How can i restore the simple drive icon to my desktop. Thanks. Graham Wood.
The use of desktop icons has served to simplify opening and
using programs in Microsoft Windows.
With a simple click of the mouse, an entire program can be
opened.
Unfortunately those desktop icons can also be deleted,
sometimes accidentally or sometimes by the desktop cleaning utility that runs
in Windows, but there is a simple process to recover desktop icons.
Just follow these steps.
Click it without a ticket.
To restore lost desktop icons, first place your mouse
anywhere in a blank area on your desktop. Once you have placed your cursor in
an unused area of the desktop, right click.
Check the pop up.
Once you have right-clicked your mouse in the unused area of
your desktop you will receive a pop up menu or prompt.
Choose "Properties" by left clicking it with your
mouse.
Grab that tab. Once you have clicked on
"Properties" you will receive a dialog box.
Click on the tab labeled "Desktop."
Customize it.
Once you have clicked the "Desktop" tab choose
"Customize Desktop" which will prompt another dialog box to open.
From there click on the "General" tab.
Restore order.
After you have clicked the "General" tab you will
see a list of icons.
Simply choose the icons you want restored or placed on the
desktop and then click "OK."
That's it.
You have now successfully restored your desktop
icons.

Hi Boru,
This happens when you might have tried to use a corrupted CD or a file has been deleted or corrupted.
Follow the below steps :-
1. Restart the Desktop.
If problem still remain,
2. Use system restore. Usually this function depends on the Operating system. Check if you have this function and you can use this to restore your system.
IF NOT,
The only solution "Format the PC".
Thanks for using Fixya.
