HP Pavilion: icons

How to minimize the icons on my desktop

Bornis

Hello;

Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

I read your post on reducing the desktop icons and wanted to help.

Seriously, this is one of the FIRST things I do whenever I install a machine - I HATE the great icons!

So, follow these steps: place the cursor of your mouse on the desktop, press the CTRL key on the keyboard and at the same time, the mouse wheel.  Note that the icons to expand and collapse, according to management, the scroll wheel you.

Good luck

    I have a HP laptop pavilion dv6 and network options and volume are shaded out, when I go to the option to add them to the tray at the bottom right of my screen.

  • is it possible to restore the shortcut icons on the desktop on entrtainment Pavilion dv5?

    Is there to restore the shortcut icons on the desktop on a computer pavilion laptop dv5 with widows 7?  I don't know with certainty what I did - I am 75 with an earthquake - but maybe a uncontrolled double click right while on the desktop.

    In any case, all the desktop icons disappeared in one shot!

    I have not rebooted - no joy!

    Try the system restore utility. Which should return just as you wish.

    Here is the link on how to run the system restore if you have never done before.

  • Pavilion Elite HPE-wireless icon

    Now, I have a Pavilion Elite HPE 577c and can not find information about the controls on the front of the machine.  There is a small, blue antenna icon, lit in the upper right... Does this mean, it SENDS a wireless signal?  Alternatively, this means that it is able to detect and use a wireless signal?  It's amazing to me that HP does not include a diagram of the features on the FRONT of the machine!  Can someone tell me what is this icon?

  • HP Pavilion DV6: Wireless in the mobility settings icon disappeared

    Normally, I do not use my wireless but connect via cable.  I used it in the past but not recently.  I have upgraded from the computer to Windows 10 about a month ago, but did not check to see if the wireless worked before I upgraded so I don't know if the upgrade has caused my problem or other somethng

    The wireless won't tun on.  It lights up normally by going to the Windows Mobility Center panel.selecting control and then clicking on an icon of HP.  I tried to do, but it would not turn.  I tried different patches and the icon disappeared.
    The HP icon, when it was there said something like "added by HP.  I'm sure this icon and his dissapearance is my problem.  However, I find anywhere where I can download a patch or app that will add this icon back in.

    My motto is a Qualcomm Athros AR5009

    I saw the forum for some possible and tried fixes without success.  I checked the BIOS and also reinstalled thedriver for the currency.  I also downloaded a different driver from the HP site.  Nothing seemed to work, or bring back the missing icon.

    Glad to hear Windows 10 clean install fixed.  Thanks for sharing your experience.

  • Pavilion 23-h017c: The Key/icon of Windows do not work

    Recently, my warranty has expired and I am now unable to open Windows from my Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 5000 (the key between CTRL and ALT on the left) or when I click on the Windows icon located in the lower left corner of my screen.  When I click on the button, nothing happens at all.  When I try to click the icon, the icon turns red, then nothing else happens.  I used to use it to shut down my computer whenever I was using, but now I have to right click the icon to do this.  I could also click this icon and be able to examine all the apps that were available for my computer from the app store.  I can't do that either.  I don't know even where to get the applications now.

    Any help that you can provide to force me to be able to use this icon, as it was originally designed would be appreciated.

    Respectfully,.

  • Pavilion p7: the desktop icons disappeared

    When I started my pc this morning I founf that all my desktop icons disappeared

    Hmm, that's strange. I wonder if you might have accidentally switched to Tablet mode, where the desktop icons would not display. See switch between Mode desktop and Tablet (Windows 10).

    If this does not work, try to install the Windows updates and reboot your computer. I would also like to run a virus scan. Good luck!

  • Pavilion P6207c: Hp mediasmart empty icon in the taskbar and icon missing in hp dock

    I restarted my computer and my HP Mediasmart icon in the taskbar is empty, when I click on it windows says it can't open because that its been moved, renamed or deleted. But the show task up if I right click on it like watch a dvd, listen to mp3's, see, modify or download photos, see modify or download videos. (all links in the task too much work) Then trying to understand the problem, that I thought I could basically icon/link to pull a bit of my HP Dock in the taskbar hoping it would be duplicate and appear in the taskbar. But to the contrary after leaving the dock and release the mouse button, it disappeared. How do I trouble the white icon and pick up the other icon in the dock? I pulled the HP Mediasmart icon directory .exe file and it is stuck in the dock, but it works the same. The original had an arrow below and if I clicked it, a drop-down list with all tasks would come down. With that I pulled from the directory that I have to click on it and then a new bar appears with different icons for each task.

    Well I solved the problem with the taskbar, I downloaded the hp mediasmart smartmenu, went into the directory and PIN to the taskbar. But I still can't one of the docking station will work as before.

    @enimen2 ,

    Hi and thanks again for the rear display.  If you can do it is no longer a restoration following options is a complete recovery of the system, return to the original configuration.  You want to back up all your information before you do.  Once it starts it will wipe your system clean.

    Here is a link that will help you to recovery.
