Icon for Windows 8.1 that allows me to see all of the programs and the previous documents, computer etc.
On my Windows 7, there is an icon in the lower left corner which is round and has 4 flags inside. Red, green, blue and yellow. When I click on this icon, I see my computer, all programs, music, Control Panel documents and I can then click on one of those to see exactly what I want. Is this icon on 8.1 and if so how can I find? If this isn't the case, which has taken its place?
Hello Clint01,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.
I understand that you have moved to Windows 8.1 and are curious to know where is the Start button. There has been major changes to the Windows operating system, and the location and the function of the Start button has changed. I provided you a document of teak of Yahoo I found makes a very good job of explaining what has happened and what has taken its place in the way of the Start button. The article is How to recover the real Start Menu in Windows 8 or 8.1 , and I think it will answer your question to your satisfaction.
I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting this question on the Forums of HP. Have a great day!

My form has a section (subform) on top that is always open and then underneath it is dynamic and I want some subforms and sections to open based on users to input. I use action Builder to open the screen and have all the fields that are hidden, but I have too much subforms and must hide individually all subforms. Is there a code that allows you to hide all fields for me when the form opens, and then I can use action Builder to open just what I need based on a drop-down list button or radio?
Thank you!
Hello
Using LockAllFields of Paul's example, you could place the JavaScript code within the root node docReady event (normally 'form1').
Please note that the last line is the presence of one of the subforms to visible return. Let's call it ShowThisSubform.
// Declare some variables var allChildElements; var intNumElements; var currentElement; var j; // Get all the child nodes of the parent element (the root node/"form1") allChildElements = this.nodes; // "this" will use the element where the script is placed //Total number of element in the object intNumElements = allChildElements.length; // Loop through all the child elements for (j=0; j< intNumElements; j++) { currentElement = allChildElements.item(j); // If the element is a subform we'll hide it if (allChildElements.item(j).className == "subform") { allChildElements.item(j).presence = "hidden"; } } // Show one of the subforms ShowThisSubform.presence = "visible";

Icon for Windows Media Player in the taskbar
I changed the icon of the shortcut of Windows Media Player. When I open Windows Media Player, I would like the icon in the taskbar to be the same icon for the shortcut. How can I accomplish this?
Windows 10.
As you can see in the video, I followed the 'instructions' perfectly exactly, but clicking on the newly pinned icon translates into an 'extra' icon (the icon of Windows Media Player). Of course, the pinned custom icon remains, of course, but another appears. And it happens the same on all operating systems that allow pinning to taskbar (7, 8, 8.1 and 10.) If you can show otherwise I'll PayPal payment for your trouble.
https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=pyAp__HIjLA&feature=youtu.beHere are the exact same steps in Windows 7 and 8.0. I showed more top 10. I would like to know if you want in addition to the 8.1. They are all identical.

I bought two Lightroom... One for Mac and one for Windows but Mac gives me problem... it happened in judgment and now it won't open upwards - and how that I associate my Mac purchase at a monthly payment as my Windows plan? Its a plan of photography by Adobe (including lightroom and photoshop)
Hi Robertc70810949,
It is a digression of your technical question, but you haven't purchased two separate subscriptions for creative cloud? You are probably aware of this, but just in case you're not, a single Plan of creative photography cloud allows installation and activation on two computers. These computers can be two Macs, two windows, or one of each. See Adobe Creative Cloud FAQ for more information. Of course, you can have another reason to buy multiple subscriptions, but I wanted to clarify in case you can save yourself a little money.
Kind regards

We need a replacement for Windows Home Server that does not cost $700
We need a replacement for windows home server that does not cost as much as a PC. 2011 is not really available and 2008 has compatibility problems, because it is based on XP and Server 2003.

How devil my touchpad - done before, but if the work done on the laptop that allowed him. When I go to devices and mouse and pointer Manager
Hello AndreauLuty,
It will be different depending on the manufacturer of the computer that you have. Go to the control panel and go to the mouse option. On some computers, there is a tab for the Touchpad and you can turn it off from there.
See the thread below the TechNet that describes how to disable the touchpad.
