Gaming Amazing Discovery all Windows Versions

[DQScott95]

Ok so everyone hates the dotted border that appears around desktop icons randomly...right...well i found a fix for this!!! Go to thewindowsclub.com and there is a program you can download called FixWin, after you download it and run it go to the tab that says additional fixes and click "fix corrupted desktop icons" it works it made me soooo happy.

How is this an AMAZING discovery?

It's not a big deal..

 

[DQScott95]

Some people think it is like computer perfectionests like me

Doesn't vista and 7 have nice blue boarders?

 

[DQScott95]

Yes they do but sometimes the dotted border reappears and it really looks ugly and annoys some people

 

[Costello]

is this what you're talking about?

(around "my computer")

i dont think its such a problem, but i guess yeah if you're really a perfectionist...

At first I thought, OMG WHAT COULD IT BE?!?!? Saw the OP and was like wtffff. Then I saw Costello's post. I've never gotten such a thing before in my life. I don't see the point of it, can't u just refresh the desktop or restart explorer to get rid of it?

 

[DQScott95]

No refreshing the desktop only makes it go away until you click the desktop again and restarting explorer.exe wont help trust me ive tried everything and this seems to be the only permanent solution and yes Costello that is what i am talking about

 

[foxgrey]

never heard of that program, but dial-a-fix has had a icon cache flush for years, and it works as advertised!

It makes navigating the computer without a mouse quicker, though.

 

[DQScott95]

Hows that?

If you were a really computer perfectionist, you wouldn't care, as it's normal for that to happen (I think...Doesn't it appear when you single-click on an icon?). Unless this is something completely different than what I'm thinking of.

 

[DQScott95]

In windows 7 and vista instead of that it has a nice beautiful blue highlight

 

[DeMoN]

I think if you have Aero enabled then that you get the blue highlight instead.
Though this is a nice find for low-end computer users.

 

[Joe88]

id rather have a fix for disappearing icons on the desktop without have to refresh in windows 7

 

[DQScott95]

I have aero enabled and it happens to me a lot

 

[Rydian]

Hows that?

You can see where the "cursor" will be when you bring focus to the desktop.

 

[DQScott95]

Ya but most people use the mouse for navigating

 

[triassic911]

This isn't really that big of a deal. In fact, I actually prefer seeing a icon highlighted on my desktop. It means my computer is working, lol.
