• How do you install an icon show desktop in my taskbar (similar to that available on my XP machine)?

  Or y at - it a faster way to get back on the desktop when many windows are open on the screen?

  Allurfine/Chimel:

  The 'show desktop' icon is redundant, good stuff... OK, so, we'll put it all together:

  (1) How to create icon "Show Desktop" - and place it on start bar (or indeed in any folder you want that you have write access to the disk):

  Click Start and run, type notepad in the Open box, and then click OK.
  Copy carefully and then paste the following text in the Notepad window:
  [Shell]

  Order = 2

  IconFile = explore .exe, 3

  [Taskbar]

  Command = ToggleDesktop

  On the file menu, click Save as, and then save the file to your desktop as "Show desktop.scf". The show, the desktop icon is created on your desktop.

  Once you have created the icon, you can also drag on the start bar and access it from the start menu if you wish.

  2) show the desktop on the taskbar icon:

  On the right bar or a task far beyond date and time zone.

  (3) computer access from desktop with Windows-D.

  * There you go. Here are 3 ways you can use show desktop. All are redundant. That said, Windows is full of redundancies if you want to get technical - I'm guessing another synonym for this is "user friendly". Use any method you want. I think the point is to have as many options as possible and use Windows in any way works best for you.

  Good luck

• Firefox has recently discontinued. I opened it again, and I had lost my pinned tabs. How can I find/restore them?

  Firefox sometimes stops, but this time I opened it as usual and my pinned tabs have been lost. I searched through the parameter etc but I can't find a way to get back them, or at least to find them. Any ideas?

  Do not close Firefox. Please save all your files of sessionstore in a safe place for potential recovery/recovery operations.

  You can open the settings file (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button.

  In the window that launches, scroll down and save a copy of all the files whose names begin with sessionstore to a safe place, such as your Documents folder. If not too much time has passed, we may be able to use to recover your blank tabs.

  Then you could check the menu history for 'restore previous Session "? This can appear on the application ('3-bar' menu) or on the menu bar.

  If 'Restore previous Session' is grayed out, then either Firefox has already loaded your session previous windows and tabs, or could not load the file. Check the menu history the possibility of re-opening closed windows and then labels in each window. Nothing salvageable?

  The types of files that you can find in your sessionstore files include:

  • sessionstore.js: windows and tabs in your Firefox session currently live (or, if Firefox is closed, your last session)
  • sessionstore.bak: the windows and tabs in your last session in Firefox
  • sessionstore.bak -datetime: windows and tabs in Firefox that was alive at the time of your last update session
  • sessionstore - 1.js (or other numbered files): windows and tabs when Firefox was unable to update the sessionstore.js file registered

  Can take you a look at what you have and the date / time of the different files to see if you think that one of them would be the windows and tabs missing?

• Show Desktop icon is missing from the Quick Launch bar

  Original title: Windows Search

  I have Windows XP, home edition, SP3, IE8, and I lost one of my desktop icons that I use frequently. This is the icon that is always in the taskbar, as well as a few others. The icon is what opens on the desktop whenever you click on it. It is a white square that looks like a block of office paper, with a figure of what looks like a pencil or pen appearing thereon.  Somehow, somehow, it was deleted, and I can't find where to get it back. I have been in the control panel on 'VIEW' and no luck, only we in the menu of the taskbar and start and he can find, checked a large number of menus that contain the word "Desktop" in it and I clicked on a large number of them also without a bit of luck too. Once more, he is a white icon and is still in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen of the monitor. Someone knows must return this icon... any help would be appreciated.

• Microsoft 2007 issue of show desktop icon

  My icon show desktop on the quick launch in 2007 Microsoft is missing and I can't seem to appear without going into Internet Explorer.  I need to know if it can be added to the quick launch area.

  See this transparent rectangle in the lower right of your taskbar? It's your button show desktop. Use it the same way you used it on XP.

• Win7 detail: the "Show Desktop" taskbar icon has DOUBLED in width since the initial, unable to restore to the default size.

  The icon show desktop (Aero Peek) in the lower right corner of the taskbar has doubled in width since the initial installation.

  Screenshot links.

  I'm a fairly comfortable power user - I went through the registry with nothing doesn't. I tried setting the MinWidth for icons, but that affects only the open application icons. Bing search gave no possible causes. This isn't a serious error - and I can live with that. However, I would like to understand how it happened so it isn't double size again... and again... and again.

  I also installed a bamboo tablet, and my button display the office doubled in width.  I was able to restore it to the original (narrowness) by opening the control panel and open "turn Windows features On or Off".  I then unchecked "Components Tablet PC" and restarted the computer, and the button was back to normal.

  This disables the features of handwriting comes with Windows, but the Flick and feather options are always available.  Because I do not use the pen to write with, it worked perfectly for me and I could use my tablet of bamboo without problem.

• I lost the icon that takes a URL and saves it as a bookmark (lost icon)

  At the top right, I used to have an icon I want to click which automatically too the URL of what has been seen and place it in the bookmarks. I lost the two icons. How to make a comeback?

  I have attached a screenshot showing what, in my view, are missing icons, as well as the "overflow" icon that may appear at the end of the main toolbar. Do you find the missing icons on a list of infinity?

  If this is not the case, they could have been moved off the toolbars or on a different toolbar. You can try to use customize to put back them in their place. This article describes how to use customize them: Customize Firefox commands, buttons, and toolbars

  If the icons are not found, you can use the "Restore Defaults" button at the bottom of the Customize tab to reset your toolbars on the original icons, as well as some changes made by modules.

  A little luck?

• NEED HELP WITH THE SHORTCUT "SHOW DESKTOP".

  Hello!

  I made a shortcut 'show dekstop '. I did it by adding this code into Notepad and save a .vbs file:
  Set shell = wscript. CreateObject

  Shell.MinimizeAll
  When I click it, it go to the desktop, just like I wanted. But when I click it again, it will not go back to my previous 'place', as the button show desktop in the windows taskbar. Does anyone of you guys no matter what code I could add so when I clicked it again, I would be back to where I was?
  It's a little "off topic", but since you are master's degree in computer science and coding, I guess that some of you can give me an answer.
  BTW!
  I am fully aware that Windows 8 has also the 'show desktop' button, but I make a shortcut for my RocketDock ;)
  Thanks in advance

  Do not try to write your own.  ;-)  No need to reinvent the wheel that is already on your system.
   
  Copy of the who that can be found here:
  "%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Shows Desktop.lnk"
   
  You can put this shortcut anywhere.  This works.  Your just sends a command "MinimizeAll" - so what he does is JUST that.  ;-)

• Uncheck show desktop icons can I him repeat these steps, and then select Show the desktop icons are the same icons that I had before reappearing?

  If a right click the office click on view, then uncheck show desktop icons and restart or turn off and turn on my computer can I repeat these steps, and then show the desktop icons check will be the same icons that I had before reappearing!

  Yes. This control simply allows you to show or hide. It does not change the contents of the desktop (C:\Users\\Desktop) user-defined folder. Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org

• I lost all my desktop icons and you can't get back them

  I installed Vipre Antivirus and I lost all my desktop icons I removed Vipre still does not

  The desktop icons? You have absolutely nothing on the screen? Or only some icons are missing?

  Perhaps your desktop icons are hidden.

  Right-click on the desktop, and then select view.
  Under view, place a check on "show desktop icons".

  Any change?

  See you soon!
