My Documents appears in the task bar on its own

I left my computer for a few minutes. There was no one else around. When I came back, I noticed that the taskbar contains the My Documents folder. Can someone explain how this has happened on its own. I am running XP Pro SP3. Thank you.

I can't say how it happened, but you can try this to remove it: right click on My Documents on the taskbar, and then click close toolbar .

    Hi Ken

    It is also normal, as Nathan described. You can 'move' a window behind the taskbar.

    What I was describing is the default when you open a new window maximized. It should extend from the top of the screen to the top of the taskbar and not behind the taskbar.

    Thank you and sorry for misunderstanding you. Yes, I agree.

    If you have set on auto-hide the taskbar, this means a slightly larger magnified window, because it extends all the way to the bottom of the screen and if you appears the taskbar then it will cover the bottom of the open window.

    Kind regards

  • With the help of several monitorss, if I can get notifications box appears on all task bars?

    I use 3 monitors with an AMD series 7xxx card. I would prefer not to use a 3rd party program to manage multiple windows. I wonder if it is possible with Windows 8 to display the notification on all task bars area. If so, how?

    Thank you.

    I don't think that this is supported.

    I use this work around: you can move the notification area on the screen you want (instead of just the main screen).

    Right click on the task bar.
    Properties.
    Uncheck the "display the taskbar on all screens.
    Apply.
    Drag the taskbar 'primary monitor' rest on the screen you want.
    Check "show the taskbar on all screens.
    ... you are finished. Want the notification area now on what you watch.

    Unplug additional screens and notification area will return to the primary.

    It would be VERY characteristic worth having the area of notification on all monitors.

  • Firefox does not open in full screen on the task bar and I have to go over it to see the web page.

    Firefox does not open in full screen on the task bar and I have to go over it to see the web page.

    Firefox window is sometimes "off screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

    A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt. You can delete this file and Firefox will return to standard window resizing.

    #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

    Open the settings folder (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. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

    Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

    Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or the start search bar menu type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the profiles folder:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

    Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

    Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    Then, to re - light bars, you can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select the desired bars it:

    To activate the menu bar, toolbar bookmarks or other bars, click it in the list.

  • Not maximizing the task bar when you click on Windows Explorer

    When I place the mouse on the icon of the program in the taskbar Windows Explorer the small preview window/s is displayed but will not maximize in a large window.  When I click on it or right click "optimize" on the spotted, that nothing is happening.

    In fact, probably we maximize or restore, but off the screen where you can not see.  This happened to me sometimes as well.

    Try this:

    1. hold SHIFT key and right-click on the icon in the task bar (or right click on the preview you did).
    2. choose the entrance to restore if it is not gray.
    3 hold down the SHIFT key and click again on the icon in the taskbar.
    4. now, choose the entry of moving.
    5. without doing anything else, press one of the arrow keys (for example, the arrow on the left) of the keyboard.
    6. without anything click, move the mouse.  Your window should appear on the screen.
    7. click on the mouse to move the window, then you can resize or other to be where you want.

    I suspect that this is a problem in several screen of Windows 7 support, and that the window actually believes that it is off on another monitor, even if you have no other active monitor.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Is it possible to display an image full screen; in other words, how to switch all the toolbars - including the status bar and the task bar?

    I found a few larger images (986 x 1024 and 2420 x 2514) I'd like to see on the entire screen. Is there a way to do this by enabling / disabling (then restore it later) of all toolbars - including the status bar and the task bar? Or is there an FF extension that will make perhaps even easier?

    Press F11 or select "full screen" in the menu. (If there is still floating toolbars around after that, do a right-click on the toolbar and remove the checkbox.)
