See all power plans 3 on the system tray

Windows 7 is better than Vista in many ways, but it's actually much worse in other countries. For example, choosing the power management in the system tray.

In Windows Vista, you may click on the battery meter and a choice of 3 plans: High Performance, balanced and power saver.

Now, for some silly reason, Microsft has decided to limit our choices to only TWO plans of the system tray: your plan current + balanced (balanced is selected according to me, it is defaulted to energy saving for the 2nd). Change the 3rd one I actually click on "More power Options" and then select the plan.

Microsoft is that you have to take additional measures to do something that was easier before. I thought that the mantra of Windows 7 has been "making things faster" (e.g. Jumplists, Aero Peek, accelerators, etc..) Who is the fool who made this decision, and how do I get my GED style Vista power return?

UH maybe if you read my original post (or use Windows 7 itself), balanced is ALWAYS shown, even if it wasn't your plan 'old '. If you switch between energy savings and high performance, which is what I want.

What happens if I deleted the balanced power plan? Is there a way to delete the default plans?

Yes, there is a way.

  • Power Guard icon repeatedly disappear from the system tray

    Original title: WINXP Pro s ver.2002 / SP3.

    I have WINXP Pro s ver.2002 / SP3.  The power icon keep disappearing several times from the system tray?  I have restore but when I restart the laptop, they're gone. This also occurs in the Volume icon at the same time. Do not remember what has been loaded or were able to do.  This fine all worked until the day. Now I have to live with almost a one-time problem by sinister using the sound properties and uncheck, Power Options apply and then check, apply the box "Show icon in the taskbar".  I tried some fixes automatic Microsoft (I think) Web site but no real chance in the long term.

    Hi JayBregand,

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         Who are the automatic patches from Microsoft have you tried?

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: Try to add the icon again and the Coachman. If the problem persists you can read the following article and check.

  • All the sounds that are specifically related to the Microsoft system works not-missing the system tray volume control and Accessories Entertainment empty folder.

    I have no volume control icon in the system tray and my Accessories Entertainment folder is empty.  I can play the sound through iTunes and VLC media player but is no longer the Player Windows Media can play CDs or mp3 files.  I have more Microsoft system sounds and the sounds of a large number of online streaming sites no longer play unless I can their route via iTunes or VLC media player.  Windows Media Player says missing codecs if I try to play mp3 files.  I have upgraded to Windows Media Player 11 to see if that would bring codecs, but without any result.

    My problems were not related to the missing CODECS.

    I knew the sound on my system was basically correct, given that I was able to listen to free VLC Player I downloaded to replace the Windows Media Player while he was not working.

    However, the solution to my problem of noise was really simple, but the answer was just very complicated track.

    I noticed that a lot of the chatter about similar problems on other forums was related to Adobe Flash Player.

    I had recently upgraded to the latest versions all Adobe products on my system.  I didn't make the connection that Adobe software could affect all the sounds of Microsoft.

    Finally, after doing a Google search on Adobe Flash Player issues, I found a partial solution:

    Here's an exact quote:

    Very well, the problem is really the wavemapper mapping in the registry of Windows such as reported by a member of the forum.

    All you have to do is to open the registry editor by going to start menu, run, type regedit, then Enter.
    After that, in Registry Editor, navigate yourself in the left pane until you reach

    My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32

    And then in the pane, right-click and click New, select string value, enter "wavemapper" (without the quotes, of course), ENTER, enter "msacm32.drv".
    Come in.

    Well, of course, it didn't work the first time. I received this message:

    the Registry Editor cannot rename the new value #1. The specified value name already exists. Type another name and try again

    I was puzzled for a while, until I saw someone in the forum with a similar problem mentioned that they had found a fix for this problem by granting permissions subkey. This led me to Google search for registry permissions.

    After that here, that's what I had to do, and although it seems that a lot of steps, it's really very simple:

    Once I had reached the drivers32 registry entry I pointed out the entry in the right pane. Mine said (default) REG_SZ (value not set). I then clicked on change on the Bar Menu and clicked on permissions on the menu drop down.

    This opens the permissions for Drivers32. I highlighted at the entrance of the Administration and click the Advanced button.

    This opens the "Advanced Drivers32 security settings. I made sure that I was under the permissions tab in this window. I noticed that the box called "inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here"was checked. Yet once, I did ensure that the entrance of the Administration has been highlighted and then I clicked on the button change.

    This opens the "permission for Drivers32 entry. I chose "this key and subkeys" apply to: falling to the bottom of this window. Then, I checked the full control checkbox. I clicked on OK.

    I clicked on apply advanced Drivers32 window security settings.

    I clicked on apply permissions for Drivers32 window.

    Once that I had done it all a lot more entries appeared in the right pane for Drivers32 including my wavemapper entry. This is where all along; Quite simply, there is not all the permissions to do anything, including being in the registry pane.

    I left the registry and now all my sounds are back and the volume icon is once again in my system tray. Who would have thought?

    Hope this helps someone else.

  • Need to backup all programs and files without the System Image

    Hi all

    Recently, I myself in a dilemma. I installed 4 additional disks with the intention of creating a RAID volume supported by the BIOS. To do this, I need to change the BIOS setting of the controller which includes all the volumes, including my boot drive (that I don't intend to RAID). The problem I have is that when I pass the UEFI to RAID controller, Windows Recovery will not use the System Image I did. He said that the volume was created under a different arrangement (Bios vs. EFI).

    What are my options? Is there a different backup setting, which allows to keep all my installed software? I am not concerned with the data that I can copy it to an external volume, but it would take several days to get all of my software reinstalled. I would like to avoid this. I guess I'll have to reinstall Windows Pro 8.1 and then use a backup program to restore everything. If this is the case, then I need to know which backup program will work. If there is a better way, I would like to know. I see my options in the form, get another backup program, get a map of controller for the boot drive or the RAID volume or just reinstall.

  • Is it possible in windows vista to hide the taskbar, but still be able to see the system tray?

    I want to hide the task bar, but then, I don't see the system tray. Is it possible to have the separate system tray?

    Hi arya78,

    It is possible to do the reverse of what you want - to hide some or most of the icons in the system tray bar while leaving the rest of the visible taskbar; However, you cannot hide the taskbar and let only the visible system tray icons because they are part of the task bar and the task bar should be visible so that they are visible.

    Sorry, but this is how Vista works.  If you try to get rid of the section in the taskbar, which shows open programs, it cannot simply be done without hiding the entire taskbar (including system tray icons).

    Good luck!

  • Why do I see all of my passwords without the master-password with database synchronized with the PC who lit master-password?

    I use Firefox with Firefox Sync on different PCs and master password is set early when I started to use Firefox.

    Today, I installed Firefox for Android, allowed in Firefox Sync, open the Connections tab, "Show password" button waiting for my master password entry form and... I saw my password. And all the others.

    The password has never been typed on the keyboard of the Android. Firefox has never been installed on the phone before. How is that possible? Firefox stores my master-password in the web? It is very very bad. Now, those who steal my sync account can see all my passwords even without the master-password.

    Firefox for Android has no knowledge of the master password set up on your desktop Firefox. By pressing the button display the password displays the passwords.

    If you don't want to use a master password in Firefox for Android, you can implement that. Click the 3 menu point in the upper right corner, select settings, select privacy, select password main use and then choose a password.

    Passwords are encrypted before sending them to the service using your password synchronization Sync Mozilla's. The only data that Mozilla's Sync is fully encrypted and Mozilla or another party cannot decipher. When you connect to the synchronization of the encrypted passwords are downloaded and decrypted locally.

    If you want the details there is a ton of documentation to https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-auth-server#firefox-accounts-server follow the links several first for depth in explanation of the service.

  • No display in the system tray

    Yes... I do not have the sound display in the system tray where I normally see how strong the tones are when I adjust with the little weel on laptops from toshiba for the volume (simple, but good idea ^ ^)--i do not know why I see TI - if I click with the right button on the other system of symbols and go into the settings for them , I see, I have enable all (from 4) symbol system, except the volume symbol, who is nicknamed more gray, so I can't take it I see it in the system tray!
    How can I re-enable? (I also try a system recovery and search in the service-i do not get this button in my taskbar!)

    Hi mate,

    usually you will need to go to the audio properties and there is an option (check box) where you can check/uncheck the 'volume control see in the status bar"or something that sounds similar. : D
    This box should be ticked, and you have to press 'Apply '.

    That's all, there is no other options, just the one in the audio properties.

    Do you have sound?

  • Satellite1900 dull display at startup of the system + lack of functions in the system tray

    Satellite 1900-803 OS - XP - Home (SP2) has developed an error at startup, it starts, but has the matte screen (the equivalent of the lowest screen brightness setting) and a few icons missing in the system tray in the task bar, (ie. icon remove a security device, mousepad icon & hide the unused icon button), only fix I found is to do a system restore , that everything returns to normal, icons etc, restored once the screen not more problems occur even after hibernation, (restore point should be a point of automatic system generated manually created)

    Have you checked the drivers to display, bios updates, control panel in utilities to display etc., all seem correct and up-to-date, can anyone help, I checked the forums but not found anything similar, I checked, the reset screen FL inverter connections, but no change, dysfunction on AC or battery.

    Hello

    I read a few topics on missing icons in the system tray. It seems that it s is a windows bug.
    Please check these messages from the forum:

    Maybe it helps.

    I can t say too much on the matte screen. Of course, if the Fl inverter is dead the display appears dull but you issue sounds a little different. The problem doesn't persist all time. That's why I think that it s not a frequency inverter. Usually, the Toshiba power saver is responsible for the brightness of the screen. You should check the settings of the single power supply modes. Maybe you switched between different modes of energy and the brightness of the screen has also been changed.

  • HP Envy 5660: yellow triangle in the system tray

    I have a yellow triangle that appears at the bottom right of my screen - in the system tray - on top of the blue question mark HP.   I can't get rid of it.   It's the same thing every time - there are two errors (Windows and iOS) telling me that my printer is not on the network.

    My printer works fine.   It will scan, copy, print, and send emails.   It is not a problem.   It is true that I turn it off for several days at a time, but I don't like to waste energy.

    I followed the instructions in the Windows message three times.   The triangle back in an hour or a day.   I do not receive messages on iOS, because I use this system on a Windows computer.

    This triangle is present - continuous - for the last six weeks, I just tried to ignore it, because there seems to be nothing wrong with the computer and a diagnostic printout tells me the e-mail address computers and said that things are fine.   The way I use my printer, it works fine!

    I just want to lose the triangle!

  • RESOLVED: The Task Manager icon in the system tray

    I always keep my task manager running as an icon in the system tray.  After an update of software that seems to be an update of Windows XP or IE7, I can minimize is no longer my status bar task manager system; the icon is no longer present.  I have not changed the settings view in the Task Manager bar; they are all checked.  Now, I have to keep the Task Manager minimized in the taskbar instead.  [None of the taskbar settings were changed to icons in the system tray as I downloaded the SP3 for XP over 3 years ago.]  Could it have been caused by the update or y at - it a way to get the Task Manager to reduce in the tray system again?  Thank you.

    I tried all types of features troubleshooting before coming here, including a full analysis of the antiviral software from my system & checking event viewer.  I even went in the registry to see if something happened to the system tray.  BUT... The action to be performed by the most obvious and which should have been the first, I failed to do - restart.  Due to an another software update of my antiviral package yesterday, 22/02/2012, I needed to restart.  After the reboot, the Task Manager icon returns to the system tray and minimization has not caused to disappear.

    The only thing I can conclude is that something has gone wrong during the update of the software of MS Windows and installation of KB2660456, KB2647516-IE7, & KB2661637.  It was the only thing that happens so that I was with MS Paint, no browser was opened or other software packages on except what is necessary to update the files over an internet connection.  To take a hit to what it was exactly would be silly because any number of operations might have bothered with or temporarily created a small problem with the properties of the view Task Manager.

    So I chalk it up to did not not the most basic 'Fixer glitch", reboot, in my haste to find a culprit.  I hope that my blunder will remind others not not forget to start with the basics for sudden failures troubleshooting.  Thank you for your time and your advice.

    [I'm sorry; [I broke each problem statement rule with this post by do not detail what I've done, this system that I have, and what software I use and their versions.]

  • Update icon is missing from the system tray

    Salvation Windows XP experts,

    My "Automatic Updates" is set on "download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them", but several times I don't get the icon in the system tray, and it is until I want to shud down my laptop when I get the message "click on disable to install important updates and turn off your computer. , and if I work on the batteries, I don't even get this message. Sometimes I change my setting "Notify Me but don't automatically download or install" hoping that icon will appear, but it's not.

    Recently, I have been informed of the 2 updates to download and agreed, but they got downloaded the icon has disappeared... and when I lock my PC, I got this message because I have new updates have been installed, I clicked on the button "turn off". I was surprised when I saw him on the screen saying 1 of 1 updates is being intalled! I pressed the power button until it exploded and then restarted, it, went into the folder Windows to know he was installing the single update, is not one of the 2 updates that I accepted on! What a f * ing system?

    What can I do to see what updates will be installed on my PC?

    Thank you

    Hello

    If I understand well, you have a little problem with the 'automatic update' - in particular with the notification in the system tray icon. The icon does not appear in the system status bar when updates are ready for instalation - does?

    There is a similar but opposite problem - system "Auto update" displays the icon in the system tray – as they may be new updates installed, but the updated window does not update after clicking on the icon in the system tray:

    http://www.eggheadcafe.com/Microsoft/Windows-Update/29682120/Automatic-Update-icon-stay-on-system-tray.aspx

    So, this has been resolved by removing the "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" directory "C:\WINDOWS" folder

    (before deletion was stopped the service "Windows update").

    What you can try:

    (1) this Fix IT (full reset Windows Update components - including registration of libraries, to rename files ...)

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058/en

    2) install the latest version of the Windows Update Agent (for good communication with the WWW of Windows update server)

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/949104/en

    3) only recommend - install the latest IE (IE8) (Select language)

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=43

    (4) this Microsoft Genuine Advantage diagnostic (I hope that will be the pages of the SITE in English)

    http://www.Microsoft.com/genuine/diag/

    I confess that I have not read previous answers (PA bear MS MVP) in detail, it is possible that you've already tried this. However, I tried this, if I had similar problems.

  • In Windows 7, icons in the system tray / notification look area low resolution

    Here's a screenshot of my notification area / system tray (whatever it's called now) flying:

    As you can see, for some programs look systray icons very low resolution and just plain bad.
    I have reviewed the icon for the executable file of these programs and has determined that all of the resolutions of the icon is available (256 x 256, 48 x 48, 32 x 32, 24 x 24, 16 x 16).
    I tried to correct the problem by placing a custom in the program directory file app.ico.
    Nothing seems to work.
    The resolution of my monitor is correctly defined in the display settings.
    I talked to other users of W7 using the same programs and they report that the icons look very well for them.

    I'm running a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate on a Lenovo T60 with a 'landscape' theme Windows applied (IE no programs custom theme or something like that).
    As a result of this issue, maybe someone could tell me what use the resolution of the Windows icon in the system tray?
    Thank you

    in fact you don't have to restore your system, because maybe you have already lived a few weeks with the problem.

    It worked smoothly for me.

    -load a default theme
    -check the advanced appearance settings
    -compare the number of dimensions of each element with the decimal version of the 'size' on

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Appearance\New Schemes\Current SaveAll\Sizes\0 settings

    -There should be two numbers that do not match (for me were 21 on dialog appearance and 23 in the registry, twice).
    -Double-click on the registry value and write what you have on the dialog edit the data type decimal.
    -Repeat for the other incompatibilities
    -close the registry
    -Start the Task Manager
    -complete the process explorer.exe (Don't panic)
    -menu file, new task run explorer.exe
    -Close Task Manager
    -smile

  • Equium A60-191: application control status of the battery in the system tray?

    I had to reinstall XP. This has caused the loss of pilots and probably other things that I don't know.

    One of the elements lack seems to be the software or driver? for the battery. The battery is cooler at full power. The software located in the system tray used to indicate the power status and if it is ac or dc connected.

    Any suggestions that I need and where I can get to fix this, please?

    Hello

    I know you don t need the drivers or software for charge the battery to full power. Only what you need is the Toshiba Power saver utility.
    This utility is very useful because you can set different power for portable use different modes. For example, if you disconnect the laptop computer of the energy-saving AC adapter will automatically switch to the mode of energy that has been configured for the use of the battery.
    These methods help take care of the battery and increases battery life and it shows a battery status in the taskbar
    But there is nothing to recharge the battery witch.

    In my manual, I found a lot of info on the battery and how to manage the use of the battery. I think that the same information you will find in your user manual. Check it out.

    The last possibility is a malfunction of the battery.
    But in this case only a battery replacement will solve your problem.

    If you want you can try to check if the same thing happens with the new battery.
