Favicon Not Appearing
May 3, 2009
I have read many of the forum posts regarding custom favicons not
appearing as shortcut. I understand how to change an icon but I used to
be able to drag a web address to my desktopp and have it appear as the
custom favicon of that site. Notebook was restored by IBM and now
dragging or any other method I have read in forum has solved the issue.
Any thoughts? If I want to create a custome icon (I have the address
for just the icon) where is it placed. I pasted in shortcut properties
but then shortcut is directed to favicon page of that website. Thanks
for any help.

The wife has her Vista 64bit box which uses dial up set NOT to check for and automatically DL updates because it is not online always plus user account controls are turned off. Updates are installed every couple days when available while she is at work by me. Because these are disabled pop-ups keep appearing about checking setting and such when I know what the setting are!! Is there a way to keep these notification pop-ups from coming up?
Evertime these things come up the wife gets all paranoid and is calling me to come check because the thing crashed once and now the warning pop-ups or whatever are getting her all bent out of shape even though I tell her to ignore them and they will go away. We know what the settings are and do not need the stupid pop-ups telling us that something is not set the way the damn system thinks it should be!

I'm new to Vista (used to XP) and playing around a bit. I've logged on to a Server 2003 AD domain and the mapped drives that are usually connected via script aren't visible in 'Computer'. My first thought was perhaps some sort of incompatibility between Server 2003 group policy (or script) and Vista Business but when I was creating my recovery disks, I selected create ISO and when browsing for a location, the usual mapped network drives were available. So it appears that the recovery software can see my mapped drives (and therefore the OS must be able to see them) but I can't see them in the OS under 'Computer'. Is there something I need to turn on or off?

I have somewhat of an annoying UI problem with Explorer. For some reason, the TreeView in explorer is adding lines illustrated below: Is there any way to get rid of the lines? This began happening when I set my "Folder Options" to view hidden files. I deleted a lot of extra junk that explorer was hiding on my desktop, and that's when this problem started happening.

Windows Aero problem? I've set my appearance style to Windows Aero, and it's worked pretty well, but lately, I've been having some minor problems. The special fading effects of Aero aren't appearing. When I click on "Minimize" on a window, now the window does not "move" or "fade" to the taskbar, it just abruptly disappears to the taskbar.

I am having some strange entries appearing in my user folder. They look kind of like registry keys. The name on one is: {8fe23f09-822e-47f1-a18a-6c217d3715ac} The other is {fb188761-d295-4c64-ab73-e81bf66b0f24} If I click on these and open them, there is something inside with the file type of "security catalog" I have no idea what these are, where they came from or whether I'll do some kind of harm to my computer by deleting them. This happened to me one other time where these things started appearing. Eventually I accumulated dozens of them. I was having other problems so ended up doing a system recovery, reformatting the drive, and they stopped appearing, but now have started again.

Whenever I attach a picture (.jpeg, .bmp, .pdf, etc.) the entire image appears in full size in the body of the text. I want to be able to attach a picture file without it appearing in the body.
