Show Text From Specific Programs On Taskbar

Nov 3, 2009

Is there a way to make only certain programs show their text in the Windows 7 taskbar? Under normal circumstances, I still want to use icon view, but some programs use their title bars to show information that I would like to see. Is there a registry tweak or anything to do this for those specific programs?

Running Programs Won't Show Up On Taskbar

Jan 2, 2010

I'm running 64-bit Windows 7. Last night my computer was fine, and I just booted up today to find that whenever I run programs, they don't show up on the taskbar. I have two monitors, one is my laptops screen and the other an external one. If I drag the applications to my laptop screen, they show up on the external screen, but if they are on the external screen, they don't show up at all.

The external is set to my main display.

Any ideas on what's going on?

Taskbar Window Preview Somehow Changed To Text?

Sep 28, 2011

i am running at a resolution of 5760x1080 and notice that the mouse over preview on aplications pinned to the task bar have changed to text. this problem has been going ov for some time. when i change my resolution back to 1920x1080 (16x9) it works just fine. i am using the aero theme so that should not be the problem. i think that my computer thinks i have less ram than i do. i have 10 gb of ram, soon 16, and i am only using 30pct if im not doing something graphics intense.

Forcing Programs To Use A Specific NIC

Sep 6, 2009

So I have 2 sources of internet.

DSL and Cable.

However, the Cable provider only gives you around 30 GB per month of bandwidth.

DSL is unlimited bandwidth.

I want to be able to use 1 or the other connection for different programs.

E.g. My Download Manger would use the DSL

P2P programs and torrents would use the DSL

FTP Software would use the DSL

Surfing the net would use the Cable.

Control a computer remotely would use the cable.

Mail retrieval would use the cable conneciton

The purpose of this is just to make it so I can browse and do "non-bandwidth heavy" tasks with the fast Cable connection.

As the other connection is usually saturated by bandwidth heavy activites.

Currently my setup is

1 Linksys WRT54GL, using MLPPP via Tomato Firmware (Bonding 2 DSL Lines)

Each DSL Line using its own modem

Tools I have are

A Spare old laptop running windows XP

A Spare router (Linksys BEFW11S4)

A USB to Ethernet Adapter

Is there any way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Searching For Specific Text That Contains Multiple "."s

Feb 26, 2010

I am having trouble getting Windows 7 to accurately report exact searches for text containing multiple periods (i.e., "x.01.001" format). I need the system to report ALL documents in a specified directory that contain the exact text input but I'm finding that windows is reporting documents with only partial matches (i.e., y.01.001 or z.01.001).

I am using "" around the specific text and have the following folder options selected in the search tab:

* Always search file names and contents (this might take several minutes)

* Include subfolders in search results when searching in file folders

* Don't use the index when searching in file folders or system files (searches may take longer)

* Include system directories

choose the right filter settings or modify my input commands to get a more accurate response?

Specific Windows 7 Programs Unresponsive At Startup

Jul 24, 2012

I've had this windows 7 laptop for less than a year now, with no problems at all. I7 processor, good speed/graphics etc. Recently however (about a week ago) I turned it on and although the internet works, very specific (and all seemingly windows related) problems are reoccurring and making the laptop unusable. The first thing i notice when I start it up (I'll write it all because I can't seem to google the right solution for this) is that i get a black screen after entering login details for about 2 mins (used to be very quick). Then it loads and i notice the wifi icon doesn't show connected or anything it just has the loading circle over it and it stays like this (even now as I'm clearly on the internet typing this).

No gadgets launch but eventually i get my desktop. This is were it starts getting annoying because, if I open windows update the window opens blank and just freezes, not the whole computer just the update window, same for msconfig, system restore and other windows programs such as windows media player. I can view installed updates (and I'm thinking removing one of these might be the solution as it was around the time I updated windows that this started happening) which is strange as it seems some sections aren't working at all but some are.

To top it off I turned it on about 5 days ago and had the "this is not a genuine windows product" in the bottom right of my background and thought "that's annoying I'll have to fix it tommorow". So i turn my laptop on the next day, ready to fix it having done nothing, and everything is running perfect, i can see my gadgets, I can open WMP and i can look for updates. Restart my computer later that evening and i'm back to the point of nothing working and still there today. I've done a full system virus scan, a boot scan, a defrag and everything.

Oct 18, 2012

I have my display setting so that my desk top icons are just right but when I open programs the text is almost too small to see, especially in Incredimail the email list is very small but when I open an email file the text is fine as I can enlarge it from a drop down pannel.

Make Hidden Folders Not Show Up On The Taskbar's Toolbar?

Jun 22, 2012

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?

Windows 7 Doesn't Show The Taskbar, Start Button Or Icons After Waking From Sleep?

I just bought a Gateway computer yesterday with Windows 7 preinstalled on it, and last night I tried to wake it from sleep but when I did, it didn't show the taskbar, icons or start button. All I could see was the background. I tried the "ctrl+shift+esc" method to fix it, but when I hit those keys nothing happened. I'm at a loss, and I don't want to return the computer!

Certain Programs Don't Show Up When Opened

Jul 24, 2011

Recently after I finished editing a .txt file in WordPad, I closed out of the program, but then immediately opened it back up because I forgot to change something. The program loaded, and I could see it and it's preview on the taskbar, but it would not show up on my screen. I hadn't installed or modified anything very recently also. Then later that day, after opening up Google Chrome, it did the same thing. I would not show the window on my screen. When I minimized and maximized the window from the taskbar, the animation showed the window going to the far right hand side and off the monitor. When I pressed "Windows Key +Tab" it showed the window, but wouldn't bring it to the front again. I'm not sure what is going on with my computer.

How Programs Show Backup

May 24, 2012

I am Every time I need to redo my system, I totally reformat my hard drive, re-install the OS and then re-install all my software. Maybe this is the only way to do it but is there a way to re-install my OS (Win 7 Pro) and not have to reinstall the software? In other words, I guess I am talking about a partition for the OS and the rest for the software? If this is possible, then by only installing the OS, how will my programs show back up? Maybe I am not getting the picture but someone told me this can be done, thus saving me much time.
