• SimplePass update, icon now always made the pinned to the taskbar

  On my laptop dv6t, I let the software auto-updated to HP install what he wanted to update. After he did, an icon associated with Simplepass is pinned to the taskbar and I can't get rid of it.  Right click and select 'Unpin this program from the taskbar' do nothing.  How can I get rid of him. I want to keep the program. But don't want the icon pinned to the taskbar.

  Then, when I opened Microsoft Excel, he said that a material change has been detected and I have to re - activate. Why would this happen?  How can I keep it from happening. Is it better to just never leave HP update anything?

  I tried something in the sense of what aperez1221 suggested, and it seems to be an acceptable solution. I wasn't sure what you mean by ' unchecking the pass simple site.»  So I opend SimplePass and entered parameters.  I unchecked everything under "activate features and then tried to re - check one by one.  I have determined that only LaunchSite deactivating solves the problem and seems to leave the programme of work as it did before.  So thank you aperez1221 for pointing me in the right direction.

  I don't know what I'm missing out on by disabling LaunchSite.  This solution may not work for anyone who uses the features enabled by LaunchSite. I did not understand what are these features. Seems like QuickLaunch, which allows me to drag a finger to open a program or a web site (in a new browser window). And I can still connect to websites using my finger as well.  Thus, with only disabled LaunchSite, SimplePass plans what he did before and no longer repinned himself to the taskbar.

  I left that open for now in case someone has a solution that requires no LaunchSite, regardless of disabling that does.

• When I open a program, another icon appears in the taskbar. How can I change to make the correct icon?

  I tried to change the default program that appears when I open the .gif or .jpg files, so I made successfully by using the control panel.

  Then when I opened a PDF file (with Adobe Reader X), the icon that appears in the taskbar is my default program for .gif and .jpg files (in this case, paint).  I checked the options of the program by default under the control panel and it does not say that .pdf files will be opened by Adobe Reader if it is not the problem.

  When I check the properties of Adobe Reader X, the icon used is the appropriate icon.

  I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader software, but it still happens.  I restarted the computer.

  So why Windows 7 displays the icon of the paint when a .pdf file is opened?

  I ask here because the control panel and change the default programs is a Windows 7 problem.

  Thank you
  Keith

  Oh believe me, it would drive me crazy too.

  It's probably a long shot, because as far as I know, the taskbar should not use the shortcut icon to the start menu to choose which shows... but we will try.  Just kill this reader shortcut in the start menu and make your own (just open Adobe C:\Program 9.0\Reader and do a right click AcroRd32.exe choose "send to: desktop (create shortcut)" and then falling in your Start menu.)  Try it pin to the taskbar too and then open a PDF file maybe.
  I think I know the registry keys control this icon, but I really hesitate to recommend snooping around in it.

• How Power pin to the taskbar?

  Currently, if I want to stop, I have first to move my mouse to the upper right of the screen to bring up the bar, then click settings, then click on Power which shows a stop options, restart and sleep. Power can be pinned to the taskbar (or one of the other points in the settings)?

  There is no option to pin the power to the taskbar setting, but as a workaround, you can create a shortcut for "Shutdown" and "Restart" and PIN the shortcut to the taskbar. To create a shortcut, see the following steps:

  (a) an open space on the desktop with the right mouse button, point to new, and then click shortcut.

  (b) to create a shortcut to turn off the computer, type in ' stop/p "(sans les guillemets)."

  (c) click on 'Next', type a name for the shortcut.

  (d) click on "Finish".

  Once the shortcut created, right-click on it and select "Pin to Taskbar". You can also change the icon of the shortcut. To do this, refer to the following steps:

  (a) right-click on the shortcut and select "Properties".

  (b) under the 'Shortcut' tab, click on 'change icon '.

  (c) select the icon that you want, and then click 'Ok' to apply the changes.

  (d) click on 'Ok' to close the Properties window.

• HP Officejet 6500 E710: How to create desktop icon to launch the Scanner dialog box?

  I would like to create a desktop icon to launch the Scanner dialog box. I'm not a fan of the approach to Tile Windows.

  Under Windows, 8.1, there was a desktop icon which allow me to connect to my Officejet 6500 unit and allow the scan to computer option. Who disappeared with the upgrade of Windows 10.

  I ran the print and Scan doctor and it solved the problems. When I went to test scanning, it arises from the familiar dialog box where I could choose different settings.

  It worked perfectly. But after having closed the doctor, I could not find any place to launch the new dialogue box, outside the doctor.

  I downloaded and installed the scanning HP and Capture app. It works very well, but I rather not leaving office to launch it, or use it enough to justify the taskbar setting.

  Is it possible to create a desktop icon for the application of scanning and Capture

  or

  is there a way to create an icon to launch the dialog box scan that print and Scan Doctor uses?

  I prefer this one.

  Hello
  
  Thank you for using the HP Forums.

  Is there a way to create the shortcut to scan on your desktop. Try the following steps:

  1. open a file Explorer

  2 C: > Program Files (x 86)

  3 program Files (x 86) > HP

  4 HP > HP Officejet 6500

  5 HP Officejet 6500 > Bin

  6 bin > Scanner HP

  7. right click on the analysis of HP and "create shortcut".

  You'll get a prompt that "Windows cannot create a shortcut here.  Do you want the shortcut to be placed on the desktop instead?    Select "Yes".

  Hope that helps!

• search code pin to the taskbar

  Hello

  I am trying to pin to the taskbar in windows 7, the search box. Is this possible?

  Hope everyone has a great rest of the day * smile *.

  There is no such under Windows 7 deskbar search, because it is moved in the start menu.  At any time, you want to search, just press the Windows Logo on your keyboard, then start typing.  The result is the same as Windows Desktop Search.

  If it was useful, you can vote by clicking on the green triangle. If it solves the problem, click on propose as answer. Thank you!

• How to get Windows Explorer to pin to the taskbar

  Problem:

  When I right click on Windows Explorer to get pinned and there is no element entrance does forr it pin to the taskbar OR the StartMenu , like most of the other applications in the my system.

  I was able to do on my system to my office, so I know that this is possible.  I got it made the pinned the system now have the problem, that is up to the Microsoft has eliminated the last fixes on Saturday 21 September 12 game that wacked my entire task bar, bar side and scrogged many other aspects of my system!

  I really hope that they actually only has finally fixed the leak of security IE forever with this patch as they promised and not just Fubar-ing of many systems to give the appearance of shutter makes the run with more than one finger! (but that too can depend on which finger gets referenced as I can think that a my system seems to have understood).

  That being said, let's start by skipping the usual diatribe of suggestions of neophytes who Parrot just what is on both boards, blogs and other forums with what I remember, try to address my situation:

  • I tried to drag links "Windows Explorer" and shortened to Windows Explorer to get the fallen on the toolbar.  No go!
  • I tried all the suggestions of registry to Windows Explorer PIN to the taskbar. No go!
  • I searched the registry for any key with PIN or NOPIN on their behalf and found Nothing. Although the PIN search revealed several keys and values with pin drowned in (e.g.ping stri"," myPINing "", Snapine","OfficeVBAHelpinetlHiddenIntl_1033", nausea etc. to height of 3114 hits ad).

  But know the FUBAR occurred, does anyone have the best ideas on how to fix the problem with Windows Explorer so that I can once again pin it to my task bar and maybe my StartMenu too?

  Use search programs and files "windows explorer". When you right click on the link that there it will give you options to pin the taskbar icon or the start menu.
