I can't 2 icons in my taskbar windows active window?

Are there Windows gods out there who can tell me how I can get more than 2 icons window active in my windows task bar? When I have 3, 4, 5, + active Windows Open the stupid task bar opens a UP/DOWN arrow I click on [1, 2] view [3, 4] [5, 6] etc. This is VERY STUPID, because my taskbar has about 6 1/2 inches of unused task display area that could EASILY show about 13 ICONS MORE. So please, if there is ALL WAY to display more than 2 icons on the active window at the same time without having to scroll up and down I really want to know how to set up this way.

Hello

Right-click your taskbar, and then unlock it.

You can now see where the parts of the taskbar are defined. You can resize the taskbar by dragging the edge, move it by dragging it to any edge of the screen you want and you can drag to resize the toolbar areas.

When you are finished customizing, right click and lock again to stop accidental tampering.

Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

  • Icons in the taskbar Windows 7 (notifications) does not not at the start. [SOLVED]

    Question: It started a few days ago, I'm not sure what has changed (no updates to anything und do not clean my comp so far here). When starting, but not load my system tray icons/notice. There is a select statement 3 charge that are supposed to, but there should be more (like volume, wifi, (I have disabled power), etc.) There is 1 which is not supposed to because it is hidden completely.

    3 loading (assumed):

    ~ Intelligent ram (advanced care system)

    ~OpenOffice.org Quickstarter

    ~ Avast icon

    1 who is responsible (not not supposed to):

    ~ Synaptics Pointing Device (touchpad for laptop, I have the touchpad disabled permanently, so I completely hidden icon (no notifications).

    Icons that are supposed to load:

    Shown (visible in the status bar)

    ~ Intelligent ram (advanced care system)

    ~ Connection/Wifi signal strength

    ~ Volume

    Hidden, but display notifications (accessed via popup "Show hidden icons" arrow)

    ~OpenOffice.org Quickstarter

    ~ Avast icon

    ~ Action Center (flag)

    (I think there's one more, but I don't remember.) It could have been 'Power', which I think, but it is completely hidden, as in the system icon is disabled)

    What is already:

    ~Notifications/what watch is already very well tuned for my taste. I just got set to "Show icon and notifications", stuff the value "notifications only." (Ergo, it resides in my region 'Show hidden icons' through arrow, but is not visible otherwise.) Und stuff put not show at all.)

    ~ Windows is up to date.

    ~ Drivers are all up to date.

    ~ System is cleaned (Spyware, Malware, Antivirus, General Computer Care) a few times a week, has been cleaned out of turn, in order to help solve.

    ~ Regardless of the icon is not displayed, programs, still work properly.

    What has been tried:

    ~ To reboot first, simple. Nothing.

    ~ Searched online, find the regedit, removed IconStreams und PastIconStream in the registry, kill explorer.exe, run explorer.exe. Voila, my icons were back. Except for some I had to modify the settings on back to what I wanted. That was supposed to be the end of it. ... It wasn't. Model began the next day, icons were not loading right. The same 3 icons has charge. Tried the regedit with a reboot... Nothing helps.

    ~ I tried Regedit und journal/off voltage. Zip, they go back to does not properly.

    So, I wonder why the regedit isn't sticking. Personally, I don't find yet, everything which would be somehow in conflict with this, especially since the wifi turns on automatically does not show in the taskbar, or volume. Everything seems to work fine, so I don't understand why some of them are not loading. The only way I know to make the back is with regedit. But in doing so each time I start my computer is pretty boring.

    Search for a solution: What can I do to remedy this? Everything I looked at gives me "update drivers, windows update, virus/malware research, make regedit (mentioned above), log off / on, restart" that have been tried.

    Thanks in advance.

    UPDATE *.

    Alrighty, I tried to start in safe mode, a boot minimum then tried und tool File Checker system, nothing that was of any help either.

    So, as a last ditch effort... I did a startup und repair selected a Restore Point.

    Solution: My icons in system tray restored to a previous state until I started having problems, are evidence of as it should.

    UPDATE *.

    Obviously, I have solved my problem, but I have to mark an answer for them to consider that it solved und I can not put my own answer to select. So I chose the one who has not fixed it, but would probably be someone elses.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    This could be due to several reasons, including missing or corrupted file system. I really appreciate the efforts made to try to resolve the problem.  We will try these steps and check to see if they help.

    Method 1: Method 1: Start the computer Safe Mode and check if the problem persists. If the problem does not persist in safemode, turn on your computer in a clean boot state and check.

    Step 1: Start the computer in Safe Mode

    Safe mode is an option of troubleshooting for Windows that starts your computer in a limited State. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. The words Safe Mode appear in the corners of your monitor to identify which Windows mode you are using.

    Please refer to: start your computer in safe mode

    Step 2: Perform a clean boot in order to avoid any conflict of third party software.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Place your system in the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Note: see 'How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting' to reset the computer starts normally after troubleshooting.

    Method 2: Run the System File Checker tool

    System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.

    To do this, click Start, type command or cmd prompt in the Search box, right click invite, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

    At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    Note: Do not close the command prompt window until the audit is completed 100%. The results of the analysis will be posted when this process is complete.

  • Firefox icons in the taskbar Windows 7

    I have a FF icon in the Windows 7 taskbar. When I click on it, a second icon appears when the homepage is open. Following clicks on the first icon opens the tabs that appear in the second icon. Also if I open a new tab (using the '+' or via a bookmark). The first icon does not show the preview of open tabs - second icon again.
    It didn't happen in FF9

  • Can you reduce the icons to the taskbar in Windows 7?

    I install my programs preferred on a new computer, put it on the taskbar, and it's fill to the top.

    I want to make each smaller icon/tile - that is to say, each a little more thin.  In terms of width, it seems that the icon itself occupies about half the space.  I would like to get rid of some of the lost space.

    I already use small icons.

    You can use smaller icons. The taskbar right click and choose Properties. Put a check mark in the box next to small icons.

  • How can I add the weather icon to the taskbar to be next to the time?

    Try as I might, I can't figure this out.  I would like to add the weather icon to the taskbar.  I want it to be next to the time, so it is always displayed.  How can I do this?  I also want to remove some of the icons that appear in the part of the notification of the taskbar.  Yet once, I can't do it.

    To add items to the taskbar in Windows XP, do one click right, choose Properties, select "Show quick launch", then OK. Now you can add existing shortcuts to the quick launch area (which is pretty much a location allows you to customize your own shortcuts), or you can right click on the quick launch are to open its 'file', then create new shortcuts to here (right click-> new-> shortcut).

    To remove the part of the taskbar notification icons: If you are indeed referring to the notification area near the clock, try right-clicking on the icon and look for an option to delete/remove/disable. Not all icons will have such an option. Additional details on the notification in Windows XP bar can be found here. If you are actually referring to quick launch (next), and then activate it as I've described in the paragraph above, then you should be able with the right button and then remove them.

    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.

    [Moved from comments]

    There are some patches for the issue that you siding, but most of them requires registry changes that I do not say that they can cause several other problems. I recommend that you perform a system restore.

    There are two ways to perform the system restore:

    Menu start open, click Run and type cmd to open the command prompt.

    Type CD... to book only c:\.

    Type windows CD then CD System32, and then restore.

    After once, you'll find yourself in c:\ windows\system32\restore >

    Type restrui.exe press ENTER.

    Once the system restore the open window then click on next to select any available restore point.

    This process takes a few minutes to do the restore and please make sure that once this process has begun there wont be reversible and or you will lose all personal data.

    Another way to perform the system restore is to open the safe mode by clicking on F8 at startup and check the option of safe mode, then still a dialog box opens to ask the system restore and then follow the steps above.
