How To Make Open Programs On Taskbar Display Wide ?
Sep 8, 2009
I saw if some folks screen shots, that there must be a way to cause the open programs on the task bar to display wide.. Referring to sergio's theme, and a few others. I have dug into the taskbar options, but not struck gold, anyone know how this can be done?

if I were to minimize a program, the only way to access it again is by pressing Alt + Tab.

I apologize - I know I made a post about this a while back, but I have since forgot what the solution was and so I have to ask again.Anyway, I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. A problem I run into every once is when I click on a program icon in the taskbar that program never opens. This doesn't happen a lot, but enough to be annoying. I have never found any solution or even a clue to what could be causing this in all the forums and web sites I've visited.Whatever info you need me to post I will be glad to do it.

I have several open applications running. The icons display on the taskbar as running. After some time the icons will disappear. They are still running in task manager but are notvisible on the task bar. I can reboot andopen again and they will show.

So my laptop was working fine last night, woke up this morning and this issue appeared. I'm guessing it's a virus (stupidly, I haven't installed an AVP on this machine yet). Anyways, I can't open anything. Doesn't matter where I try to open the program or file from. The load icon appears but nothing happens. I also can't access the task manager or shut down/log off/etc. from the start menu, I get a "Failure to display security and shut down options" error msg. I'm in safe mode with networking right now, which is allowing me to open programs. I've already tried a system restore but it didn't solve the problem.

OK so on to my problem and question. I set my taskbar to be along the top of my monitor screen. It seems like ever since WinXP and probably before that, some windows that open creep under the taskbar. So when this happens, I have to move my taskbar in order to close the window. Yeah I know there's other ways to close this window without moving the taskbar, but another more elegant way to avoid this problem is make the taskbar solid so the window can't creep under the it

By default the icons for programs I'm using in the taskbar (firefox, fl studio, etc.) are on the left, right next to the start menu button. How can I make them on the right, next to the notification area icons?

how I could make the icons on the taskbar bigger.. the only option under 'right click' -> 'properties' is to make them smaller.. the other option under "Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Display" makes everything big..

Every icon on my taskbar only open off screen. I can see they are open by the thumbnail picture, but I can't make it my active window. I have tried the alt-tab, move method but still can't get them to appear. Is the problem caused because my computer thinks there are two monitors, when I actually have only one? How do I stop this from happening?

I added my user folder as a toolbar to the taskbar for quick access to its subfolders and files. I had set some of rarely-used system folders in my user folder (such as "Desktop," "Searches" etc.) as hidden, and selected "Do not show hidden folders, etc." in Folder Options. These hidden folders are not shown in Windows explorer's window, but they show up on the taskbar's toolbar. Is there a way to keep them hidden on the taskbar as well?

When I first started to use Windows 7 I loved everything except what I thought was quite a slow way of navigating on the superbar. If you had lots of tabs open you had to first hover over/click the application button (and wait) then select the tab you wanted.
I don't know if anyone else thought this was a problem, but I found a way to make the hover over preview display much quicker, just in case you do not know what I am referring to here is an example.
Simple Walkthrough
Step 1
Firstly open regedit (just type regedit into the search bar)
*Note a UAC window will pop up, just click yes. Just don't go changing any other values than the one I say!
Step 2
Navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelMouse"
Step 3
Find the "MouseHoverTime", which default value is 400 (400ms)
Step 4
You can now change the value to whatever you want; obviously you could set it to something extremely low (NOT 0!) to make it appear instantly, but bare in mind Recent Item lists in the start menu (as shown below) are also affected by this change; so a very low value could get annoying.
I personally found a value of 100 works very well, and makes everything seem a lot snappier and responds quicker!

In Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium, when I hover over a program icon in the taskbar, it takes about two seconds for the name of the program pop-up over the icon to show up. Is it possible to speed that up? Yeah, I know, I'm impatient but, at my age, every second is precious .

When I have a couple of screens open on my desktop. When I click on an icon for, lets say, iTunes, I can see the iTunes window appear behind the translucent taskbar of Win 7. Ditto for MS World.How do i get programs that are already open to open up with ONE click, instead of having to closed down all the other windows.

For a while my windows 7 64 bit would open my images in Documents. Now when I try they appear as a garbled strange format. If I go to PSP ProX2 they open fine. This is a problem for me since I often need to add images to document Newsletters I send out.

Today I lost my quick launch Google Chrome in the task bar. When I tried to replace it, it would not allow me. I tried to pin other programs and could not get any to work. I also opened the program(s) and from the task bar right clicked the program while in the task bar, but there was no option to pin. I did the same by going to the start menu, again no option to pin.

For years now I have been using multiple displays with reasonably little trouble when fullscreening item such as VLC whilst using the secondary display.
I just built a Windows 7 PC and it appears to a problem i've not encountered before.
When I full screen an item in my main display and click on my secondary display the taskbar appears over the full-screened application. (item stays full-screened from top to bottom but taskbar is now present) This never use to happen before on my Vista machine and I assume there is something quite simply i'm missing?
I can sort of alleviate the problem by 'auto-hiding' but this isn't ideal as you can still see the the taskbar slightly which is a distraction when watching video

In IE8, do people use it? I find it blocks something on every web page I visit so I'm always seeing the exclamation point. And wondering if it is making the web page not display properly. On a few sites I was able to allow some things to make the pages display correct but then it has to be run with "choose which content to block" which seems basically the same as not running it at all. I couldn't find a lot of info about it. Only how to turn it on or off.

I enjoy windows 7, and I love the new jumplist feature. Problem is, in order to use it I have to enable the "Store and display recently opened items in the start menu and taskbar".
I can pin folders that I frequently visit, and the same goes for just about anything else - I do NOT want to see the recent files, websites, or folders that I have visited. If I disable it completely though, it completely destroys the ability to use custom jumplists.
Steam has a very cool jumplist feature, I'm able to change my status on it, pin favorite games to it, as well as open specific tabs. The program "Jumplist Launcher" also lets me create categories to use for programs and games, and I love it.
In order to use all that however, I have to enable recent items. Those items clutter the crap out of my jumplists and they're annoying to clear, so I'm wondering if anybody knows how I can completely disable the ability to see these. Can anything be done other than simply deleting everything in the recent items folder?

I had this problem with some programs, when I was running windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit and now that I’ve upgraded my notebook to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, I’m seeing this problem happen much more often.
When I open some programs, either the main program window or message box’s or menu’s, open up extending below my taskbar. In Outlook 2007 when I try to set up email accounts, the setup wizard go’s below my taskbar which means I can’t click on next or Finish. True Launch Bar is also another program that does the same thing and half a dozen other programs.
My screen is set at its max 1900 x 1200 resolution and the DPI is currently at 170%. Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate and when I try to open a folder such as My Computer from the desktop or the Start Menu it will not open. What happens is it appears as a pinned folder on the taskbar. Holding mouse over folder it opens the small preview pane but there is no way that I can get it to open full screen.
