Hi aeronyth,

Thanks for posting.

I suggest a right click on the broken link and clicking "unpin this program from the taskbar".
Who should remove it from the taskbar.

I hope this helps.

  • Pin a shortcut to the taskbar

    I just installed Windows 7 7100 on SBS2003 R2 32 bit workstation.  Everything seems simple with two exceptions...

    1. I am trying to pin a shortcut to the taskbar, but when I I drag it to the task bar there is a red circle with a bar diagonally and it won't PIN.  When the application is running and I click right to "pin to taskbar" the only options I have are to "close the window.

    2. is there a way to remove, hide or remove a program running in the taskbar (Windows Messenger for example)?

    Thank you very much.

    My understanding from what I've read of Microsoft... shortcuts, folders and disks can be pinned. The icon must be associated with an exe file. You may not remove or hide a program running in the taskbar either. Jonathan Matthis aka "7test" on MSN QnA

  • How to drag a shortcut from the taskbar in Windows 7?

    I have already in XP to create a shortcut for a network on the desktop drive and then create an icon with a program icon for the associated drawing letter that drive (e.g., P for projects), F for finance, etc. and to associate this icon with the shortcut.  Then I could drag and drop this shortcut right in the task bar and voila - a big letter indicating the network drive I could then single click on my desired disc.  It's simple, fast and convenient.  Now, in Windows 7, I can't and drag that shortcut on the taskbar.  Anyone know of a workaround?

  • Adding shortcut to the taskbar

    Hi all

    Is it possible to add a shortcut to the taskbar without using thinreg? I can add to the list of desktop computers and the program but it will not appear on the taskbar, currently I have this line in my package.ini:

    Shortcuts = % programs %; %D esktop %; %APPDATA%\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

    I don't know if the part in bold is a legitimate place, because usually that's where the natively installed IE8 version would have a shortcut. Should I provide a different path location?

    Our VDI desktop environment is Windows 7.

    Kind regards

    Ross

    Ross,

    According to my understanding, ThinApp can be only if deployed PIN using MSI and does not for streaming from a network share.

  • Shortcuts to the taskbar, buttons, text, same .jpg files in the photo viewer shrank mysteriously horizontally... cannot be resolved (Windows 7)

    Hello

    To describe the problem I want to join two screenshots.

    The shortcuts at the bottom used to extend all the way to the right, to the system tray.  The taskbar buttons are tighter, and the text inside is smaller.  The date and time are narrower.  Here's how a screen shot I took in SWTOR looks:

    It is much closer, and all of the text on the screen is smaller.

    Here is what I tried:

    -Unfortunately I don't have a system restore point, so it wasn't an option.

    -Manipulate anything in the taskbar properties did nothing.  I never changed anything.

    -Change the screen resolution was not the answer.

    -Change the size from 100% to 125% don't give me the results I was looking for.  I want this to 100% and never changed.

    -Change the DPI setting has absolutely nothing.

    -Go to the police in the Panel--> font--> font settings, then clicking on "Restore default settings", made the button go gray but did nothing.

    -Go to personalization and selecting the theme of Windows 7 by default only changed color.  Work with advanced appearance settings was not helpful, because there is no option to select a font by default to size everything.  The option 'Office' here does not even allows you to change the font/size.

    -Unchecking and then re - click on my own personal theme in personalization has not changed anything.

    There is more, but this is basically what happened right out of the blue and for the life of me, I can't find a way to change it to the way it was.  It affects same SWTOR that when I log in, all the text in the chat window is smaller.  I'm just looking to Windows by default.  I found a post that told me to download "Set_Tahoma_Default_Font.reg" and then merge - a box of type BACK skipped upward, but nothing happened.  I restarted my PC after almost every change I made.

    Sorry for the novel.  Any help appreciated.

  • Firefox creates a Documents shortcut in the taskbar when I download files

    Firefox can create a new shortcut of 'Documents' in my taskbar every time I have to download a file.
    I remove it, and then it does it again. How to stop?

    This has happened

    A few times a week

    == A month or two it is

    OK, that has helped to solve. Temporarily, I changed the setting to "back up files on" and changed the folder ' save files to "to:

    Documents C:\Users\My

    Then I reset the downloads to 'Always ask me where to save files.'

    Not sure why it creates a new folder for an option greyed out, but at least it no longer occurs.

  • PIN desktop to the taskbar shortcuts

    Here's my problem. Does anyone know how to pin shortcuts, like my computer, the taskbar on a Tablet Acer W500. I have unlock the taskbar, the way I always did on my desktop and laptop computers and tried to drag the shortcut, then drop it in the taskbar. But on the Acer Tablet, I can't drop the shortcut on the taskbar.

    It is confusing because I found a way to install Works 9 on the Tablet and when I dragged and dropped the Works 9 icon on the taskbar, it worked. But when I try to drag and drop icons such as my computer and control panel they won't PIN to the taskbar.

    So does anyone know how to get there. Thank you

  • How to open the file manager in the 'my documents' or create a shortcut that I can place on the taskbar and how to create a shortcut on the desktop

    So many steps required in Windows 7 that were not required before.  One is, I was not able to directly open the file manager to 'my documents', either by placing a shortcut on the taskbar setting enpoidsouen file manager it opens there automatically tasks.

    Also, while I am, I wish you could put a shortcut to 'my computer' on the taskbar, as in former times.  It's a nuisance to the taskbar for these choices, in part because you cannot minimize the folder - must close completely.

    Any ideas?

    Hi @jnepoore,

    Now, I'm not 100% certain, but I'm sure that the digital imaging monitor is not necessary. However it helps maintain a constant communication between the printer and the software. Take a look at what I found:

    Posted by rnfolsom

    Picardjc wrote that "Digital imaging monitor is part of the HP software that communicates with your HP printer. This program allows to read the ink levels, get an out of paper message, scan from the device to the computer and so on. Its not necessary, but it will limit the use of printers if you delete. "Understood. But for my printer HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809a, what is the purpose of having the digital imaging monitor icon in the taskbar Windows7 sp1 of the Notification area (aka system tray)? My A809a is NOT an all-in-one that includes a scanner; It is simply a very good printer. When I start to print something, if you need ink or paper, that information is displayed on the screen of my computer. So I ask again: why is the icon of monitor digital imaging on the taskbar? I clicked on at the time of this icon (I not print anything, but as usual, the printer is turned on), and nothing happened. R.N. (Roger) Folsom

    P.S., Below I'll post some other discussions (with links to their locations) of the digital imaging monitor, I discovered before finding this site on which I am writing. There are a variety of opinions on what makes the digital imaging monitor. HP Digital Imaging Monitor is for HP director system tray access. This is necessary if you want to use the buttons of all-in-one on a HP printer all in one to scan documents or transfer photos from a camera manually. Closing the icon monitor HP digital imaging in the Windows system tray can cause the HP all-in-one to lose part of its scanning features and not the connection error message. In this case, you can restore all functionality by restarting the computer or by starting the HP digital imaging monitor.

    Re: WITHDRAWAL HP Digital Imaging Monitor Systray? [Edited] 03/08/2011 14:05 - edited? 03/08/2011 14:08 Yes, it is safe to remove. In my view, it is usually in the program group under start / all programs / startup. Simply navigate under the Start button, right-click on it and delete! If it is not there, then remove it from the registry: run regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and delete it from the list in the right pane. If she is not there, then try hkey_current_user\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\run it's better than using msconfig and uncheck it. In my opinion, msconfig must always be set to Normal startup. Your printer will always print without that annoying obstructive utility called Digital Imaging Monitor. Ciao! Casey Henderson, MCP SOURCE: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Web-Printing-Software/REMOVING-HP-Digital-Imaging-Monitor-from-Systray/...

    I know that the information is specific to Windows 7, but the bottom line is, no, there is no need to run all the time. Registry keys are significantly different for XP as they are for Windows 7 while blurb does not apply. I just copied the post in its entirety for you to read through.

    Another thing to consider is uninstall the software and then download and install the base driver.

    Please let me know if this is useful, or if you have any other questions. I'm happy to do my best to help.

  • Windows Defender for add or remove programs in the taskbar, but...

    When you attempt to add or remove programs in the task bar , I get the message to turn on Windows Defender. However, I use Microsoft Security Essentials and I was told that MSE takes over and won't allow WD run. In addition, I don't see choice through MSE for add or remove programs in the taskbar. All solutions?

    I was trying to prevent a program from appearing in my taskbar. What do I need to uninstall to get there? In addition, I want to have MSE appear on the taskbar, and it isn't currently. I guess I'm trying to disable a startup program...

    RE: trying to prevent a program from appearing in my taskbar
    Can you not a RIGHT click on the program icon that is on the taskbar > click "unpin this program from the taskbar?

    RE: MSE appears in the taskbar
    Create a MSE shortcut on your desktop > drag the shortcut to the taskbar

    No, what you wrote, you don't want to disable anything of the program startup list.
    If you do, please give me the name of the program.
