To add a shortcut to IE, copy another shortened (to leave office or start any program menu or create one by going to the internet explore program iexplore.exe file and right-click on it and click send to and click on the shortcut on the desktop).  Then simply drag this shortcut in the Quick Launch bar and it will be there again.

    How to remove the download button located next to my home button?

    You can use customization feature to move it to a less irritating location. I suggest the bar the module if you keep this poster.

    Start customizing with one of these, and then drag the arrow to a new location, or in the dialog box to remove all the bars:

    • Right click on a zone empty of the tab bar > customize
    • Press the Alt key > menu view > toolbars > customize

    You will notice that some combined controls separate in the view to customize. If you put something between them, they will not be able to recombine. (For example, if you separate stop and reload or put something between front/rear and area URL.)

  • How to remove the unwanted icons in the toolbar next to the Start button?

    • I have two of these lines has never asked for them. What are they and can you help me to get rid of them please

    * original title - I have unwanted icons in my toolbar next to the Start button, how can I get rid of them please *.

    Hi Pauline,

    First of all, let's make sure that you have only the taskbar at the bottom and not additional toolbars.  Right-click on the Start button and click on properties.  Go to the tab bar tasks and do not forget to uncheck lock the taskbar if it is checked and click on apply.  Go to the tab tool bars.  Make sure that nothing is checked, unless you want the quick launch icons to show. This is normally what appears next to the start menu and is a quick way to see and start programs of your choice - you can add or remove icons at your convenience as follows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Add-or-remove-programs-on-the-Quick-Launch-toolbar.  If that's what you want to see (and which resembles what you want to get rid of), uncheck this box as well.  Click OK and the quick launch icons should be gone (but have been recorded and can be added by simply re - check the box).  Personally, I find them very useful, but if you don't them want, then you can remove them as described above - it's entirely your choice.

    Secondly, you say that it is in two rows.  This is probably because of two bars of additional tools, either because the taskbar has been extended to two lines instead of one.  If it is still two rows, then if you deleted all the toolbars, it is because the taskbar are expanded.  Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar and make sure Lock the taskbar are not checked - if so, uncheck the box.  Now hover your mouse on the top edge of the taskbar until it turns into a line with an arrowhead at each end and click the left mouse button and drag the taskbar to the bottom until it comes only one line (or up if you want to make three or more lines - your choice).  Release the mouse button and that will be your new taskbar.  You can lock it if you like by checking the lock the taskbar (as described above to unlock the taskbar - just click and a check mark will appear to indicate that it is locked) - this is for you.  Personally, I keep it unlocked so I can change more quickly - but it's a personal choice that everyone else does.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    Here's a few shortcuts "pinned" to the taskbar.  Either drag a shortcut to the bar of tasks or right-click on a shortcut and select "Pin to Taskbar."  If you do not have a shortcut on your desktop for a particular program, find the exe file (for example, C:\Program Files (x 86) \Microsoft Office\Office14\Winword.exe) and right click and select "Pin to the taskbar.

  • Satellite P300 - blinking icon to the Start button and the gel

    My high school daughter years showed me his homework in WORD was starting to show different symbols flashing all the time on the page. I suggested she reboot Satellite P300 - 01, and since then, we have not been able to go beyond the base of office.
    The Start button (or office) flashes continuously and we cannot enter in all programs at all.
    I'm very grateful for any assistance.

    The P300 is only 2 months old.

    Hello

    Believe me, it is really not easy to say what is happening with this laptop. as a first step, you can try to start Notepad using F8 and enter safe mode.

    If these will be works, start System Restore utility and attempt to restore the operating system on time earlier. Perhaps one day before all this began. I hope that you will be able to use it again as before.

    If this isn't the case, please let us know.

    Hello!

    I had a somewhat similar to this problem and that's what I tried.

    He temporarily stabilized my problem but I have a serious type of divorce

    problems with my beloved once Windows 7. However, in your case, it may be

    the solution.

    This is the procedure:

    (1) power on your PC or laptop

    (2) when he started, start pressing and releasing the F8 key till you get the windows

    Fix the Page (I don't remember the exact name, but it's a screen with many options).

    (3) among the options is "Last known good Configuration", click it. See if that fixes the problem.

    (4) If this does not work, then you need to try other options, namely:

    (A) the Startup Repair

    (B) the system restore

    (C) verification of memory

    (D) command prompt:

    (The last option would have been a godsend, but it does not work in the console command prompt.)

    I'll tell you about it...)

    If all the above methods fail, try this method (it worked for me temporarily). This method is an option only when you

    are able to access the above page and when you have administrator privileges. Then, when you're on the screen above, you will see these options:

    Safe mode

    Safe mode with network

    Choose the second option. If all goes well, you will be at the level of the office. On the desktop, right click the command prompt icon. If you don't have a shortcut cmd, no problem. Press start and type cmd or command. Right click on cmd and then click "Run as Administrator".

    * Now in the command console, type chkdsk/f/r (the space after the chkdsk command is optional). You may get a message that you can schedule chkdsk at the next restart, treatment is (Yes).

    Then, in the same type of console sfc/scannow. If all goes well, it will rectify errors of all the files on your system.

    Note: If you please ensure that your battery is 100 pc loaded before you try it. or better yet, let him charge while you do this.

    Keep me posted.

    All the best!
