• Customize the icons of folders on the desktop

  I'm trying to customize the folder on the desktop icons and I know well the steps. Until today, I was able to instantly change the after clicking 'apply '. Today, I noticed that the icon will not change unless I restart the pc. However, when I repeat the steps, the 'Customize' tab shows the image of the newly selected icon.  Is this something new? If this isn't the normal course, how can I solve have changed instantly icons?

  Thank you

  DS

  If you have tried to change the shortcut icon on the desktop, by parameters change icon, sometimes do it 2 - 3 times before that change selected icon.
  If this does not work, you can try changing the addition of your account under the tabs for security and parameters.
  If this is a common problem, you can change the security for the folder Desktop (C:\Users\Your account-utilisateur\Bureau), same procedure, parameters and security, add your account with full rights to the folder.
  If dinner you can use advanced security features, change of ownership, to your account and then add the account under approval. If possible change prior to the same owner or administrators.

  NB. Version not English this name for the tabs are perhaps not leave right.
  It worked in my case.
  Instead I lost my shortcuts, and remains mesh around in the corner, so I have to get through the annual versions and rearrange them. Quit often.

  Hi Karl,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  It appears from the description of the problem you are facing problems with shortcuts under Windows 7.

  This can happen if the resolution of the problems of maintaining the system detects the shortcuts as incorrect.

  The resolution of the problems of maintaining the system performs a weekly maintenance of the operating system. The resolution of the problems of Maintenance of the system automatically solves problems or reports problems through the Action Center. When there are more than four shortcuts broken on the desktop, the resolution of the problems of Maintenance of the system automatically deletes all shortcuts broken from the desktop.

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will definitely help you with this.

• How can we separate "Icons and text" of the browser control buttons (back, forward, etc.) since the icons on the toolbar of the add-on?

  With us, it is not a problem. I don't know why it's different here at work - even editing, same settings (as far as I know).
  Windows Vista
  Firefox 7.0.1
  Status 4 Evar installed to activate the add-on bar in a status bar

  I have a NoScript module icon in the corner, which works very well. If I add a GreaseMonkey icon in the menu customize, "Icon and the text" is displayed for this icon as the icon and text browser controls (home, stop, etc.). Other icons the module show icon and the text (S4E, for example). NoScript is the only one I've found so far that collapses down to just an icon.

  I like this leads to the bar having a higher status (add-on). Basically what I want is for only the icon is displayed in the State (toolbar Add on), while keeping icons and text in the browser controls. My current solution is simply to remove the other icons of the add-on - it from the status bar (add-on), but which removes the ease of turning on/off and setting options.

  Please tell me if I can provide you with another thing and thanks for your help.

  Edit: I have some screenshots to show what I mean.
  desired behavior
  problem when the icon is added

  I tried, and while it does not remove the text, buttons retain their width, collapses don't not down icons. I was able to get exactly the effect I want to by changing the setting in the DOM, as stated in my post above, but which only lasted as long as the session and returned to the way it was before, when I restarted Firefox.

  After a few tries, I finally joined the userChrome following tweaks. This tweak sets the buttons didn't use any text, be limited to 20 pixels of width, and, if a drop-down list arrow is present, to hide that. Greasemonkey uses a drop-down list item separated so it must be hidden specifically.

  #addon-bar .toolbarbutton-text { display:none !important; }
  /*The following work for most of my icons except Greasemonkey*/
  #addon-bar .toolbarbutton-menu-dropmarker { display: none !important; }
  #addon-bar .toolbarbutton-1 { min-width:20px !important; }
  /*The following are specific to greasemonkey*/
  #addon-bar .toolbarbutton-menubutton-button { min-width:20px !important; }

  Hello

  I just got a laptop with windows 7 on it and I want to connect to my other PC for it, they are on the same network through a router. the PC can see and access the laptop without asking for a user name and password but the laptop cannot access the PC because it asks me a username and password that I don't know.

  Hello
  Maybe this can help.

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .
