Malke,

All what I know is that if the Laptop connected to the Network at work and
I Log In, this is not happening but if I Log In and the Laptop not
connected to the Laptop, this is happening. But still sometimes I am not
connected and it is not happening!!!

It sounds like you have a laptop that is a member of a domain at work and
the issue is that the machine is timing out when not connected to the DNS
server on the domain. If this is correct, speak to your systems
administrator about how they want you to use the laptop outside of work.

The same advice goes for the icons on the Desktop. If you can't change
things and this machine is a domain member, domain Group Policy may be
preventing you.
