I can only see them by going to "Bookmarks", "Bookmarks", then "Other bookmarks". This occurs after updating to version 67.0.3575.31.

@cengo Who's Opera crush? Or Opera is someone's crush?

Hmm...I replaced the existing link sticked to my task bar with the link Opera creates every time I start it.
Seems like it stopped creating a link now.

So, you're saying you unpinned the Opera tasbkar icon you had, started Opera with the desktop shortcut that Opera keeps creating, and right-clicked on that taskbar button when Opera started and choose to pin that? Then, you deleted the desktop icon and it doesn't come back now?

Yup, exactly.

@mathias87 Are you using Windows 10? Using multiple monitors? Do you have another drive besides C:? Can you check with Process Monitor too?

Yes, Windows 10. One monitor. No other drive besides "C:".
How do I open this process monitor? And what can I do with it?

Okay. Did you change your desktop to a different folder though?

Either way, can you check the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" key in the registry to see too if you have more than one entry that has a value with "desktop" in it? Can you also check "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders"? @wdburgdorf, can you check this key also?

Only one entry that has a value with "Desktop" in it. Same for "[...] Shell Folders".

Yes, it works indeed! Thank you @mathias87!

Awesome! Yes, good find @mathias87

@nvmjustagirl said in Deleted desktop icon back on every start:

if only they had copy and pasted the icons properties

Yes. I should have asked that as I still can't figure out how to reproduce this myself so that a bug can be filed to work around it.

Opera uses launcher.exe to load the opera.exe in the latest version folder. If you load opera.exe directly (and pin that to the taskbar), Opera will fix the pinned shortcut so that it has the path to launcher.exe instead of opera.exe. If not, when you launch via launcher.exe, you'll get another taskbar button. Anyway, I think something with that in some circumstance (that I'm not exactly sure of) triggers the desktop icon creation.

@mathias87 and @wdburgdorf , if the deleted desktop icon is still in the recycling bin, can you go in there, right-click it, choose "cut", paste it into another folder besides the desktop, right-click it and goto "properties"? Would be interested in seeing screenshots of the "shortcut" and "details" tabs. Or, at least, post the name of the shortcut and the target. Thanks.

No sorry, I don't have that deleted desktop icon in the recycling bin anymore as I solved this bug now and personally don't understand most of what you're saying in that technical manner.^^

@l33t4opera I don't think anyone of us wants to import bookmarks to solve this error. We just want them all back.

@l33t4opera Yes, nice!

@l33t4opera Yes, nice!

Very weird "new" behaviour of the bookmars bar after I saved some more bookmarks to it. The scroll buttons re-appeared:

@l33t4opera How about we stop experimenting and wait for the update...?!

@l33t4opera Fact is it didn't behave like it does now before I updated Opera to this version.

@l33t4opera I don't think anyone of us wants to import bookmarks to solve this error. We just want them all back.

@pindos Exactly. We'll have to hope for an update soon!

@l33t4opera No, this doesn't change it.

@pindos Let's hope they're gonna fix it with another update very soon!
