A few weeks ago i noticed that a few desktop icons have the security shield on the right side . how do i remove the security shield from icon and not give security protection
The icons having Shield icon associated with it means that they need administrator privileges every time they run. Not any kind of security as you think, this thing simply says that they should be run from any administrator's account or other account with administrator password.
Hope this helps, Mrityunjay.

Have you checked the Documents and Settings folder? Basically, Desktop Icons are just shortcuts/links to actual programs.
Since you know which programs had shortcuts to the desktop, use the My Computer in the Start Menu to go to the Program Files and Windows directories to go to the actual program. Then "Right-Mouse Click" these programs, choose "Send to" -> "Desktop". A shortcut will be created on the desktop.
For the standard Windows Icons, use the right mouse click, select Properties, Go to Desktop, click Advanced then select My Computer, etc....
SOURCE: how do I restore volume icon using vista windows
go to control panel. click Sounds and multimedia. Check the little icon that looks like a little speaker. If it's not there, Click on Audio on the same window. it is supposed to say what sound media you have. If there is nothing , you will have to reinstall the sound software using the Cd ROM. Or other CD media.

It sounds like you've already worked through the basics...I'll assume you've restarted the system and given it time to load completely...
Please see this article, and this link includes a "reset" registry patch if you're not comfortable messing around there manually. If you want an exhaustive recapitulation of the search for a solution to this error, see here.
I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.

SOURCE: i cant remove the box background of each icon in my desktop
You have "drop shadows" disabled. This can happen when windows thinks that your computer is struggling, and turns the "drop shadows" off. (I like to think of drop shadows as transparency) To re-enable them, Go start, and right click on "my computer" Press properties, and click "advanced". Then under "performance" click settings. Scroll to the bottom of this list, and second to bottom will be a checkbox with something about drop shadows on it. Make sure that this is ticked, and if it isnt, the tick it. If your this doest work, then untick it and click apply, then re- tick it, and go apply again. If this STILL doent work, then cross off the windows, and right click the desktop, go "desktop", and choose another background.
Hope that this solves your drop shadows problem!

SOURCE: Desktop URL shortcuts no longer have website icons. Ugly E symbol
Right click on the shortcut and copy the url.
Create a new shortcut and paste the url into the location, give it a name then save the new shortcut.
The new shortcut should appear on your desktop with the icon of the website. You can then delete the old shortcut.
Unfortunately, this seems to be the only way to get the proper icon. You can click on the change icon button when you're viewing the propertis of the shortcut but the icon of the website will not be displayed.
