Permanently Hiding Icons In Taskbar
Feb 12, 2009
I have installed some programs on the computer of my kids and I dont want them to fiddle with their icons which are found near the time they are closing the programs all the time. I dont even want to hide the icons, I want them gone from the taskbar without effecting the operation of the program. I know XP allows icons to be always hidden but then you can reveal them by clicking on the small arrow buttons i dont want that, just want them gone.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium on an HP Pavillion DV9000 laptop and since day one, the task bar clock has NEVER shown the correct time. The correct time zone is displayed, I have disabled the internet updates and I have set the correct time who knows how many times. However it can take DAYS for it to move forward minutes. sometimes, it does a time warp and goes back in time. The BIOS clock has no problems, displays the correct date and time every time, but it is now beginning to bug the heck out of me.

I am looking for a way to completely and totally hide icons in the System Tray area. I'm already aware of Window's "Hide inactive icons" ability, but this is not what I am looking for. I want a program that will completely hide/remove the icons I specify from the System Tray, while still allowing the programs they are associated with to run. I've done a lot of searching, but haven't found anything useful. The best example I can give you guys is a program called HideSRHI.exe which hides the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon. I need something similar to that program, but which will allow me to specify what icons to remove.

I have the same problems as a lot of people, also with my network and sound my internet security icon also disapeares. Ive tried the fix in the registry but it just happens again later. I can reboot and everything is back but after awhile they just disapear again. I know is has something to do with SP1 because i didnt have this problem untill installing it. Is there any perminent fixes out there. Or is just getting rid of sp1 the only good fix. Asus P4N-D, intel 8300, 4g crosair dom, 8800 GTS(X2), vista 32ultimate Kaspersky internet suite

After reinstalling Vista, I noticed that the taskbar icons were no longer displayed as large icons. I believe there used to be an option available to display large icons. I haven't been able to figure out how to make the icons and buttons on the taskbar larger.
FYI, I am running Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 2, with all Microsoft updates applied.

An easy way to give your Windows Vista box a clean look is to remove the application labels on the taskbar. With a registry hack you can make your Windows Vista taskbar look similar to the Windows 7 icon only taskbar ...

I normally set up my taskbar two rows in heighth with the quick launch icons on the far left. This leaves the middle section for the "open tabs". I recently did a clean reinstall (restored an image) and somewhere in that process or the ensuing windows updates, the taskbar layout got all screwed up and I am unable to make it right. This is what is there now (with the task bar unlocked so the "dotted section divider lines" are visible: On the far left next to the Start button is the first set of divider lines.
(Normally, the quick launch icons are to the left of this line). To the right of the divider lines are the "tabs" for open windows. Then to the right of these are the second set of divider lines, followed by the quick launch icons, followed by the third set of divider lines. To the right of the third set is an address tool bar I installed and then the notification area. I have searched through the microsoft site and found nothing that helps me with this. This anomoly has happened before (sometime ago with XP) and somehow I fixed it by "fiddling around". My curse in life is that I am not able to live with these little annoyances.

I have rebooted my Laptop normally, I logged into Windows Vista and i was surprised by having the Desktop background disappeared along with it's Icons. The programs work fine... I tried choosing a picture and setting it to a desktop background. Still nothing. I terminated explorer.exe, The desktop background appeared. but since i terminated it, the taskbar and icons are gone. I Can't right click on the desktop, and when i move the cursor inside it, it's still "loading" for ever.

I had a probem a few days ago with my mail being pilfered from my server acct by WM. I got some brilliant advice about setting for a copy to be left on my server. That worked fabulously for the last few days but it has gone to hell this afternoon. Again my email server doesn't have a copy and my email has disappeared in WM without a trace. Any thoughts on how I can find my emails and make a permanent fix?

I have Vista Home edition, in the past with XP, I was able to "hide" the Administrator account, so it would not be seen at login. I tried this with Vista and I have locked myself out. Is there anyway I can get back in and change the registry back to it's original configuration? These are the instructions I used to "hide" the Admin account. The administrator on this particular machine is named "Owner". Can I enable the built in "Administrator" account?

this is my first post and I'm not an experienced Vistaman! I have a custom built media centre which works fine with a wired keyboard and mouse. However, with the wired keyboard and mouse replaced by a wireless USB keyboard and mouse, the case and cpu fans continue to run indefinitely after shutdown (or until the PSU is switched off). This happens even if the unit is cold and turned on and off immediately I have tried with two different wireless keyboard and mice systems, one Logitech and the other an unbranded unit and it makes no difference. Both these systems work fine on other computers. So I don't think that's the problem. BUT... if I leave the hardwired keyboard plugged in (purple plug) whilst using the wireless keyboard and mouse the fans stop at shutdown as normal.... if I plug the wired keyboard in whilst the fans are running on as in 1. above, the fans stop immediately! I have tried the wireless keyboard and mouse in all the USB ports - but no difference. I flash the mobo BIOS as a starter?

Is there anyway to permanently change the font size to a larger print in Windows Vista. I have tried suggestions from IE going to options and then "general", but there is no place to change the size of the font.... One of the reasons I don't use the new e-mail set up is because the print is too small and everything is bunched together. They weren't thinking of senior citizens when they designed that!

A long time ago I installed a Mac theme because I grew so weary of the Vista theme. But, when I uninstalled it, it never seemed to do so correctly (i.e., logon screen still has a mac background). I didn't care so much because it was only the logonscreen. BUT. Recently I was surfing the internet and found out (YEAH I hear everything first!! xD) that Vista Home Premium slows down your computer. So, I switched to Vista Basic. But I grew tired of that too and wanted to switch back. BUT THERE IS NO AERO THEME! THERE ARE ONLY 3 VISTA BASICS! 2 of them are mac themes and then there is the original Vista Basic theme.
I found the Aero theme in the /windows on the HDD and when I click it, the Vista Basic theme chooser doesn't show up, but Windows Vista Premium. This is all very strange. OH, I almost forgot. The files that are in the themes folder are: MAC OS X 10.5, VistaOSX Theme, Windows Classis and Aero. Also there are folders named: Aero, leo4, VistaOSX9. I tried moving the files and folders that were in VistaOSX folder to the desktop and then copying the ones from Aero to there, but then the VIstaOSX theme disappeared (or one of the Basics and VIstaOSX turned into the new basic cuz I put the files in there).

I have this annoying windows firewall box that pops up about every 15 minutes or so and i am starting to get really annoyed. The attached picture shows everything. I had Avast! when it stared and that didnt catch anything in real-time if my full system scan. I also downloaded spybot and that didnot come up with anything in my full system scan. Now i have downloaded comodo and there is nothing that has come up so far. How should i go about this? how do i stop comodo from haveing a popup box everytime i run something(it feels like every time i click the mouse for a program i have to approve about 5 other things with comodo before i can actually get to the program or task i am doing.)

I have uninstalled programs before and I thought they were gone. Then something would happen and I would do a system restore. When I did there are the program (s) I thought I uninstalled. So how does one permanently delete/uninstall programs completely? I was under the assumption that if you uninstalled something it was deleted.

Does anyone know how I could hide the various, non-deleteable foreign language fonts so they won't show up in my drop-down fonts lists? scrolling through all these useless fonts takes a lot of time, and I'll never use them. I tried to delete them, even when logged in as owner and administrator, taking ownership, etc., but have found no solution myself after trying all the solutions that were posted on this forum.

All of my picture icons were changed to standard-generic icons when I had my computer restored to the factory direct setting. Now they don't display anything except a flower, house, ect. My question is: How do I change the picture icon setting back so I can see a tiny preview thingy for each icon, instead of having to click on each one to see what they really are?

A Vista SP1 Home Premium problem - 9 live icons covering 9 dead icons: Several days ago I had a desktop with 9 live, working icons at the bottom of the desktop. ie: recycle bin, computer, network, control panel, etc. The 9th icon was a folder called 'powershell'.
Several days ago I deleted the 'powershell' folder, and, underneath that folder, was surprised to find a dead copy of the 'powershell' folder. The deleted 'powershell' folder was in the recycle bin, and an undeleted dead copy on the desktop. This dead copy cannot be accessed with selection, left-click, or right-click operations - so the 'Properties' info cannot be displayed.........
