Placement of the icon on the desktop, dual display

Hello.

I recently found when I put in place the double display for my PC, if the two screens are both set to 1920 x 1080, the line from the bottom of my desktop icons is partly hidden under the taskbar. I tried to change the size of icons, but no luck. The only way I've found is if the extended secondary display is to set it to 1680 x 1050.

It seems that the extended secondary display picture alignment exactly on any size icons is set to.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

  • I can't get firefox to place a website icon in my desktop with it goes generic

    I can't get firefox to place a website icon in my desktop with it goes generic

    If you drag a link or a favicon on the left end of the address bar on the desktop to create an internet shortcut shortcut then gets the icon of the default browser.

    If you want a different icon (favicon) then you must assign you this icon for the shortcut on the desktop (right click: properties).

    You can usually get the favorite icon if you add 'favicon.ico' to the main area of a website (for example http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display favorite icon in a tab and save this image to a folder or see if you can find it in "tools > Page Info > media.

  • presentation settings pop-up automatically - disapper of the icons on the desktop!

    I'm having a problem with the icons on the desktop.  Whenever I start my computer, or disconnect or plug when turned on, the desktop icons disappear, and the program of 'presentation settings' will appear.  The desktop icons disappear.  I right click on the desktop, select display and the "show desktop icons" is selected.  I deselect, then right click, display, show the desktop icons to show.  It becomes really annoying!  I do every time I turn on the computer, unplug the unit while it is on or plug it in.  Each time, the 'presentation settings' lights.  When I use the "Mobility Center" to turn off presentation settings, he points out that they are turned off and does not respond when I try to 'works '.  I have the presentation settings icon right click and stop the presentation.

    How can I make this frustrating problem annoyingly go away?

    Thank you Mick but you have totally misunderstood the nature of my problem.  I understand how to transform a computer market properly.

    My point was that, once the computer is turned on, the presentation settings pop-up and the desktop icons disappear.  In order to get them to show, I have to then do a right-click on the desktop, select view - the "show desktop icons" is selected, but the icons are not - so I have to deselect "show desktop icons"; so, I have to repeat the whole process, this time by selecting "Show desktop icons" until the icons will be displayed.  IF I unplug the computer while it is on, the presentation automatically pop settings - up, the desktop icons disappear and I have to repeat the process.  IF the computer is already unplugged and turned on, and I plug it in, presentation pop up settings and the desktop icons disappear, and I have to repeat the process.  He became EXTREMELY frustrating - it's why I screamed for help...

    Anyway, I solved the problem I hope - for some reason any my power settings swiched to profile 'Quiet Office'; When I switched it to the profile "Entertainment", the problem seems to have resolved itself!
