is by design. If they are redirected can you actually see a users desktop folder in the redirected location? Is it mirroring what the user is experiencing? Would be pretty east to test all of this with a VM od a desktop to see what is really going on.
What exactly are the icons for that they need access to? Local programs? File share locations? Other?
Unfortunately, offline files are all or nothing, not some icons or not. The Desktop settings are for the entire desktop. Shutting this down via disabling offline files when you have these online is exactly how it is supposed to work.
I would assume this would involve the process Progman because thats what contains the desktop icons. But no matter what i try... getting window handles and changing parents etc, i cant seem to get the window to appear behind the icons.
It's the SysListView32 that actually draws the desktop icons, so that's what you have to hook. And you can't just stick your form on top of it; you have to grab a WindowDC to that handle and draw on the DC.
It can be done - it has been done, but you're going to be using a lot of interop. Forget about doing this with a traditional Winforms Form. I don't think I've even seen it done in C#, although somebody did it in python, if that helps. I'm not a python coder myself, but the code is pretty short and easy to understand.
You also don't want to pass GetDesktopWindow() as your hwndParent. If you create a child window whose parent is GetDesktopWindow(), your window is now glued to the desktop window. If your window then calls something like MessageBox(), well that's a modal dialog, and then the rules above kick in and the desktop gets disabled and the machine is toast.
Hello, I have a brand new Spectre 360 notebook. I connected an external monitor to it and it loaded all my old apps from my old computer onto the new computer. I had all my icons on my desktop. Then I thought I'd increase the display size to make it a bit larger. In doing so, my desktop icons disappeared. I can only find one icon at the very top of the computer. I've been through all the suggestions the Virtual Assistant suggested, and nothing works. Can anyone offer any help? Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions, but I've already tried them and the desktop icons are still missing, although they are listed on my taskbar. I never had this problem with my old computer. The problem is on my new Spectre laptop. Apparently, other people are having the same issue. Not sure if this is a Windows 10 glitch or a Spectre problem.
Windows 10 has a reset feature that repairs your computer by reinstalling the operating system. This feature is recommended for recovery because it reinstalls Windows 10 while either preserving your personal data and customizations or removing all your personal data.
When I go to my desktop folder, everything is there but not showing up on actual desktop. I try dragging it onto it, and it doesn't do anything. I can't even click and drag to make that filled square. Help please!
Then download and run Etrecheck. Etrecheck is a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here in the ASC and recommended by Apple Support to provide a snapshot of the system and help identify the more obvious culprits that can adversely affect a Mac's performance.
I was trying to open a file this morning, and when a pop-menu asked what application I wanted to choose (from a list) to open it, I clicked on Adobe Reader - just as a guess. After that, just about all my desktop icons are Adobe icons, and when I click on them, the pop up menus says I can't access the file. These icons also show up on my menu of all my MS Office programs like Outlook, Word, Excel, etc.
First, thanks for responding. Unfortunately, I don't recall what I was trying to open. And yes, I think I've permanently associated nearly everything with the Adobe file extension. In another post, someone else with the same problem uninstalled the Adobe Reader, which I did, and that took care of my problem for now. He said that when he re-installed it, the problem came back. I haven't tried re-installing it, concerned that I'll have the same problem again. But I'll do that in the next few days to see how that works out.
In the meantime, though, if this problem is the same as the other, I'm not sure I've solved the problem. Can you instruct me on how to reset the file extension? Here's the post from this other person:
From the look of things ot looks like you have associated all .exe's with Adobe Reader and made it as the default association. Thats why any and all applications on your system are trying to open themselves with Adobe Reader.
Can you let me know your OS? This will help in narrowing down your problem, since there are separate steps to resolving the issue as per the OS installed. Also, did you restart your system after performing the mentioned steps?
my daughter was on the computer and opened java. it asked her what program she wanted to use to open and she clicked on adobe. it changed some of my icons to adobe reader icons and when they were clicked on they all opened only adobe reader. I went into safe mode and tried to do a system restore but even there it just opened adobe reader:( I was so frustrated...I eventually decided to just use my restore discs to restore the pc but I have a ton of pictures and wanted to save them first. while I was scrolling through my picture folder, I saw a video that i saved from my phone. I decided to watch it and when I clicked on it, it asked me what program settings I wanted to use. I clicked on "recommended" and the moment I did, all my icons in the sys tray went back to normal...IMMEDIATELY!! so happy this worked to out and I hope it will help someone else. as you can tell I am not computer savvy for repairs, that was my late husbands domain, but I am so glad this worked because I just wanted to throw the computer out the window LOL!
I bought a new laptop, because my old one was getting too slow. During setup I selected some option to sync activities between computers and to store my files in OneDrive. I'm not sure which option is the culprit here, but I'm guessing the latter.
Anyhow, when I logged in I had all my desktop icons from my old computer. The silly thing is that the apps that they open aren't even installed on this computer. Not yet anyway. So I have a desktop full of icons that don't work and I have two desktop icons for Microsoft Edge, even though I never use that browser.
Normally, I would just delete the duplicate icons, but since they are clearly synced from my old computer, I worry that they would get removed from there as well, and there they are actually useful. Perhaps it was silly of me to activate OneDrive. I don't really care about it, just thought it might be nice to have access to my files from any of the laptops.
