No...he doesn't mean reformating...

the program is suppossed to get rid of files that are no longer being used...(ie temp files, checkdisk files...etc etc)

did you try restarting your pc to see if the icons came back? cause i don't see how deleting any of those files really messed up your comp like that...

only unless there's some option in the program that is selected by default that deletes things it shouldn't...

Shadowlord · 2004-07-26, 22:02

if you havent used the icons on your desktop for a while, it probably got rid of them, since you haven't been using them.

Yamano667 · 2004-07-27, 00:53

my advice is NEVER USE PROGRAMS TO CLEAN YOU COMPUTER

do it manually

PimpinAintEZ · 2004-07-27, 01:18

well i tried and turned it off..but none of it came back..i tried restoring..but all the restore dates were deleted also...and the icons on my desktop..i used it often because only ones were my computer,,files for anime, music, kazaa, bittorrent server, and coupple of microsoft word files for hw...

Well Try remaking those shortcuts. If you cant access my computer.

go to start. Run then type this in. "C:" It'll open up a window and just go through program files and find the folders of the programs you want to have a shortcut to your desktop. Btw double click on the ones with a graphic to make sure they open up the program and just make a shortcut to the desktop.

PimpinAintEZ · 2004-07-30, 22:21

can u re make the shortcuts into the start menu? i kno u can do it on to the desktop but can u make a shortcut into the startmenu so it looks normal again>?

Superchop · 2004-07-30, 22:53

Yes

(I have win98 so things "might" be a bit different)

Go into "Windows" and there should be a folder called "Start Menu" and from there you can add the short cuts you want...and if you open up the "Programs" folder...that's where the majority of everything is...so just copy away

I hope that works for you

nooc · 2004-07-30, 23:06

You can just drag stuff into the start menu. Atleast in xp.

xargon · 2004-07-31, 01:33

You can do that in win98 also...but i find that more of a hassle...cause then you have to drag the icon to the start menu...then drag it along into the programs section...then drag it again to where you want to put it...and it's all fine if it's only a couple things...but for a lot of icons that you want copied it's easier to just open up the folder under windows

hm?? registry? then can i unrest it?

Kurz · 2004-08-01, 01:04

Nope Registry is a little touchy if you know what i mean. If you are not computer savy dont go through it.

ShadowX114 · 2004-08-01, 02:37

To get your icons on desktop (at least My Computer), try to right click on ur desktop, then choose Properties. Then go to "Desktop" tab, and click on "Customize desktop". Check on My Computer and the other 3 cases and click OK. I'm using XP so im not sure if its exactly the same with the other OS.

This should bring back My Computer, My Documents, IE and my network places. As you have the My Computer icon, I guess u can check if ur files got deleted or not.

PimpinAintEZ · 2004-08-01, 22:52

i kno my files aren't deleted...
