• How can I MOVE buttons on taskbar to a new location without having to close all programs and resume in the order I want?

  I like to keep the buttons in my taskbar has organized with the browser and messaging on the left, followed by Windows Explorer and other items. If they get out of order or programs are loaded into a different order, how can I MOVE the buttons to a new location without having to close all programs and resume in the order I want? In addition, sometimes, one of program buttons seems in itself to migrate out of place and I need to get back to where it should be: same problem.

  Hi shohareZohre

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers Forums!

  The task bar is the horizontal bar at the bottom of your screen time. In contrast to the office, which can get obscured by the windows on top of it, the taskbar are visible nearly all the time. It includes four main sections:

  ·         The Start button, which opens the start menu.

  ·         The Quick Launch bar, which allows you to start programs with a single click.

  ·         The middle section, which shows you what programs and documents you have open and allows you to quickly switch between them.

  ·         The notification area, which includes a clock and icons (small pictures) that communicate the status of certain programs and computer settings.

  Add or remove programs on the Quick Launch toolbar

  The Quick Launch toolbar is located on the task bar and is a convenient way to open programs. You can add or remove program icons in the Quick Launch toolbar so that you have easy access to the programs that you use frequently.

  To add a program icon to the Quick Launch toolbar

  Click the icon for the program to add (you can find most icons of programs on the start menu or the desktop) and then drag it to the Quick Launch toolbar.

  Note: If you don't see the toolbar tools quick launch, right-click on an empty area of the taskbar, click Toolbars, and then click quick launch.

  To remove a program to the Quick Launch toolbar icon

  Right-click on the icon of the program and then click Remove.

  Notes: ·         Delete an icon from the taskbar does not remove its corresponding computer program.

  ·         If you want to stop showing a toolbar on the taskbar, right-click an empty area of the taskbar, point to toolbars, and then click the item that you want to stop broadcasting.

  NOTE: The ability to move the programs in the taskbar is not possible in windows Vista but the same functionality is available in Windows 7. Please see the link below.

• Need to backup all programs and files without the System Image

  Hi all

  Recently, I myself in a dilemma. I installed 4 additional disks with the intention of creating a RAID volume supported by the BIOS. To do this, I need to change the BIOS setting of the controller which includes all the volumes, including my boot drive (that I don't intend to RAID). The problem I have is that when I pass the UEFI to RAID controller, Windows Recovery will not use the System Image I did. He said that the volume was created under a different arrangement (Bios vs. EFI).

  What are my options? Is there a different backup setting, which allows to keep all my installed software? I am not concerned with the data that I can copy it to an external volume, but it would take several days to get all of my software reinstalled. I would like to avoid this. I guess I'll have to reinstall Windows Pro 8.1 and then use a backup program to restore everything. If this is the case, then I need to know which backup program will work. If there is a better way, I would like to know. I see my options in the form, get another backup program, get a map of controller for the boot drive or the RAID volume or just reinstall.

  Thank you

• all programs and files in the menu start (excpet 4-5) have disappeared.

  I use vista.  When I click on the start menu, there are no programs not listed and when I choose all PROGRAMS there are only 8 folders listed.

  I stopped twice and logged on as user admin and regular with the same results.  All of these programs were here 2 days ago (do not use computer yesterday).

  I can use Explorer to open files on the c drive and the programs open from there without any problem.

  any suggestions...

  Thank you for your response.

  I did a system restore to 4-5 days before I noticed the problem and still had.  To make a long story short, I went 30 days to discover the culprit.

  I had downloaded a spy software called Comodo a month ago.  I care for her so I unistaleld it.  During uninstallation, he deleted my program files on the start menu.  Rather unusual, I think, so I don't have the time to uninstall a 2nd with the same result.

  I removed the Comodo manually and the system is back to normal.

  See you soon

• If I do not have a windows vista sp2 install disk how can I erase all programs and files from the laptop?

  I would remove ALL of my laptop which is running vista Sp2 and I have not a disk to install it from what can do?

  Hello

  Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  ____________________________________________________________

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  __________________________________________________________

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• Lost all LR camera profiles... Help, please!

  I have been using LR5 for some time and never had any problems with profiles of camera for all 3 of my cameras. For some reason, this week, missing profiles. All photos in LR have a yellow tint and when I watch it on my PC they are thin and PS is fine too. I tried to move the profiles manually to my folder user for my specific devices, and it made no difference. No update is available according to the prompt assistance. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program, just in case something has been corrupted for some reason and no change. I downloaded the DNG Converter and the files are still all yellow in LR. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do? Thanks in advance.

  Profiles endangered are usually that your current image is not a raw image because profiles are only for raw files.

  A color for the images (and the histogram) cast in LR is usually because your monitor profile is not compatible with LR.   Usually, this incompatible profile is provided by the manufacturer of your monitor.   You can if it's the problem by assigning sRGB profile:

• I lost my accessory under Start, all programs, and accessibility.

  Original title: Technical Support.

  I have Windows XP Home Professional with Service Pack 3. I lost my accessory under Start, all programs, and accessibility. I want to use the calculator, but he's not here, I mean Windows components. They were deleted for a reason. He questioned the Service Pack 3 Cd, but I have only the CD with Service Pack 2. How can I reinstall them?

  System File Checker will not work for you for two reasons:

  1. He will ask the installation CD XP sp3 - which is not
  2. Even if you have the correct CD, this isn't what SFC

  Instead, see AccRestore - restores the missing Accessories group shortcut (this is a web site with confidence you can securely download the zip file, after you download the file, do a right click and "Extract all" and then double-click on the extracted exe file)

• It apears that ROXIO CD and DVD copy program is part of the Vista program when I got it. After my computer crashed it seems to have disappeared. It worked like a charm, how do I get it back?

  It seems that ROXIO CD and DVD copy program is part of the Vista program that came with the computer. After that the computer crashed it disappeared. It can be recovered?

  Roxio CD and DVD is NOT a part of Vista, but it may have come with other software on your PC from the manufacturer.  When you crashed, how are you on the recovery?  Did you do a clean reinstall?  Did you use a recovery disk provided by the manufacturer or a recovery Partition created by the manufacturer, or have you used a Vista disk?

  If you used disks of recovery or a recovery of the manufacturer Partition, then you need to discuss with them because they produce these discs - not Microsoft (and they may be able to solve the problem or refer you to a site where you can download the program or email the file to you or something - or send you the replacement of the recovery with the software on this disc so always available - possibly for one) small fee).  If you used a Microsoft disc, then this program is not on the disc and why he is not installed more.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
