  gTranslate not icons. You must select the text, right-click and hover the mouse over the menu item translate... and wait that the translated text to appear. You can also change languages in the submenu, or alternatively via Firefox Tools (Alt + T) > Addons > Extensions, gTranslate Options.

• "Globe / icon" mysteriously takes the place of internet shortcut icons.

  I guess this question is an ongoing thing with other users of IE 8.  Whenever I have create a shortcut on my desktop from a Web site, either more personal websites shortcut icon or I get that I guess being an icon by default, for example a white dog-eared page with an 'E' blue in the Center.  Which should, however, after a short time or even a day or two, the icon changes in this 'blue and green globe' or an icon of the "Earth-like" of the same color or nature.

  In terms laymans, how can it be corrected, get rid of the blue and green globe icon, without having to personally go to change the files in the operating system of my computer.  I'm not and I guess a great many other users, are not a computer expert or a technician and we have enough trouble with this problem of "icon" without adding to our grief by changing orders that we do not know how to correct if something goes wrong.  Microsoft offers a download or maybe a fix for the problem of this icon of switching for those of us who are not so clever programming or to modify these commands?

  Loving Windows 7, but do not love shortcut icons that have a spirit that is clean!

  This problem occurs only on internet icons, although when you click it, you get the web page you wanted the shortcut to bring up, it's just that 'gawd awful' blue and green globe of the Earth that is the issue.

  In the meantime, I found a solution much simpler which does not require a lot of time and patience.  For those who still have the same problem that I once had, read on...

  • Right-click on the offending icon (globe blue and green, etc.)
  • When the window opens click on "Properties".
  • Left click on "change icon".
  • In the upper right corner of the left window click 'Browse '.
  • Scroll down until you see "url.dll.
  • Left click twice on "url.dll," then...
  • Left click on 'Apply' and then left click on 'OK' in the next or the next window and you should have all familiar white dog-eared page with the 'E' blue in the Center where the times "awful gawd" globe once.  I took care of all my blue and geen 'globe icons' last night (27/07/10) and they have yet to return.  Simple, clean and... effective now.

  Thanks for the timely response if I received on this post, it is appreciated. : o).

• Private browsing on right context menu on the shortcut icon of Mozilla's Firefox on MS Win XP

  I am already aware that the Mozilla Firefox browser has the ability to always start Firefox in private browsing mode by putting the brand into its Options on...

  However, I noticed that on MS Win 7 OS, we can run Mozilla Firefox browser directly, by clicking on the right click (context menu right) on Mozilla's Firefox shortcut icon (for example in Windows taskbar and Start Menu) and here are the options available immediately: 'Enter private browsing', 'New tab' and 'open a new fenΩtre '.

  Now, my question is, can I do something that has the same options (or at least 'option to Enter private browsing), is also available on that even just before the track described as on MS Win 7 OS, but the MS Win XP operating system also?

  Thank you in advance for help!
  Best regards!

  Bruno.H.

  Create a shortcut on the desktop, and add the switch to the command line to start in private browsing mode.

• Firefox shortcut icon error after upgrading to 7.0

  I have upgrade my Firefox 7.0, but the shortcut icon is changed not like it used to be, but it resembled an icon of the installer. When I clicked it, it opens Firefox browser very well without any errors. Why is it happening and how to fix?

  Thanks a lot before.

  Try resetting the Windows icon cache.

  • Open the task (Ctrl + Shift + ESC) Manager
  • In the processes tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select end process.
  • Open the file picker via ' file > new task (run) "and click on the Browse button.
  • Type or paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local in the file name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
  • Select the file IconCache.db and use Delete on the shortcut menu to delete the file.
  • After that the IconCache.db has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process through "file > new task" for the job and work the taskbar to return.
  • It is possible that the IconCache.db file is a hidden file, and in this case you must enable the display of hidden files. You can verify that you can see the file before doing above mentioned as follows.

• When I click on my desktop shortcut icons in the new firefox 4 I get a dialog box that indicates that windows does not find that the website

  I have improved the previous version of firefox to the new firefox v.4 and now all the shortcut icons I used with the previous version display a pop-up dialog box that says that windows does not find this website, check the spelling - address - etc. But immediately after this window opens the Web site loads. I tried to load the original site, delete the old shortcut and drag the new shortcut to my desktop, but Firefox always gives me the same message.

• Volume shortcut icon has disappeared from the Vista tray

  Volume shortcut icon has disappeared from my status bar at the bottom of the screen... How do I get it back?
  Seems silly, but I can't find it!

  Hello

  Have you checked the settings in the taskbar and Start Menu Properties?
  There should be a tab named Notification area.

  In this tab, you find an option; Hide inactive icons.
  You can turn off (disable) this device or you can customize it.
  In addition, you can choose which icons should be available and shows even the Hide inactive icons option would be activated.

  In some cases, these options may be grayed out
  In this case, you will need to find a registry key:
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \TrayNotify

  and here you have to delete the keys: + IconStreams + and + PastIconStream +.

• How can I delete a shortcut icon

  My laptop screen is too small for the size of the shortcut icons.  I have a few icons that I no longer use and useful to remove them.  I don't know if removing them, I can access the information.  For example, I want to keep my security information, I just the icon always on my screen - or do I?

  A shortcut is just a pointer to the program or file in question - this is not the program or the file itself.  You can safely remove them without damaging what they are 'in view '. Just be sure that you always know how to view the file or the program later if you need it and it's certainly a shortcut.

  In addition, if you right-click on an empty area of your desktop, and select view, then you can change the size of your icons. This may mean that you don't need to remove your shortcuts.
