Transfer desktop setup on Windows 7
Transfer desktop setup on Windows 7
Hi, i have an ssd with an install of windows 7 on it and i did something stupid to it and all i get now is a black screen with the cursor. i am going to grab my files off the system but i want to get a picture of the desktop layout that i have on that install. is there someway that i might be able to do this? can i copy the profile folder to another install of windows and login under the same information (i use a Active Directory Domain for logging into my computers) and have the desktop the way as it was on the install that i messed up?
Question your confidence. Isn't it possible to revert the system?
I turn off system restore since I rarely need it. I wish I had backed up the SSD before proceeding. Can I still copy my desktop layout using a program? I’ve made a workaround to access CMD from the black screen and can run it under my account. Would that allow me to capture a desktop layout?
Have you updated your profiles? Can you access your previous desktop setup in safe mode? Did you overlook executing the "Windows 7 Loader + Activator" tool? If your goal is to preserve everything on your desktop, locate it at C:\Users\###PROFILE NAME HERE###\Desktop. There you’ll see all your saved items. However, the arrangement is missing. All the order of your shortcuts and settings have vanished unless you retrieve them directly from your desktop.
