  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.

• How to configure the desktop or the taskbar icon/link to Firefox so 42 or more recent version of Firefox always opens in a 'new private window'?

  I use Linux on my Acer laptop. I want to use Mozilla Firefox version 42.0 or more recent in the 'new private window Mode"always. When I click on the Firefox icon on my desktop or the taskbar, I want Firefox to open in 'New private window' always; no exception. When I click on the tab button or a link, all new pages should always open 'Private window' mode. In addition, I want to know that I am in a private window with privacy mask showing. Your help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you, Amos.

  Hi Amos, assuming you want to get more protection, monitoring, there are a few options:

  • You can customize your firefox shortcut on the desktop or the taskbar to open firefox directly in private browsing mode: right-click the shortcut "mozilla firefox", go to properties, and at the end of the target line that should hold them the way to the firefox program folder add " -private"
  • You can enable protection followed not only during private browsing, but in normal windows as hollow a 'hidden' preference: enter on: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named privacy.trackingprotection.enabled. Double-click it and change its value to true.
  • You can set firefox don't remember history in the menu > options > sign confidentiality in order to always run in private browsing mode. However you will not be able to open all normal windows or record the history and passwords if you have defined this mode: confidentiality, and-not-track browsing history settings

• Toolbar to desktop in the taskbar on the desktop in full-screen by default

  I am running Win7 Home Premium SP1 on a 64-bit computer.

  My office and all its content has moved to a toolbar named "Desktop" in my taskbar next to my clock on the right side. How can I restore my desktop computer and all of its contents on the default desktop in full screen? When I click on the office toolbar, all my shortcuts and various files are located in. In addition, when I'm going through Explorer, go to my user folder and then my folder on the desktop, all of the same content as the toolbar are contained in it. The only difference between 'Office Explorer' and "desktop toolbar", it's that the "tool bar desktop" also has the following in the following order:

  Libraries

  Homegroup

  My user name

  Computer

  Network

  Control Panel

  Recycle Bin

  All my items in office

  I already tried the following:

  • Right click on the desktop, choose personalize, then choose desktop icon on the left side settings. Clicked on each of the five office icons. It did add extra
  • Unlocked taskbar, left clicked 'close the toolbar. On this option, he did remove "tool bar desktop" from the taskbar, making my office available only via Explorer, or until I re - enable the "desktop of the toolbar.

  I consider myself as technophiles, but this has me completely stumped. Please let me know if you need more information.  Thanks in advance.

  p.s. I came across an article on how to create additional custom toolbars on the taskbar.  Which would be a useful function for these toolbars created for?

  Right-click on an empty space on the desktop, click view, click Show Desktop icons.

• 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!

• Application Builder: pin distribution to the taskbar

  Hello community,

  I have a program I am building an executable file, then an installer.

  This installer contains of course the RTE LabVIEW and other things which makes the very broad distribution.

  To distribute the patches, I use a second installer I created by making a copy of the first and then deselect the RTE, etc..

  This creates a much smaller package and voila, with the exception of a whim:

  If the executable file from the original installation is pinned to the taskbar it will stay pinned to the taskbar after patched at ONCE.

  But if I build Installer "patch" a second time immediately (even without having to build a new exe) to install this patch will cause pinning break.

  I can't understand the settings to keep intact pinning.

  Does anyone have experience with this?

  Best regards Florian

  Hi Florian.

  The problem is not directly related to the copy of the installer - this would happen if you rebuilt and then reinstalled the new version of the installer of origin as well. The problem is that version 2 of the installation program performs an action to upgrade MSI on the shortcut file that was installed in version 1.0. This action of upgrade first uninstalls the shortcut file having been pinned after installation of version 1.0, which eliminates so the pin of the Windows taskbar. Upgrade action ends then, by installing the file shortcut again. At this point, there is no pin code, because Windows is not a mechanism to associate the new version of the file with the old version of the file.

  Note that the problem does not occur when you install the first version of the copy of the installer, because in this case, the MSI upgrade code is different from the original installer, and no update MSI action (and therefore uninstalling) occurs on the shortcut file. Instead, the MSI file installs just the new shortcut file over the existing, which does not affect the pinning.

  To work around this problem, you should consider not installing the shortcut in the copy of your Installer. In this way, you can continue to rebuild the patch without losing the axis that the user does after they installed the original installer.

• I can't pin folders to the taskbar,

  When I drag a folder in Windows Explorer, it disappears.  He was pinned to the Windows Explorer in the taskbar when I right-click.  Then one day all my added items disappeared and now I can't pin anything here.

  Is this a known bug?  Is a fix?

  Hello

  Here is the information for the repair of the Windows Explorer jump list.

  1. open Windows Explorer and copy / paste the path in the address bar and press enter.

  %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations

  2 put in list or details on this file and search for the following file.

  1b4dd67f29cb1962.automaticDestinations - ms

  Right-click in the folder and select delete.

  This is the file that stores the information of list of shortcuts in Windows Explorer and it is probably corrupted.

  Start working with Windows Explorer and the jump list has to rebuild itself.

  You need to replace all the icons of bookmarks.

  Let us know the results.
