How can I move the 'show desktop' button on the taskbar?

I want to put the 'show all desktop' or the "Hide windows" button on the left side of the taskbar, not the right. Is this possible? If not, is there a workaround solution, such as the creation of a shortcut button?

Hello

The new button show desktop can not be moved.

You can still use the old button display the style Office and place it next to the Start button. The best way to implement this is to restore the old Quick Launch toolbar.

See the thread next where you will find the instructions to achieve this.

    How can I move the button reload of the page in firefox OSX for next to the back button where it was before I updated.
    I know there is an addon for windows Classic theme, but I need a fix for osx... its very frustrating when you update and things like this change and can be customized to the way we are used to using the browser. his counter intuitive to have the page button refresh so far from the back and home buttons.

    never mind, I found the preferences in the addon manager... Thanks again!

    Windows Vista - How can I move the buttons in the taskbar to the left side of the taskbar? Someone has used my computer and now they are on the right side you can see 2 programs at once. I want that they start on the left and run through the whole (not just two value windows) task bar so I can see all and switch between them by clicking on them.

    Right-click on the taskbar and unlock it. There will be low vertical bars between the sections of the taskbar. Place the cursor on one and drag it to the left. You have to play a little, but you will get it.

  • Gmail button (in internet explorer) keeps having moved to the right in my taskbar when I wasn't staying on the left (that's why I first open). How can I get the taskbar buttons to stop randomly to reorganize and stay in order?

    Gmail button (in internet explorer) keeps having moved to the right in my taskbar when I want to keep it on the left (that's why I first open).  How can I get the taskbar buttons to stop randomly to reorganize and stay in order?  I'm talking about the buttons on list of my open applications and documents in Windows Vista.  The bar tasks are "locked", but the button of the window open with gmail in internet explore reappears suddenly in the good moments apparently random.

    It is in the middle part of the taskbar (what I found online so far is on the start menu, the quick launch area or area/system tray of notification, the location of the taskbar in full, either about grouping taskbar - I disabled because I would like to separate).  Can anyone help?  I don't understand why this is happening (or why microsoft would never do).

    Lock the taskbar that it prevents to be moved elsewhere on the office and maintains the different sections where they are - it does not block the tabs showing what is open where they were when they were opened.  There is no control for this function.  Maybe if you uncheck similar taskbar buttons group it will help, but I honestly don't know (and fear he won't make any difference - it may even make things worse).  This also happens to me and I was unable to find an answer.  I think that there are more than just random, but I can't telll you why he moves the legs periodically (sometimes it works fine all day and other days it happens almost immediately).  But still, there is no control for this function, so there is no way to tell him to keep a specific order or to lock an established order, once it has been created.  I suspect that it happens because the notification area icons appear and hide and new programs open and close and which changes the amount of space available and so he rearranges things so that they match and apparently does not always consider the original sequence in which the elements have been added.  Maybe if you remove the Quick Launch toolbar and then add again, the order will reset (but that I know not - probably not in the original sequence, which I doubt is logged nowhere - it did not work when I tried it).

    Unfortunately, I don't have a solution to this problem (and I spend a little time looking for even before myselff posed the question) and do not believe that there is a.  It is also unfortunate that you can't move them so they can be put back in the right order if they change.  I don't think that there is nothing wrong with your system or that it is something that can be repaired or fixed - it's just the way it is and we just have to live with it.  I don't know any 3rd party software that controls the order of tabs open in the taskbar program (but you can check out Bing, Gooogle,www.tucows.comand www.download.com to see if I'm wrong on this - here n "t all when I looked trying to solve this problem for my own system).

    I'm sorry it wasn't what you wanted to hear, but it's like that.  I don't know if it's different in Windows 7.

    Good luck!

  • How can I move the image to the right about a half inch to fill the screen properly

    How can I move the screen picture to the right, about half a ince to fill the scree properly and allow a full view of the icons?

    The problem is with the settings of your monitor. One of the buttons on the front of your monitor will take you in the settings of your monitor. Select the option which moves the video horizontally, use the arrow keys to move the right way and press the settings button to exit. Should be pretty simple.

  • How can I get the taskbar to show when I want to use?

    In many programs, the taskbar disappears from the bottom of the screen.  Sometimes I need to use an icon that sits on the bar spots.  How can I get the taskbar to show when I want to use an icon on this subject?

    What are 'many programs' to make it happen?  If you are using "full screen", you must leave this mode, usually by pressing F11 or ESC key.

    Unless you are referring to a mode "full screen" programs...

    How can I move the vi FrontPanel view programmatically?

    I guess that there are several parameters of similar sounding to change external 'size' and 'position' of the window of the façade.  But I can't seem to find one for its internal position - that is, the position within the façade that you change when you use the scroll bars on the side of her.  Where is it?

    How about properties VI, façade-> components []-> origin?

    How can I move the outlook express emails from an XP PC to an another XP PC that has the same e-mail address without overwriting existing messages on this second PC?

    I need to group together all messages from e-mail in a PC and to retire the first PC.

    This could be problematic. I guess or OE is over? This would make it easy.
     
    One thing you could do requires some manual work, but much less removal of dupes. For example, the Inbox. In the machine, you are going to scrap, create a new folder and move all messages in your Inbox to it. After you import on the other machine, you can drag the messages you need this folder in the Inbox, and then remove the user created the folder.
     
    And then there are tools to remove the dupes. This one for example.
