How can I restore my icons and links that I had them?  I also lost all my favorites in Internet Explorer.

  • XML file back to the original file after record - why?

    Hi guys,.

    I work with a bit of XML and have questions, first of all, here are my measurements:

    (1) loading XML

    2) join XML

    (3) save the XML using PHP

    pretty simple, right?

    Well, why when I load the same XML file it reads the file without nodes appendend that I just added?

    I can open the XML file in Dreamweaver and see the nodes listed in the annex, but once I load the XML in the. SWF, it erases the nodes in the annex and not bed as the original nodes once again... a simplified version as follows:

    Original file:

    <? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"? >

    < people >

    < person >

    < name > Steve < / name >

    < / person >

    < / people >

    Saved the file, readable in Dreamweaver:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <people>

         <person>

              <name>Steve</name>

         </person>

         <person>

              <name>Mary</name>

         </person>

    </people>

    When the .swf file is closed, then reopened to save another person, it opens:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <people>

         <person>

              <name>Steve</name>

         </person>

    </people>

    My .swf is local at this point and the PHP and XML files on a server running PHP5.

    Apparently, the PHP script is correct, because it does not save the file correctly. I can save as < people / > as I hear it. But when I close the Flash .swf the URLLoader reads back the original XML data. Not sure how that's possible?

    When I change the location of the XML file to load in the URLLoader it changes so I know it's the same file that I saved for playback... I'm so confused.

    Hope this is enough detail for someone to help me,

    Thank you

    It is extracted from the cache of your browser.  to prevent which add a query changing string when loading your xml file:

  • How can I change back to the original file icon?

    Hello

    Accidentally, I changed the icon of MIDI files, and I can't change it back. I tried to use the Folder Options, but it does not work. I tried to change file Associations, still no luck. The icon that I'm looking to take it is the original icon used for MIDI files, which is also the same for the video files, MP4 (not a screenshot). Is this icon in a specific file? I hope I don't have to do anything drastic, such as reinstalling Windows or do a system restore.
    Thank you for all the answers.

  • Spider Solitaire: Deck Apprearance - how to get back to the Original by default/bridge design/color

    Seasons is the blue bridge, only that I see. It is possible that your computer manufacturer had custom maps, then when you change the appearance, the changes were lost.

  • How can I get the original icon HP Quick Launch (NOT the shortcut!) on my DESKTOP?

    I have a HP 2000 t - 2d 00 Notebook PC with operating system Windows 8.1.  The computer was recently repaired, but when I bought it, it had initially provided with HP Quick Start icon (square blue tile - like appearance with the rocket / is NOT a shortcut with an arrow inside!)

    Once it has been repaired, the original official HP QuickStart icon was on the desk.

    However, something happened, I have no idea what (!), and the original official HP QuickStart icon disappeared from the desktop!

    I would be very happy if someone could tell me how to get the original icon HP Quick Start (blue tile in appearance as square with the rocket) on my desk.

    I don't want a shortcut; I know how to create a shortcut!  I am certainly difficult and would like to have some things on the desktop exactly the way they were when I came to the computer.

    Thank you very much to all those who can help me.

    You missed my questions in my first reply to your message!  The link you provided for the program that can get rid of the arrows on the desktop shortcut icons does not have audio, or am I missing something?

    And since you said I could try a system restore before that the icon has been "modified" - does this mean that the original icon, when I got the computer brand new, * has * indeed an icon for HP Quick Launch / is NOT a shortcut?

    Thank you.

    Hey @BJ22 ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand you are trying to add the quick launch of HP on the desktop of your laptop.

    The icons on the desktop for programs preinstalled by HP are actually shortcuts. The executable file can be moved from its installed location without breaking the connection to the .dll for the software files.

    If the arrow bothers you, you can use this light application to remove the arrows from shortcut icons: Windows shortcut arrow editor.

    You can also try to restore until the icon has been changed. Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).

    I hope that it is a viable solution for you.

    (a) open default programs by clicking the Start button, and then click default programs.

    (b) click on associate a type of file or Protocol with a program.

    (c) click on Protocol or file type that you want the program to act as the default value.

    (d) click the program of change.

    (e) click the program that you want to use by default for the selected file type, or click the arrow next to other programs to show other programs. (If you don't see other programs or your program is not listed, click Browse to find the program you want to use, and then click Open. If no other programs are installed that are able to open the type of file or Protocol, your choice will be limited.)

    Another method is to do a system restore.

    If you remember a time when you did NOT have this problem, and if this date is not too long, use this date or before as your restore point.
