• Taskbar only unlock, cannot pin programs to the taskbar and the Start Menu to the top is dysfunctional

  Can't unlock my taskbar. I tried to unlock, but it won't work, and I am the admin. I have Windows 7 Home Premium. In addition, my Start menu is empty and it will not update to display these latest/most used programs. Furthermore, I can't pin programs in my taskbar. I think that these problems are related, but I have no idea how to fix them. Help, please!

  Malwarebytes' anti-malware: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html.

  SuperAntiSpyware: http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html.

• Pinning programs to the taskbar shortcut in Windows 7 HP

  Hello world

  I have a bit of a problem here. Not a long time with that I bought a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop 2250em ago provided Windows 7 Home Premium. When I first booted the device and went the pit installation process I first installed Mozilla Firefox and anchored in the quick bar without hassle. Simple drag / move. For a long time and then I didn't have the need to locate anything else.

  The problem is that now I have this need and simply cannot reject what it to be more on the shortcut bar. Not even original Windows 7 applications (Calculator, Paint, etc.). I have full admin on the computer rights, can I install or change anything if it is not a problem. Restore the partition will not do in my case, because I'm not going to that excess. If someone had a similar problem and knows what could be a problem, I've wrapped really appreciate the help. Here is the screenshot so you can see what it looks like when I'm trying to identify an aplication on the shortcut bar.

  

  I finally found a solution to the problem, and it seems that I am responsible for.

  The first thing I do when installing windows (any version) removes the IsShortcut registry string (fact icon arrows disappear). When done in windows 7 it's PIN to the context menus for taskbar and and drag disabled pinning superbar.

  The prosblem is fixed, you can close the topic.

  Ty all for trying to help.

• Can't pin the program to the taskbar.

  Ive been try instructions on how programs PIN over the taskbar, but I can't.  I clicked on the start menu and right click on the program I have to pin, but no 'Code Pin to the taskbar' option. I also tried to drag the program on the taskbar, but it did not work. What will I do?

  Sorry, but that's the wrong answer. Absolutely NO program (executable file) would PIN to the taskbar. I found out why and would like to present this as the correct answer to anyone having this problem. This is because I removed the arrows on the icons on the desktop, thanks to a program called "Wise Fixer." If you choose to provide these arrows on the icons you can then pin any program to the taskbar again. Go figure.

• Firefox won't be the default browser for a user and pins himself to the taskbar

  On my Windows 7 PC parents, Firefox always said my mother is not the default browser (giving him the possibility to make sure) and then when closing, he pinned himself to the task bar.

  I checked and Firefox to default programs "has its flaws. I tried to get IE by default and then back to Firefox but the problem persists. The PC has no other browsers on it. Clicklinks in Thunderbird cause Firefox open, there'S no so it seems as if it is actually the default.

  When Firefox is closed it still pin himself to the taskbar. I can detach it and when it closes, it is still there.

  Search on Google, I have a suspicion that pinning occurs when the default configuration of Firefox. I also have a suspicion that something is wrong with the default for HTTP as it does not exist as a protocol to control custom Programs\Set Associations

  I have it solved!

  The command "Firefox.exe - silent - setDefaultBrowser" seems to have restored the HTTP protocol in control custom Programs\Set Associations.

  I found this command on http://kb.mozillazine.org/Setting_Your_Default_Browser#Force_Firefox_to_make_itself_the_default

  Thank you!

• Windows Defender for add or remove programs in the taskbar, but...

  When you attempt to add or remove programs in the task bar , I get the message to turn on Windows Defender. However, I use Microsoft Security Essentials and I was told that MSE takes over and won't allow WD run. In addition, I don't see choice through MSE for add or remove programs in the taskbar. All solutions?

  I was trying to prevent a program from appearing in my taskbar. What do I need to uninstall to get there? In addition, I want to have MSE appear on the taskbar, and it isn't currently. I guess I'm trying to disable a startup program...

  RE: trying to prevent a program from appearing in my taskbar
  Can you not a RIGHT click on the program icon that is on the taskbar > click "unpin this program from the taskbar?

  RE: MSE appears in the taskbar
  Create a MSE shortcut on your desktop > drag the shortcut to the taskbar

  No, what you wrote, you don't want to disable anything of the program startup list.
  If you do, please give me the name of the program.

• Some of my pinned programs give the default icon

  Some programs make their appearance as the icon by default, when I pin them to the taskbar, or right click on them. These programs are Skype and driver Booster. I just reinstalled windows 7 so it could be just a problem with Windows or the program.

  I decided to modify icon properties to a booster of icon and the driver downloaded Skype.

  Hello

  The fact is that each player doesn t work with all THE CDs or DVDs.
  Sometimes, the most recent firmware update could solve these problems, but you will not get a 100% guarantee that it will work.
  I have tested many media and now I decided to use the TDKs CD and DVD.
  I m happy because now I have problems with this media.

  The only solution is to test the media.

  The Task Manager does not appear when right-clicking on the taskbar

  Hello

  It appears when you press ctrl + shift + ESC? It seemed before? You are an administrator on this computer or is it a corporate system?

  If he has suddenly ceased to be available, it's a good sign that you have picked up a virus or some kind of malware. Formal analysis in safe mode is your first line of defense.
