My taskbar has changed

Hi, Im having a similar problem but restore to an earlier point has failed.

My taskbar has started to stack windows superimposed instead of next to each other as follows:

as you can see my quick launch is also completely visible that it wasn't before.

I tried to restore my laptop to an earlier date, but it would only go back to yesterday, which is useless because that its been like this a week.

Hope that I have not posted this in the wrong place, it seemed to be the only topic that is similar to my problem.

Thank you

Right click on an empty spot in the taskbar and choose to unlock (turn off the checkbox for "lock the taskbar").

Then you will see little "handles" (dotted line) on the toolbar resize sections.  You can resize the windows application area to give him more room. When you are satisfied all, block him again so he does not change on you.

  • The icon of firefox on the desktop and the taskbar has changed, how can I change this back.

    Recently, I installed firefox on another computer and doing other things, I then noticed that the icon in the taskbar had changed and when I tried to put the shortcut on the desktop, the icon that is displayed is a file folder. I want just the icon of firefox back.

  • taskbar has changed size - too big - and I can't change it back

    my modified taskbar at the bottom right of my screen.  When I moved it to the bottom, the taskbar has grown from a single row of icons with windows open applications in the same start line on the right side to basically two lines - senior a start icons, 2nd row has the under the first line, although there is a lot of space in the row to the top for them.

    the up arrow of calibration does nothing at all and only resizing handle, I can see is on the right side of the Start button and will not spend.  (and Yes, the taskbar is unlocked) the taskbar is an inch of height and even when I change my icon for the smallest size, I STILL can't get the blown thing to shrink down to his former "1/2 or more.

    I wouldn't worry except that I do not have access to the lower part of some open applications - for most of the games - and there are there buttons that I have to click on continue to work.

    I found the answer! Leo Notenboom for AskLeo.info.

    "Click on an empty area of the taskbar and hold the mouse button.

    Now, just drag the mouse where you want to be the toolbar. Once you get enough close, he'll jump right in place.

    To keep him from jumping again, just click on the taskbar and select lock the taskbar.

    If you wish, you can actually put your taskbar at the top, the low or any side of the screen you like.

    That's all there is to it! "Leo Notenboom for AskLeo.info.

  • Vista taskbar has changed when I edited the Start Up Programs

    I edited my programs from starting with msconfig to speed up my computer. I tried to not disable the programs that I recognized as useless or that there are 'arrested' said status so I knew that I didn't need them. However, when I rebooted my computer my Vista taskbar and accompanying effects vista are dumbed down for a classic look.

    I already checked the properties, and is not the problem. As far as I can tell that my NVidia is fine I missed that in the boot options. I think I turned off a Windows program that kept my Vista from the normal search.

    Any advice?  I would rather not system restore because I would always go back and change my start and maybe go back to the same program.  Does anyone know the programs that combine with Vista?

    Hello

    That you disable?

    A process of elimination should work - reactivate 1/2 - If the problem is corrected then disble 1/2
    -If the problem has not been corrected, then try the other 1/2. Or use system restore
    and start over by removing only 1 at a time - or a few and so on.

    I hope this helps.

  • Display has changed after Windows update

    After you have installed the latest updates of windows on 12/12/2012, my screen has changed. All the graphics have been expanded, including the desktop icons, taskbar, tool bars, bars of window, etc.. I checked the configuration of the monitor and the icon size in the taskbar and start menu properties (which remains set on small icons), but I can't find how to go back to my original display size.

    The installed updates were:

    Update security for Windows XP (KB2758857)

    Update security for Windows XP (KB2753842)

    Update security for Windows XP (KB2779030)

    Update security for Windows XP (KB2770660)

    Update for Windows XP (KB2779562)

    A security update cumulative for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows XP (KB2761465)

    Update of security suites for Microsoft Office 2007 (KB2760416)

    Update of security for Word Viewer (KB2760498)

    and

    5.10 Skype for Windows (KB2727727), who fails to install

    Grateful for any help please?

    Thank you for your kind assistance which directed me to the solution. Change the screen resolution in the problem resolved display settings. Strange how that changed spontaneously after the restart following the installation of the security updates.

    Thank you very much

    On the Regional Options tab, in the section Standards and formats, your language is selected.

    To the right of your selected language, click on the Customize button, the click the time tab.

    Change the Format of the time to your desires.

    Eastern Standard time: h:mm:ss:tt

    Military time would be: HH

    Click OK, OK to save the settings.

    You don't need to restart, but I would reboot in any case to ensure the changes 'stick '.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    Now, please, can someone give me a solution to this problem?

    I'm not going to tell you, I have THE solution, but this is the place that you can check: your video driver.  See if it has been updated recently?  If so, you can restore it.

    1. Device Manager
    2. Click on graphics cards
    3. Right click on your map and choose Properties
    4. Click on the driver tab
    5. Click on Roll back driver
    6. Restart

    Or, the driver may need an update.  WARNING: do not use one of these driver update sites that you find on the net.  Use only your OEM or the manufacturer of the video card for drivers.  Sometimes Windows Update will offer driver updates.  Sometimes fine, sometimes not work.

  • The backup location has changed in iTunes 12.5?

    I've already mapped ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup on a network share on my NAS from my MacBook has enough free space to store all the backups of my mobile device. This worked fine until I upgraded to iTunes 12.5.1 yesterday, now the backups seem to run OK until they arrive just before finishing, claiming there is not enough free space on the target device. It's weird, because there is about 5 TB of free on my NAS. At this point, there is a new folder inside backup with today's date, and the devices of iTunes preferences page displays a new entry for the unknown, dated 01/01/2001 00:00.

    So, what has changed with the latest version of iTunes? The audit of the application of the host operating system is free space instead of the backup location? Seems a bit silly...

    Have exactly the same problem.  Once I removed the symlink to my folder of nas backup completed without error.  I copied my share of nas backup and recreated the symlink and then itunes was able to read correctly.  Still not able to complete the backup in the folder of sin, however.

  • iPhone 5 s acting weird from the hotmail interface has changed

    Hello

  • My address bar search has changed and it's really annoying.

    Hello.
    Today, my firefox has changed something in the address bar search system.
    Now the first link it provides is for "popular sites" or your partners no idea but it's boring as hell.
    He destroyed all my combinations of site search...
    When I wrote normally shortcuts like 'pwn' 'kol' 'da' for my sites now the first link provided to ask me "want to pwn/kol/da search in google? Dailymotion? »
    No ffs I don't want that. If I wanted to, I would use the search bar.
    I tried to fix it but can't find it in the normal options and won't play with the config of my own.
    Where I can it turn off? I can't stand it.

    You can set browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete to false to remove the suggestion to visit the location bar page menu drop-down.
    Note that the sound is not really new, but it has now enabled by default in Firefox 43.

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.
