Recent Places icon appearing on the desktop when ever I go to recent locations in the Favorites

When ever I go to recent locations in the Favorites page to clean my memory this recent locations icon appears on the desktop WITHOUT option to right click and delete OR drag it to the trash

I found a tutorial on the web that provides a way to remove the icon
1.right - click recent locations in the field of Favorites tab in Explorer.
2. click on "send to", and then select Desktop
This will automatically replace the existing icon and replace it with a DESKTOP SHORTCUT
3. simply delete the shortcut
 
But this issue should be fixed in next update, or maybe it is set in point 8.1 of Windows because it's REALLY BORING to this procedure whenever you clear recent locations

Thank you very much! To solve my problem... As you have said, I hope there will be an update so that we do not have to constantly...

Much appreciated, Cheers

  • When I open a program, another icon appears in the taskbar. How can I change to make the correct icon?

    I tried to change the default program that appears when I open the .gif or .jpg files, so I made successfully by using the control panel.

    Then when I opened a PDF file (with Adobe Reader X), the icon that appears in the taskbar is my default program for .gif and .jpg files (in this case, paint).  I checked the options of the program by default under the control panel and it does not say that .pdf files will be opened by Adobe Reader if it is not the problem.

    When I check the properties of Adobe Reader X, the icon used is the appropriate icon.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader software, but it still happens.  I restarted the computer.

    So why Windows 7 displays the icon of the paint when a .pdf file is opened?

    I ask here because the control panel and change the default programs is a Windows 7 problem.

    Thank you

    Oh believe me, it would drive me crazy too.

    It's probably a long shot, because as far as I know, the taskbar should not use the shortcut icon to the start menu to choose which shows... but we will try.  Just kill this reader shortcut in the start menu and make your own (just open Adobe C:\Program 9.0\Reader and do a right click AcroRd32.exe choose "send to: desktop (create shortcut)" and then falling in your Start menu.)  Try it pin to the taskbar too and then open a PDF file maybe.
    I think I know the registry keys control this icon, but I really hesitate to recommend snooping around in it.

  • How to get the icons appearing on the background browser in their place. Now they have moved to the right of the screen, windows vista?

    I think you are talking about the task bar that appears at the bottom by default and now its projection right into your Windows.

    Just right click on the taskbar and make sure that the option "Lock the taskbar" is unchecked. Now click and hold your mouse and drag the taskbar at the bottom again.

  • List of places calendar appears behind the window

    Recently, when I create an event in the calendar v8.0 and start to get into a place, the list of proposed locations appears behind the window of the event, so I can't display the entries of the first on the list. No matter where the event is located on the page, and it comes up with new events or by updating an existing event. Any ideas?

    Jac answered my own question but the display if someone else has this problem.

    I use the calendar view to full screen. Toggle mode FS fixed the problem, and he has not returned when return to the FS mode.

  • Satellite M105-S308: silent acoustic CD/DVD icon appears in the taskbar

    I used my Satellite M105-S3084 for quite awhile (year?) when suddenly for the first time a new icon appeared on my taskbar of Windows XP.

    This is the icon for the acoustic CD/DVD Toshiba muffler.

    Because I've never had this icon appears before (and yes I used my CD player a bit), I became concerned about his sudden appearance.

    What is malware? What could arise? Do I need? Can I stop it from running?

    Thank you.

    > Would be - this malware?
    No, it is not malware. This is as designed Toshiba utility. When you listen to music CDs, you can switch to silent mode, and the DVD player runs very quiet.

    > What could arise?
    It is not easy to explain. This utility usually starts with Windows.

    > Do I need?
    No. I am sure that you can live without this utility.

    > Can stop it from running?
    Yes you can. Either remove you it from the startup folder system or check or even entered in the System Configuration utility, under the Startup tab (start run MSCONFIG).

    Good bye

  • Unidentified icon appeared in the Alt - Tab

    Referring to the picture above, the red/yellow/blue icon appeared in my 'Alt - Tab' profile.  Unlike any other icon in the list, it has no description when selected and has no obvious purpose.  Selection, it does nothing.  Everything is linked to does not appear on the Task Manager.  I have no idea why it appeared, or that she can relate to.  So I'm concerned.  Anyone can get an idea?

    This generic icon is usually a window off the screen (the operating system and programs use often, at some point, that you normally have hundreds of them out of sight, tasks and working with the system).  The first thing I would do is just reboot and see if it comes back.

    If she comes back, you can identify it by opening the program MSCONFIG and reseraching the "Startup" tab to find the program that represents.

  • 'iPhone Messages' icon appearing in the Dock

    I experienced this with Yosemite as well.  Don't remember what level it is resolved, but things were fine until I upgraded to El Capitan.  The 'Message' icon won't stop appearing on the left side of the bar on my Dock.  I did the following on the advice found in searches:

    -Open iMessage and disabled my account (this is what all our mobile devices are connected using)

    -Open system preferences... Notifications, click on "Messages" on the left pane, select 'None' and unchecked all boxes to 5 check

    -restarted

    Inevitably, as soon as a member of the family gets a text, the "Messages of the iPhone" sticker reappears.  It's ridiculous, and it's maddening.

    I hope someone has a solution...

    Thank you

    Hmm, this is interesting because it is usually an enabled icon who lives not in the Dock will appear on the right side (before the divvider).

    And you clicked the control icon > remove the dock and he comes back?
