daveiw 4 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Right click on blank desktop space >> Personalization >> Themes >> Desktop Icons >> Uncheck allow themes to change desktop icons. I may have had this happen even though I use a solid color desktop. There is also a bat file around to rebuild the icon cache. Doesn't help, the issue seems to occur after ESS removes malware/potential malware - it's as if a registry entry is borked or removed completely upon said malware removal. As I said, it's a shame, as I'm now forced to look elsewhere. (temporarily - I hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken1943 22 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I tried to rebuild the icon cache without any luck. I have read about this problem over the years, but first time I have had it happen to me. I am going to remove ess to test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken1943 22 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Don't forget this is Windows 10 so anything can happen. I doubt if Microsoft even knows how it works. Edited September 22, 2015 by ken1943 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken1943 22 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Uninstalled ESS, no change. You guys are lookin in the wrong direction or some else just decided to screw up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken I appreciate that you are trying to help, but you are a little off the mark. The issue has page after page of posts on various websites pointing out that their icons no longer stay where put after a restart and the folder views are not saved either - example can't save as list view. keeps reverting to small/big icons whatever. Okay, the issue appears to be the result of Eset removing malware (as I said in an earlier post) following this removal the issue arises. It is *not* just a general fault, the only time it happens is following the removal of malware, even potential malware as it was in my case. Furthermore, uninstalling Eset *after* the bug has been discovered does *not* fix the issue, it would appear something is corrupted during the malware removal (again as I said earlier) Thank you for your interest.

ken1943 22 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 The machine in question was ok yesterday and only had Eset SS definition update. No scans done no warnings. I installed Outpost Security Suite and will try a scan later. I read about this trouble for many years, but never had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have v8/win10 on a laptop that has never had any "notification" of a virus or removal , no problems with folders or icons. Desktop v9/win10 that HAS had a "notification" of a virus removal on an email i received and this is the machine with the messed up desktop icons and folder views. Not sure if this is a ESET problem or a MICROSOFT problem as windows 10 is really still in its infancy. Surely someone from ESET who is reading this forum/thread can replicate what other users are saying is "triggering" this problem and get round to providing an answer. I really don't fancy the idea of formatting and reinstalling windows and all my software to fix small (but annoying) bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corso 1 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I had this big problem with my Windows 10 Pro x64 machine. Had to reinstall windows 10 several times Before i figure it out in my case. Turned out ESET deleted Winzip 18.5 files, that was the cause of windows not remembering Icon positions, and desktop view. Then used systemrestore and it was back normal again. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you confirm that no threat had been detected shortly before the issue occurred? I cannot help for now as i did a system restore and i'm staying without eset until the issue is fixed, though i can tell that when you modify the folder view setup nothing changes in the registry, it's like the system is unable to read/write in the registry bags where folder/icon settings are stored. When ESET finds a potentially dangerous threat, somehow changes some of the registry permissions. Until a week ago i had my system which was upgraded from windows 8.1, same eset version i belive and i didn't have any issue. The issue arised when i did a clean w10 install and eset found a potentially dangerous software in one of my files (though it's not dangerous, it's just an installer with extra junk software) .so either one of the latest update broke something or the issue is replicable only on windows 10 clean installs Edited September 23, 2015 by venzo92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
