  • HOW CAN I ADD MY OWN IMAGE ON THE SCREEN OF WINDOWS 8 START

    Greetings.

    Let's be clear, as clear as I can be without realizing the term Microsoft applies to this new application in Windows.

    When you click Start in Windows 8, there is an image behind the tiles. I want my own image, which is an image from my Gallery, behind the tiles.

    When you click on the charm of settings and select Customize, you are allowed to choose among 20 preloaded images, with 20 being your current desktop image. I would use a still image without making changes to my desktop.

    I can not even find the location of the file for the preloaded images! If I knew where they were stored, I could add my own image library.

    I use a similar technigue to make my wallpapers available for all users: my wallpaper screen images has just moved into the Windows\Web\Wallpaper folder.

    Similarly, I do some of my available desktop themes to all users by copying them in the Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes folder.

    I even load my own sounds in the Windows\Media folder. Thus, all users have access to the sounds I like to use.

    But I can not find the folder where are these images pre-loaded Windows 8 start... AND I don't like these preloaded images, I want to use one of my own!

    How can I change the image of Windows 8 start behind my tiles?

    This is not possible, Mr President.

    You can have transparent so that your background shows through (option 20 as you mentioned it).

    Other components don't cry pictures. They are programming that built graphical objects, a lot as well as additional programming that prompts them to move when you scroll for artistic effect and provide options to change the colors of this product graphic objects programmatically.

    But there is no 'image' to display or replace, because none of those are actually pictures at all.

    I'm sorry.

    Hello...
    How to create a toolbar of shortcuts on the desktop

    Unfortunately, this feature is no longer available with Windows 7. I was surprised myself so since Vista was fine with it, but in Windows 7, we all need to just get used to using the feature of the taskbar QuickLaunch. You can pin any icon you want in the taskbar and use it to your quick launch of this program.

  • Shortcut on the desktop for Windows Defender

    Hello. I have Windows 7 starter on my netbook and want to create a shortcut on the desktop for Windows Defender. However, it does not appear as a program in the start menu and the option to display the control panel more big or small icons is greyed out (i.e., not available in starter edition), I don't see the program on the control panel or the other. The only way I can get to it is to type in 'Defender' in the search field in the start menu or the search field on the control panel. Although one of these actions will locate Windows Defender, they do not provide me the ability to create a shortcut for the application. I tried searching in Program Files on the C drive and found him, but did not know which file right-click on the folder to create a shortcut file. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it.

    Second, Windows Defender is updated analysis scheduled around 02:00 every morning, but my computer isn't on then, I expect to do a scan automatically the next day when I turned the computer back on. He did not do that and always displays the last analysis as being the manual I did the day before. Is it possible to get auto-start if it misses its slot 02,00 regular?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Thank you both for responding: I did click right and do drag the thing like that seemed simpler and it worked: thank you. Are you able to let me know how to get the Defender to make an auto scan when I turn on the computer if it misses its slot 02,00?

    Thank you.

  • How can I put a GMail shortcut on my desktop?

    I'm trying to put a shortcut to Gmail on my desktop and can not find the place where or how to do it. Any ideas?

    https://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/creating+a+desktop+shortcut+to+a+Web+page

    You can drag the favorite icon on the left end of the address bar on the desktop to create a shortcut.
    If you create an internet shortcut in this way this shortcut then gets the icon of the default browser.
    If you want a different icon (favicon) then you must assign you this icon for the shortcut on the desktop (right click: properties).
    You can usually get the favorite icon if you add 'favicon.ico' to the main area of a website (for example http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display favorite icon in a tab and save this image to a folder or see if you can find it in "tools > Page Info > media.
