Several icons in the taskbar

I have Firefox pinned to my taskbar. Since the update to version 9.0.1 when I click the icon a second icon appears in the taskbar. Both work correctly. The second displays previews tab of the first but not vice versa. I have been through my options several times and can't find anything that covers this. It makes no sense to have icons in double that leads me to believe that something is wrong. And if something is just a little bit now it won't be long until he is very bad. Is this something I did?

Thanks for your suggestion. Topic: config had hundreds of pref and I had no idea what none of them spoke. My grandson has offered a solution that was simple and fixed the problem. I simply click with the right button on the second icon and it pinned to the task bar, and then release the first icon. Problem solved. He thought that it was because the first icon opens a new version of Firefox. Apparently, he was right. Thanks again for your suggestion. Now I know where to hide all preferences.

  • How can I restore my desktop icons and the taskbar icons

    I tried to open a file with a program's .lnk and her was not recognized in the program, and now my desktop icons and my icons to the taskbar was converted into icons for the program. How to get this back? I need to know how to do this in Windows 7.

    [Moved from comments]

    There are some patches for the issue that you siding, but most of them requires registry changes that I do not say that they can cause several other problems. I recommend that you perform a system restore.

    There are two ways to perform the system restore:

    Menu start open, click Run and type cmd to open the command prompt.

    Type CD... to book only c:\.

    Type windows CD then CD System32, and then restore.

    After once, you'll find yourself in c:\ windows\system32\restore >

    Type restrui.exe press ENTER.

    Once the system restore the open window then click on next to select any available restore point.

    This process takes a few minutes to do the restore and please make sure that once this process has begun there wont be reversible and or you will lose all personal data.

    Another way to perform the system restore is to open the safe mode by clicking on F8 at startup and check the option of safe mode, then still a dialog box opens to ask the system restore and then follow the steps above.

  • Close several windows in the taskbar?

    I understand that you can get an overview of open windows on the taskbar and close a window from the taskbar. But, you can close several windows? For example, let's say I have 6 open IE browser windows. I hover over the IE icon on the taskbar and see the 5 windows in preview mode. Can I select and close 3 of them at the same time, or I have to do it one by one?

    Hi Jeff,

    Yes, if you right-click on the icon in the taskbar, for example Internet Explorer, you will see an option "close all windows".  I think it'll do what you're asking here...

    In addition, you can hide, or rather, but in the background by clicking on the "Show Desktop" box on the far right of your taskbar.

    Please let me know if this helps or you need anything anyone else.

    Best regards!

  • How can I disable the ToolTip on the icons in the taskbar?

    The question is quite simple, but the resolution is not.
    I wonder if really power disable or delete, perhaps even delay so-called tooltip on the icons in the taskbar.
    Note that I don't know of the ToolTip in general, but only those that appear in the task bar when the mouse on them.
    Note also that I speak not of the miniature, which I also already have successfully disabled.
    Now, I'll give you a picture to describe my problem more in detail.

    http://I39.Tinypic.com/4vjl82.PNG

    According to the photo, I speak of the ToolTip that is displayed at the top, or at the beginning of the image.
    The second problem is "solved".

    Thank you in advance for any help people.

    Hello

    There has been several conversations here on this topic in recent years.  Unfortunately, there is no way to disable tooltips or change their timeout value - they are hard coded in the operating system.  Ironically, this was done as an effort to try to reduce the visible distraction (such as bubbles of Notifications being allowed to stay) for a time/frequency max.
    That said, I encourage you to submit feedback page so Microsoft Gets the slot a form they are followed and can incorporate in future versions:
  • Unity Mode - icons in the taskbar on the host do not work as expected for some applications

    In Unity mode, the icons in the taskbar on the host computer do not work as expected for some applications. The following problems may occur:

    1. several icons for a single application.

    2 aero Peek does not work if the application is reduced.

    3 icon moves to the end of the task bar after restoration of the collapsed state.

    These problems make it difficult to work in Unity mode. Here are some details about my setup:

    VMware Workstations Version: 7.0.1 build 227600

    Host: Windows 7 64-bit (all updates applied)

    Client: Windows XP (all updates applied)

    Steps on how to reproduce the issue n ° 1:

    1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

    2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

    3. minimize and optimize Visual Studio 2003. Finally, you should see several icons, each with a different air look.

    When this happens, you can maximize is more than a simple click (as there are a stacked icons). Sometimes, only one of the icons to display Visual Studio 2003 (when testing this now, the other icon displays a portion of the Office of comments). If multiple copies of Visual Studio 2003 are launched, it is difficult to know who is who.

    Procedure reproduce problem 2:

    1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

    2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

    3 minimize Visual Studio 2003.

    4. place the cursor on the icon. You should see the icon in Aero Peek (similar to the Aero Peek look when you use Microsoft Windows XP Mode).

    Aero Peek works great for other applications reduced, such as Windows Explorer.

    Steps on how to reproduce the issue n ° 3:

    1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

    2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

    3. start Windows Explorer in the start menu of the unit.

    4 to minimize Visual Studio 2003.

    5 optimize Visual Studio 2003. The icon disappears briefly and then displayed in a different location (to the right of the icon in Windows Explorer).

    I guess that these issues will eventually with the similar Microsoft products such as SQL Server Management Studio, newer versions of Visual Studio, Microsoft Office (I guess just--I have not tried other programs).

    These questions, it is very difficult to use Visual Studio 2003 in Unity Mode, which is the main application, I need to use the virtual machine. I would love to see these issue fixed.

    Kind regards

    Tim

    Hi Tim, this behavior all boils down to the fact that when you reduce the VS, is not to minimize as windows normally do. VS hides the main window, and then returns to the window in the reduced state.  When the host sees the window becomes hidden, she removes the button from the taskbar to the window of the unit; There is no way of knowing that the window will be re-shown again later.  The thumbnail Aero does not work for the reduced window because the host never saw this window in its normal state, so that the host knows not what are the contents of the window.

    The good news is that you can work around the button behavior of taskbar in Workstation 7.1 by pinning the window VS. In this way, the taskbar button will always be there no matter how many times the window of the unit is shown/hidden. It will not solve the problem of thumb nail, however.

  • 10.0 Firefox now creates a new icon on the taskbar of Windows 7 whn launched. Why?

    With earlier versions of Firefox on Windows 7, I got 1 icon on the task bar and I would stay at this icon to go to the program. Now, at the launch of Firefox, that it creates an icon on the taskbar and it is confusing, because I'm used to return to the original icon, except that now it opens a new session of Firefox that I don't want. How to return to 1 icon?

    After clicking on the favorite taskbar icon and firefox opens a "new Session".
    DETACH the old icon and the PIN, then the "New Session" icon.

    Then from this point on 1 single icon will appear in the taskbar.

  • Its icon on the taskbar is not displayed

    Hello!

    Just today my laptop does not show an icon on the taskbar sound as it usually does. If you see in the right corner it usually an icon of the right? but mine is gone?
    Can you help me how to get it back?

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    You can still hear sound on speakers? If so the only problem could be the disabled sound icon in the taskbar. Therefore, go to control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Notification icons of the region. Make sure that the volume icon is not disabled and it will always be displayed in the taskbar.

    If you can t hear you should check the Device Manager. The sound card is listed in the Device Manager?
    If this isn't the case, you must reinstall the audio driver no doubt. You can download the driver from his most recent official website of Toshiba:

  • Pavilion P6207c: Hp mediasmart empty icon in the taskbar and icon missing in hp dock

    I restarted my computer and my HP Mediasmart icon in the taskbar is empty, when I click on it windows says it can't open because that its been moved, renamed or deleted. But the show task up if I right click on it like watch a dvd, listen to mp3's, see, modify or download photos, see modify or download videos. (all links in the task too much work) Then trying to understand the problem, that I thought I could basically icon/link to pull a bit of my HP Dock in the taskbar hoping it would be duplicate and appear in the taskbar. But to the contrary after leaving the dock and release the mouse button, it disappeared. How do I trouble the white icon and pick up the other icon in the dock? I pulled the HP Mediasmart icon directory .exe file and it is stuck in the dock, but it works the same. The original had an arrow below and if I clicked it, a drop-down list with all tasks would come down. With that I pulled from the directory that I have to click on it and then a new bar appears with different icons for each task.

    Well I solved the problem with the taskbar, I downloaded the hp mediasmart smartmenu, went into the directory and PIN to the taskbar. But I still can't one of the docking station will work as before.

    @enimen2 ,

  • Flahsing Excel icon on the taskbar

    I use the report generation tool.  When I open and close a workbook, the flahses of excel icon in the taskbar.  How can I get rid of this?  Thank you!

    You can set the 'visible' reference applications Excel to "False".

    I generally do not use screws report generation, so I hope that you need to change one that opens the reference app Excel and save it under a different name.  I almost always interact with Excel directly using ActiveX, so I do not know what VI you will have to change.

  • Advertising, freezing the icons on the taskbar

    I have a laptop G7. I get this pop up telling me I need to upgrade to flash player pro. I click it off and then it freezes the icons on the taskbar. Those on the office work. I have the icon of chrome from google on this subject or I couldn't get to internet. Any ideas on how to stop this. I can restart the computer and it isn't there and they work until I get on the internet and it appears again and then he freezer them again. I don't want or need the pro version.

    Hi nana4c,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it's a great place to find answers. You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I understand that, after connecting to the Internet, you get a popup telling you that you need to update Flash Player Pro and you click out of it.  Once you have done this, freeze your task bar icons, but continue to work your desktop icons. You have Google Chrome on your desktop and are able to access the Internet after that happens.

    What browser do you initially use to access the Internet?  Try starting with one another, if you do not have the same problem, I suggest to uninstall and reinstall this browser at the origin of the problem.

    If you get the same result with another browser, try the following steps.

    Go to the command prompt and do a right click on it and select run as administrator

    Type sfc/scannow, and then press on enter

    It will look for corrupted files and try to fix them.

    I hope this has helped.
