  How can I change an icon for the device in Windows 7?

  In 'Control Panel\Devices and printers' I want to change the icon of a device that there are listed.

  Hi Dave Tavres

  I'm afraid to say that you would not be able to change this icon.
  This icon is provided by the hardware manufacturer, and is included in the drivers and architecture has no Windows allows to change this information.
  However, you can use the third party applications to change. Use your favorite search engine to find on the Internet.

• How to lock the desktop icons in a multiple monitor configuration

  Original title: lock the desktop icons - and display

  Working with Windows 7 Home Premium has a problem processing 2 pieces: no matter how many times I said I want the display screen appears on the monitor, the screen of the computer, every day he arbitrarily returns to the computer screen only. That creates the 2nd problem: the desktop icons that I have arranged for the largest monitor rearrange themselves to adapt to the computer screen. Is there a way I can lock the icons in this position that I used to be able to do? Or is it possible that I can keep the display to go back to the computer screen? (I'm careful to apply the instructions to display before the specified seconds elapse).

   

  Hello

  I suggest you to go through the steps mentioned in the link and the Coachman.

  On a system running Microsoft Windows 7, the desktop icons can be moved to positions at random during another monitor main screen.

• How to lock the screen/window

  I'll try to find a way to lock the screen/window so that using the touchpad do not inadvertently change screens?

  Hello

  One possibility would be to disable the clickpad function that is causing this behavior.

  You can do the following.

  Open windows control panel and on the top right, next to the display by: select "large icons".  In the new page layout, select the entry of Synaptics.

  The option, you must disable is called "Edge slips" - just click the box to remove the check mark, then click on apply and Ok to save the setting.  For an example, see the picture below.

• How can I change an icon in my taskbar in Windows Vista?

  How can I change an icon in my taskbar in Vista

  Thank you. I placed the folder on my desktop and then changed the icon. Then I moved the icon (which did NOT show the new icon - just a file photo), to the quick launch. I think I just clicked and clicked on properties and then the icon HE chose displayed, I clicked on it Ant then display many icons displayed and then I found the icon who had chosen before was in the displayed list. Then clicked on it and then apply and it worked. Without doing this way many icons display never came and I didn't and still don't know why. But with your recommendations, I was somehow able to change the icon. Thank you for your help.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community and my apologies for the late reply.

  • Have you noticed a Windows Update, the installation of the video drivers?

  See the Windows updates are installed
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/see-which-Windows-updates-are-installed

  Possible reason for this behavior:
  I suspect that a third-party application to start conflicts and it translates into changing the resolution. Once you got the correct resolution after re-installing the drivers set the computer to clean up state of startup and then check if the resolution changes. In this way, we can use the approach 50 / 50 to find contradictory application the cause.

  How to find the conflicting application:

  See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state. How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  Note: When the diagnosis is complete, don't forget to reset your computer to normal startup. Follow step 7 in the above article.

  Similar was also mentioned in the thread below; in this case, the webcam software was causing the conflict.

• I can only place icons on the left side of my desk. How can I do so I can place them anywhere.

  Question of office

  I can only place icons on the left side of my desk.  How can I do so I can place them anywhere.  The Startup icons in my taskbar, are also in the middle.  How can I move them to the left?  The crazy kids got a plug of the computer and swiched everything on accident.

  Remember a "good date" when your office was in good condition?
  If so, do a system restore. Choose this "good date" or before this as your restore point.
