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.
my computer wont let me turn on notifications icon for battery and sound when i try to turn on they are grey out and wont let me idk y i have a window 7 starter intel atom hp mini laptop
(Just got a new replacement battery because my old one finally died)As I'm writing this my battery status shows the charge. In about a minute, I'm assuming it will switch back to the red X status that says "No battery is detected"....The icon switches back and forth constantly and can't decide weather to show my status, or lie to me and tell me there's no battery attached to my laptop.I've read many threads about "no battery is detected" problems and I've done all the steps. New bios, detach and re-attach battery, uninstall and reinstall drivers, everything
Logged in today and just saw that the battery icon has gone. So now I don't know whether I have full battery or almost gone, apart from the alerts.
I right clicked the the taskbar above the other icons > properties but the power icon is set to off, and the 'off' button is blurred out, so I can't set it back to on. All the other icons are set to 'on', and have the option to be turned off, just the battery one is blocked.
Just recently i have noticed that the battery icon is missing from my taskbar. I have already right clicked on the taskbar and went under 'notification area' and selected for it to always be displayed. I have also tried clicking on 'turn system settings on and off' but it says it is off and does not allow be to turn it on. It kind of looks like the icon is missing or there is no icon for the battery power. I have a Windows 7 laptop.
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.
My battery icon has disappeared from the bottom right hand side of my toolbar. I am using windows 7. I went into tray icons and the power notification is greyed out. How to get this icon back?
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?
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.
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?
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.
