How to stop windows that open up behind the taskbar and sidebar

I was wondering if there was a way to stop windows from behind the taskbar and sidebar of Vista SP2, I currently have my taskbar on the right side on the same width as my sidebar, located on the left side of the screen. Both have been set to keep above other windows. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Even if it meant having the image of the shrunken desktop so it fit perfectly into the space remaining.

Also, is it possible to have a mobile wallpaper?

Oddities of the operating system, I think. Having the bar spots on the side at least gives you a chance to save a program window. I run the taskbar double wide at the top, and some programs insist on opening umderneath it. I have to resize the task bar if I want to be able to move the window anywhare. Also happens in Win 7...

DreamScene animated backgrounds were for Vista Ultimate only, but Stardock has called the Scapes desktop that will run on other versions of Vista, but you must pay for it.

  • How to stop Windows 7 opening 'imported photos and videos' after each scan an image?

    I'm scanning multiple images and after EACH scan, Win7 opens a new window "Imported pictures and videos", despite the window being open 20 times already...

    In the import dialog box, deselection 'Open Windows Explorer after import' has no effect.  After each import, a Windows Explorer window appears showing me that the directory of the file has been imported to (i.e. "imported photos and videos").  Worse still, this happens even if another this window is already open - so if (for example), I scan 10 pictures, I have 10 windows explore open all showing this same directory (unless I close them I will).

    It's boring, clutters the taskbar and takes expire have to close each window - how are we going to stop Win 7 "Imported photos and videos" opening after each scan?

    Hello Carl,

    You attempted to change the option to "Open the Windows Explorer after import" while connected as another user on the computer to see if the problem persists?
    Also, have you tried to scan using a different computer to see if we can isolate the problem to a machine?
    If you have checked these things and the behavior has not changed, I suggest to leave feedback for the Windows team at this link as an option behaves as expected:

  • 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.

    I do not have a cure, but I have a suggestion for you:

    Right- drag the file or folder. I prefer to do it this way because
    When you release, you get invited to know if you want to copy, move,
    or create a shortcut. I do not remember when it arrives
    moved and when it is copied, and doing it this way takes away that
    the burden of memory.

    Hi Snyder22,

    I understand how frustrating it can be to see ongoing ads on your computer. I have an article for you with information about the stop of this behavior:

    Stop the cAds in Safari - Apple Support

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT203987

    The behavior you describe can be better attributed to adware, referred to in this section of the article mentioned above:

    If you could have the adware installed on your Mac.

    If the pop-ups still on your Mac, you might inadvertently downloaded and installed adware (advertising-taking software supported). Some software that you download from some third-party download sites can include the software you want and the adware.

    If you think you have Adware on your Mac, update to the latest version of OS X El Capitan. If your Mac already has the latest version of El Capitan, restart it. El Capitan removes adware only when connecting. If you still see the advertising on your Mac, Contact Apple.

    Be vigilant and thank you for visiting the communities of Apple Support.

    If you have a windows that open upwards, any window, then more than likely, it is in your startup folder.  Click the Start button, all programs, startup and see if there is a shortcut to your folder of libraries in there, if so, do a right-click and delete it.  That should address this for you.
