Lack the "Switch between Windows" button in my Quick Launch toolbar

From: Daz 150969

I don't have the button tab in the taskbar in order to operate the Aero of the computer part. My card under windows is 5.9. I can run aero if one press tab, ctrl and windows key and it work very well, but I think that there should be a button on the tab in the taskbar?

From: Andrew McLaren

The "Switch between Windows" button in the toolbar quick launch is enabled by a file called "Window Switcher.lnk" in your Quick Launch folder. If this file is missing, the icon does not appear in the Quick Launch toolbar.

You are probably missing this file and need to replace it.

You can get a copy of the original file here:

"C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Window Switcher.lnk"

This place is normally hidden in Explorer (you won't see it).

To put it on your own toolbar quick launch, go to a command prompt and enter these commands (replace "" with your real username, of course!  :-) -

C:\>CD C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

C:\Users\launch \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick > copy "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Window Switcher.lnk.

You should see a "1 file (s) copied" message when the file is copied successfully. Then type "exit" to exit the command prompt.

The "Switch between Windows" icon now needs re - appear in your quick launch menu.

It will be useful,

    Here are the instructions for the program shortcut "switch between windows" returned the fell on the Quick Launch toolbar:

    First of all, make sure you that you must show hidden files and folders active. Here's how:

    Go to: Start/Control Panel folder Options/configuration and select the 'view' tab select "Show hidden folders and files under the section files and folders hidden from advanced settings".

    Then you can get the file from quicklaunch default section. This location of file is here:

    How to switch between windows 10 & OS on mac pro book

    You install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant or using a virtual machine, Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.

    If the Boot Camp Assistant served as you switch between Windows and OSX in shutdown and restart the computer while pressing the option key. When the Boot Manager appears you choose the operating system you want to start. More info here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

    If you have installed Windows on a virtual machine, you start the virtual machine in OSX and select Windows. More info on the sites of Parallels, Fusion or VirtualBox.

  • JavaScript - the difference between ' window ' and 'document.'?

    Hello

    I'm a Javascript newbie which ended just by the first screen of Captivate (CP9) (HTML5) using Javascript.

    A slide with several text entry areas (TEBs) and a Submit button, which performs a function to validate the TEBs (thank you David for have started me).

    I call the function in the script of the Submit button window and have Javascript code in the Index file.

    In the Javascript code, I used the ' windows ' and 'document '. (don't know if I've used them correctly but the works of Javascript)

    I don't really know the difference between them.

    In Javascript, I know that window is loaded in the browser first, then the document is loaded in the window.

    It's like the window is your browser window and the document is the HTML page inside.

    Also, you can use each of them to access specific properties - and window has a context.

    Some examples of my javascript:

    • window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue ("q1_fback", "");         -erase a message of feedback (text of legend with variable) associated with BER
    • document.getElementById("Text_Entry_Box1_inputField").style.border = 'solid red medium. "  -modification of the border of an object invalid BER (red)

    My question is:

    1. What is the difference between ' window ' and "document." in a context of Captivate?

    I will post you more questions to find out how:

    1 use loops to knock down my code

    2 reuse the same function in other slides

    Concerning

    Donal.

    Your assumptions are correct.

    the cpAPIInterface is in the window.

    The Text_Entry_Box1_inputField is in the document, not the window, but you can use:

    window.document.getElementById("Text_Entry_Box1_inputField").style.border = 'solid red medium. "

    Scope of variables depends on how and when they are declared, and it is generally best to limit their scope and not use them globally in the window object. All seem to be available in the cPs variables window.

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    If my assumption is correct, you are looking for which file to download service pack update.
    Worry not choose files. Download the .iso to the update file, either burn it or mount or extract it and install. These files are called the symbol files. They differ in the language, for example. frequency refers to the French version. They are used to debug the Service Pack and are not really necessary unless you start to run into problems and try to find solutions on your own.

  • What is the difference between Windows 7 OEM and the retail version of Windows 7?

    Can someone tell me, what is the difference between windows 7 OEM and sales vs retail?

    Can someone tell me, what is the difference between windows 7 OEM and sales vs retail?

    There is no difference in the product itself.

    Although if you get a generic OEM full version, it contains the
    even software, it has the following disadvantages compared to the
    commercial version:

    1. the biggest drawback of an OEM version (at least in the USA) is
    that its license it permanently binds to the first computer, it is
    installed on. He can never legally be moved to another computer, sold,
    or given (except with the original computer). If the computer
    dies or is stolen, your license dies with him.

    2. he can't do a clean install, not an upgrade.

    3 Microsoft offers no support for OEM versions. You cannot call their
    with a problem, but rather to secure the necessary support of your
    OEM; who take in charge may go anywhere between property and non-existent. Or
    You can get support elsewhere, like in these forums.

    What is the difference between windows 7 pro debug/checked and simple windows 7 pro? /

    Regular accumulation is the regular version at retail of Windows because most of us use (SP1 or not).

    The build Debug/Check is specifically aimed at developers who developed to make it easier for the debugging flag
    drivers to be developed. This build runs much slower due to the abduction of optimizations and other functions.
