I have connected my laptop and my tv via HDMI. It used to work perfectly, however though the desktop comes up on my tv nothing else does. My Web browser isn't coming up on the tv and nome of my folders I have shortcutted onto my computer are on the tv screen. Any advice?

In your Windows display settings, are the screens set as 'Extended' or 'Clone' ?
