How can I resolve this issue? Simple solutions 123ĭon't worry, this issue is usually due to a software or application you installed causing an conflict with the file IconCache.db. Oh no, all the icons on the desktop have become blank! Restarting the computer doesn't change anything. I hope this helps.Windows 7 Home Premium Windows 7 Professional Windows 7 Ultimate More. I don’t know if this is a bug in win7 圆4 or another app is causing this strange behavior.
probably this is not the best way of solving that issue, but its better than a reboot, or (safe mode which was a solution mentioned on tomshardware – By the way, how safe mode will solve the lock issue :mellow: ?). Then the locked icon issue was gone and I was able to move the icons in the desktop again. I also tried the following and it worked: I terminated the explorer.exe process with task manager, and then re-run the process explorer.exe again with task manager. However, I’ve seen this lock issue happen especially after resuming from hibernation. :confused: you can still move around the desktop icons from windows explorer, but the ones in the desktop are locked. I have exactly the same problem with Win7 64bit, it is very strange and I noticed that the “locked desktop icons” issue happens randomly. The desktop icons are completely locked – unmovable. I’ve searched on google for a solution to this locked issue but could not find anything.
I’m wondering if anyone else has had this problem…? Not sure if this a Win7 glitch or something with one of my apps – no specific computer activity causes this behavior. Every now and then, though, the icons ‘magically’ become locked into their current position and a reboot is necessary to unlock them (when I reboot, the current icon positioning is maintained and I can freely move them again). Usually, I can freely move them when desired (as in moving a new shortcut to an application or a saved shortcut to a website to a different spot on the desktop). To clarify my issue: I have arranged the icons where I want (having AutoArrange deselected).
