Make XP Taskbar buttons loading in order instead of the startup?

On my old computer running Windows 2 k Pro years there, I was able to configure my startup programs would load their buttons on the taskbar in the order that I preferred.   But who was so long that I forgot for a long time how I managed this thing.

I am running XP Home Edition on a small portable hand and XP Pro on a second-hand PC.

I would like to set up two of them, so that the programs that I have configured to run at startup to the top will be displayed on the taskbar next to the Start button in this order (from left to right)

Departure: Windows Explorer: Web browser: program by e-mail: text editor: the Task Manager

Can it be configured in XP, or do I have to download a special utility program?

  • Shortcuts to the taskbar, buttons, text, same .jpg files in the photo viewer shrank mysteriously horizontally... cannot be resolved (Windows 7)

    Hello

    To describe the problem I want to join two screenshots.

    The shortcuts at the bottom used to extend all the way to the right, to the system tray.  The taskbar buttons are tighter, and the text inside is smaller.  The date and time are narrower.  Here's how a screen shot I took in SWTOR looks:

    It is much closer, and all of the text on the screen is smaller.

    Here is what I tried:

    -Unfortunately I don't have a system restore point, so it wasn't an option.

    -Manipulate anything in the taskbar properties did nothing.  I never changed anything.

    -Change the screen resolution was not the answer.

    -Change the size from 100% to 125% don't give me the results I was looking for.  I want this to 100% and never changed.

    -Change the DPI setting has absolutely nothing.

    -Go to the police in the Panel--> font--> font settings, then clicking on "Restore default settings", made the button go gray but did nothing.

    -Go to personalization and selecting the theme of Windows 7 by default only changed color.  Work with advanced appearance settings was not helpful, because there is no option to select a font by default to size everything.  The option 'Office' here does not even allows you to change the font/size.

    -Unchecking and then re - click on my own personal theme in personalization has not changed anything.

    There is more, but this is basically what happened right out of the blue and for the life of me, I can't find a way to change it to the way it was.  It affects same SWTOR that when I log in, all the text in the chat window is smaller.  I'm just looking to Windows by default.  I found a post that told me to download "Set_Tahoma_Default_Font.reg" and then merge - a box of type BACK skipped upward, but nothing happened.  I restarted my PC after almost every change I made.

    Sorry for the novel.  Any help appreciated.

  • Gmail button (in internet explorer) keeps having moved to the right in my taskbar when I wasn't staying on the left (that's why I first open). How can I get the taskbar buttons to stop randomly to reorganize and stay in order?

    Gmail button (in internet explorer) keeps having moved to the right in my taskbar when I want to keep it on the left (that's why I first open).  How can I get the taskbar buttons to stop randomly to reorganize and stay in order?  I'm talking about the buttons on list of my open applications and documents in Windows Vista.  The bar tasks are "locked", but the button of the window open with gmail in internet explore reappears suddenly in the good moments apparently random.

    It is in the middle part of the taskbar (what I found online so far is on the start menu, the quick launch area or area/system tray of notification, the location of the taskbar in full, either about grouping taskbar - I disabled because I would like to separate).  Can anyone help?  I don't understand why this is happening (or why microsoft would never do).

    Lock the taskbar that it prevents to be moved elsewhere on the office and maintains the different sections where they are - it does not block the tabs showing what is open where they were when they were opened.  There is no control for this function.  Maybe if you uncheck similar taskbar buttons group it will help, but I honestly don't know (and fear he won't make any difference - it may even make things worse).  This also happens to me and I was unable to find an answer.  I think that there are more than just random, but I can't telll you why he moves the legs periodically (sometimes it works fine all day and other days it happens almost immediately).  But still, there is no control for this function, so there is no way to tell him to keep a specific order or to lock an established order, once it has been created.  I suspect that it happens because the notification area icons appear and hide and new programs open and close and which changes the amount of space available and so he rearranges things so that they match and apparently does not always consider the original sequence in which the elements have been added.  Maybe if you remove the Quick Launch toolbar and then add again, the order will reset (but that I know not - probably not in the original sequence, which I doubt is logged nowhere - it did not work when I tried it).

    Unfortunately, I don't have a solution to this problem (and I spend a little time looking for even before myselff posed the question) and do not believe that there is a.  It is also unfortunate that you can't move them so they can be put back in the right order if they change.  I don't think that there is nothing wrong with your system or that it is something that can be repaired or fixed - it's just the way it is and we just have to live with it.  I don't know any 3rd party software that controls the order of tabs open in the taskbar program (but you can check out Bing, Gooogle,www.tucows.comand www.download.com to see if I'm wrong on this - here n "t all when I looked trying to solve this problem for my own system).

    I'm sorry it wasn't what you wanted to hear, but it's like that.  I don't know if it's different in Windows 7.

    I have a laptop wide screen so I move the taskbar to the left for more vertical space. I was wondering if there is a way to return so that the Start button is on the bottom and all the small icons of notification are on top?

    Hi Sparty11,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

    Unfortunately you can not return the taskbar to display the start menu to the basic button. It's normal. If you move to the left or right, in both cases the start menu button appears on the top left or top right of the task bar.

    You can share your suggestions on tracking site.

  • loading html document stored on the local hard drive using the 'flash' button

    Hello! I use adobe cs 5.5 flash (action script 3), and I need to load an html document into my hard drive using the 'flash' button I tried navigateToURL (thanks kglad). Here is the code:

    quizstart_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, arithmeticlesson);

    function arithmeticlesson(event:MouseEvent):void

    {

    navigateToURL (new URLRequest("file:///C:/quiz/truequiz.html)", "_blank");

    }

    But I want to play my flash file to the other computer. In order to access the truequiz.html, I'll make a folder named quiz to C:\.

    How can I load this html file to other computers without creating a folder to C:\? Sorry for the dumb questions. I'm new coding. Thanks in advance!

    Is there another html file that includes the swf file?  If so, it is in a different folder, then you need to adjust the path so that the swf file target html file as if it were in the same folder as the html page that incorporates.

    Are other than that, you getting any kind of error message from security to try to link to the page in this way?

    I really enjoyed my visit here.  We went in February, the coldest time of the year, and when I got my mother-in-law apologized for the cold, it was then that I was just there dripping with sweat.  Where I am now (upper NY) it is-10 degrees...  If here and there, I'd be a temperature controlled indoor environment.

    radio css
    

    on Google for examples of how you can change the icon of the radio group selection.

    On the use of the images himself for the Group of radio buttons. You can always include the necessary HTML tags in the query LOV himself as well. Just a very simple example:

    select ''||dname as d,
           deptno as r
      from dept
     order by dname

  • How can I place a STOP button on my toolbar. I would like to stop firefox from loading a page by pressing the STOP button, but I can't find it in the toolbar options.

    How can I place a STOP button on my toolbar. I would like to stop firefox from loading a page by pressing the STOP button, but I can't find it in the toolbar options.

    First of all, if you have the menu bar show. (File-Edit-View-History-Bookmarks-Tools-Help), then you won't see the orange FireFox button because in the new version of FireFox button replaces the menu bar. You can believe that's the way you want by clicking on 'View', then place your cursor over "Toolbars" and check or uncheck menu bar. If you have the display on menu bar, click on 'View' then drag down to "Toolbars", then descend to the right and go to 'customize '; a click on it. Then, when the next screen appears, even if 'Reload' is not displayed on this topic, it appears somewhere upwards in your toolbar. (Mine was above the Google search box). Put your cursor on it and drag-and - drop to the left of your address bar. The "Stop" button should be left more than the button 'recharge' in order to get two separate buttons for these tasks. If the 'Reload' button is further to the left, then you get a single button that performs the tasks at the same time. I hope this helps.

  • the persistent taskbar button

    I just got started using 3.3 G of the Toolbox (LV8.5) for system tray tools.  To the help of code from inside the examples, I had my application as you wish, with the exception of an initial start-up system tray button, which loses its connection to any wndow as soon as the front disappears once and the system tray icon apears.   The orphan taskbar button will not disappear and does nothing.  When I click on my application icon in the system tray the façade reappears as you like, create a second button on the taskbar that disappears when you like I decrease the façade.

    My front panel makes its appearance (as you wish) before launching it minimized in the system tray.  I do it this way so that successful launch is assured before the window closes, with the assurance that things are really run in the background, as expected.

    Is there a a way to remove this initial task bar button, leaving the only desired behavior?

    Thank you!

  • Is it normal for the taskbar icons load erratically, badly or not at all?

    For three or four months, as soon as I install the monthly updates, my taskbar becomes irregular in it takes over. The most frequent occurrence is the order in which the icons loading - that's no biggie. More recently, since 2 months, it takes 1 or 2 minutes to display all icons appropriate to pop up in a few seconds. In addition, apps loading ok at the start, but a poster an incorrect icon (everything works... just bad icon)-this has just begun since install update of today. Then there's weird sometimes when the icon is not at all... sometimes 2 icons. They are running... just not visible - and there is no expansion of the taskbar... It has not reduced.

    Since the installation of update today, the MSE icon began loading ORANGE! -(ACK!). Run a quick scan turned green for several minutes - then back to orange. Run a full scan and cancellation after 20 seconds reset it in green and it remained so for several hours now. Hope it holds.
    Incorrect icon is: the double computer with a red x for the connection to the Local - network a network cable is unplugged appears as a single computer, which is used to indicate my wireless connection - there is the computer only correct icon who is left with him.
    I use only the MSE - no other cleansers, fix - sound, or ' Anti-Malware/Anti-Virus

     

    Download, install, update and scan with these full free malware detection programs:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    Remove all found, restart, and run again until analyses race clean, these can be removed later if you wish. Perform analyses to one at a time, please.

    MSE is a good antivirus, but you must also run malware scanners and spyware scanner like on REQUEST only.

    no single antivirus cannot find everything, I run MSE and Malwarebytes and so far have been good.

    run up to their own analyses.

  • Windows 7 64 bit, start slowing down, the desktop icons and taskbar of loading very slowly since last week!

    so first, I'll start with my system features:

    Reference Dell Xps15z
    Intel Core i7 - 2640M to 2.8 ghz
    NVIDIA GT525M 2 GB
    8 GB RAM
    Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64-bit
    Samsung PM830 SSD 2.5 "7 GB 218, 42 GB of free
    My laptop is now just a year and plays well outside some blue screen errors that have been fixed. The question now is time to start being significantly slower, especially the loading of the office. It takes 15 seconds to the password screen, to 45 seconds to reach the office and another 45 seconds to the taskbar, icons and things on the desktop to load. What is unusual is that during this black screen, my mouse is displayed, as well as for Advanced System Care 6 performance monitor (I doubt that this is the problem as I had installed for some time). I did the troubleshooting on mine and removed about half of my program without success. I also checked the health and performance of my SSD with SSD and SSD life and both seem to be very positive. I did not any changes to the Bios because I don't want to reinstall my OS and I'm not really sure on workarounds.
    I tried also to the difficulty of the task of explorer.exe, by checking the value of shell in the registry and it is correct, that it just load slowly at the start and each time I kill and then open it again in the Task Manager. Therefore, I think that my main problem is with explorer.exe loading slowly for some reason, I also removed some desktop icons and taskbar, although I doubt that it makes much difference.
    I've also done many scans with malware bytes pro and hitman pro, there is no virus on my computer.
    I appreciate any help, as it is very inconvenient for my more than 90 seconds start time, when he was about 20 when the laptop was new.
    Thank you very much for your help!
    P.S. I have about 60 GB of games installed on my pc via steam, if it makes a difference to delete some

    When my Windows 7 is slow to start, I do the following:

    Start, then in the search box, type of race. In run, type "msconfig"(sans guillemets), and then click OK. ""
    In the general tab, make sure that selective startup is selected.
    Under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
    Then go to the Startup tab and disable everything except software antivirus and important such as the microsoft. In addition, DO NOT disable any program that you do not recognize.
    This will disable any unnecessary background programs and prevent to launch at startup.
    NOTE: you can still start programs even if they do not start at startup. For example, your favorite game is one of them, and you the disabled. Now, the game does not start at startup, but if you click on the game icon later, it will always start, except maybe a bit slower when it starts. Basically, you are delaying the start of programmes which does not need to start at startup, you move a part of the start-up BACK period. The only programs that you do not disable is programs that actually need to start (like if it starts your computer will blow or something similar).
