I've already added a Show desktop button in Quick Launch toolbar near the Start button, I don't wanna keep both of Show desktop buttons in left and right, thus wanna remove the right one newly introduced in Windows 7.
Is there any methods to do or workaround?
I know change the theme to other than Classic will not show you the button, However I like Classic theme so that won't change theme to others.
I just bought a Dell notebook with Windows 7 installed. I had Vista installed in my other computer and so learning Windows 7 is a bit of a challenge. My current problem is, the desktop icon is missing from the (I think it is called) the systems tray. It's the "tray" at the bottom of the Window's screen. It was there when I first started Windows but soon after I noticed that it is missing. Is there any way to get the desktop icon back? It made it much easier to get to the desktop from another program.
I am running windows 7 premium 32 bit and as of recently ive had a strange problem. If I download something and set the location to desktop the icon will not show up on my desktop. If i click on look in folder containing it is there. If I delete it and restore it will then show up on my desktop. I can drag things out on to the desktop and they will show up. It seems that only things I download to the desktop do not show up.
I know that I can access the desktop through the far right of the toolbar, but I want what I've had for years the simple little show desktop icon on the bottom left/middle. I created the "showdesktop.scf" file on the desktop, but I can't seem to get it to pin to the taskbar it will pin to everything else: the start menu, windows explorer, my grandpa's beard but how can I get it to just sit there on the taskbar?
On the bottom right of the desktop on Windows 76, the notification icon for internet usually shows the disconnected icon or the no access icon. I'm still connected to the internet though and when I click on the icon, it opens up to show my connection (that is working). Why is it doing this? I've tried googling it, no use. It's not really a big deal, but knowing if I'm connected without having to click on the icon is nice.
Is there a way to show the Power notification icon in the system tray on a desktop?
In "Turn system icons on or off", the drop-down menu beside Power is grayed out and set to off. After a google search, I found a registry tweak wherein I'm supposed to delete some registry keys that hide notification icons, but these registry keys don't exist.
Keep in mind that I'm on a desktop, which might be why it is disabled. I don't have a UPS so there is no battery to monitor, but I'd like to be able to switch power plans quickly. I might just have to stick with a desktop shortcut.
I usually have IE windows open monitoring 6 different forums. When I hover the mouse over the IE icon on the task bar, the 6 IE windows show preview panes across the bottom of the desktop, in the order in which they were opened. Sometimes the order of these preview panes changes. What causes this? Where/how are these preview panes stored?
How can i disable the notifications in the yellow boxes at the bottom of the page for IE9?
I just want to surf without being interupted by those just about every other website i go to
And for all those IE haters out there....i bounce around to FireFox and Chrome too. So dont just jump out and say dump IE (if that came across as harsh, but i want some REAL replies)
My new Windows 7 laptop came without shortcuts to IE on either the desktop or the taskbar. I can't find the IE execute file so I can create my own. Along the same path, how to I create the "show the desktop" icon on the taskbar?
I use my Windows 7 sticky notes pinned to my bottom tray. Lately after my pc restarts the sticky notes icon disappears from my bottom tray. Usually I find the icon in the accessories category & I just re-execute it & repin it to the bottom tray. But after my last recycle of the pc, sticky notes is not even found under the accessories area. I've tried doing a search & a sticky notes file is found, but it cannot be opened. I do like using sticky notes.
i'm wondering why this happen to me, there is yellow triangle on my network icon bottom right once every 3 hours.it doesn't sharp 3 hours, but i can say it's almost every 3 hours.
i had my desktop taskbar and start bottom... the problem is no desktop image same on my taskbar... only the tittle i can see on my desktop but still i can access to my program... another things is my start bottom is lock or shall i say not functioning only left click is working but right click nothing happened.... more over its to bad to me i can't access to Internet....
Whenever I single left click on an icon, file, or folder a repetitive popup appears asking if I want to send whatever I clicked on to the recycle bin. The item is sent to the recycle bin regardless.
So the notification area in Windows 7 is customizable in that you can select to show all icons and notifications or selectably "Icon and notifications", "Notifications only", "No icon or notifications" for the programs. There is one option missing, showing only icon but not notifications.
How could I work around that? There are some programs I want to show on the notification area for their icon but I do not want to receive the notification bubbles of them and there are no options in the programs themselves to turn them off.
Of course to my logic if there is option to show notifications but no icon, there should also be option to show icon but no notifications. Well, apparently the new name "notification area" is made to resemble this restriction, it's made for the notifications and the icons showing there are extra. But what if the user wants it to behave otherwise?
I've just installed my service packs and I have an issue. When I click ALT +F4 I have that icon pop up asking how to shut down windows - I cant have it in my line of work
in my way to customize my windows 7 sp1, i change some icon system like:atmeter.dllpnidui.dllSndVolSSO.dlllike many others time i became ownership of these files, rename these like .bak and put new file in C:WindowsSystem32Rebbot system and no icon show in system tray. I verify in panel active/disactive system icons and all these are inactive and i cannot change status.So i comeback and restore original dll but the problem ramain.
for some reason the Battery, network and volume icons in the notification area are gone! I have windows 7 Ultimate on a HP EliteBook 6930 I've tried to change the setting in gpmc.msc but no luck.
I've been using Comodo for years, all throughout my XP years until I switched to Windows 7 a couple months ago, but have been getting frustrated with its frequent 100% cpu usage with Windows 7. I currently have the next-to-useless network icon in my tray at the moment, but is there some way to enable an icon for the firewall itself, and maybe shows up/down traffic (like Comodo would do)? I'm basically just looking to have some indicator that the firewall is running for peace of mind, maybe with a bit of functionality as well.
