Some of the program icons are blue and yellow shield in Windows 7

What is the blue and yellow shield on some of my icons of programs. I can't understand how to remove the icon.

Items with the shield need administrator privileges to run.  Most of these things will give a UAC pop-up or must be performed by right click and choose 'run as administrator '.  I don't know of a way to remove the shield, but I've never tried it myself.

    Hello

    This could be a normal behavior if all of these programs require administrator privileges to run.

    Try to double click these shortcuts to see if you get the user account control window.

    Let us know.

    Thank you for using Windows 7

  • Some of the taskbar icons are blank sheets

    Some programs such as Internet Explorer, MS Outlook 2007 and iTunes are on the taskbar as blank sheets. I tried to place shortcuts on the desktop and go into properties and change icon. It has worked for other programs but the button change icon in these programs are blackened. Tried to enter the path to the programs without success.

    Is there anyway to make the icons for the programs show?

    Thank you!

    I have this problem, had to do a hard reset because of the loss of output video/media center crash on restart my Firefox Firstclass & icons are now leaves white, very annoying. Delete iconcache.db fix does not work. I was able to restore the icon to exe files, but the icons pinned Taskbar & Start menu, items do not update.
    My dose is as follows:

    Step 1:
    click Start > right click on the program in the start menu > properties > Shortcut tab > change icon > Browse (go to exe for this program) > select exe file > open > choose appropriate options icon. > ok > ok > if you get a message saying that only an administrator can do this, click on continue to apply the change.

    Step 2: start a session application & while it is running to right click on the taskbar icon > detach this program > new right click (watch now icon because it represents the application running, not the shortcut) > pin this program

    I'm not a fan of the new taskbar of the mac either style, it open & navigate several sessions of programs is tedious, especially when the previews seem to almost identical & if different programs use the same icon he adds to the confusion. Y at - it an option of the 'Classic' taskbar somewhere like the classic view for Control Panel, that they used to offer?

  • Blue and yellow shield

    The appearance of the shield would perhaps mean that someone else has damaged or not supported my administrator privileges? This image appears next to some sources of wi - fi area, and there are programs such as Windows Error Reporting is no longer usable by the hot spot of the internet that I use.

    The shield simply indicates that the button/link at the side there is a link that only system administrators can use.  It does no harm to come to your computer.

    However, this error you get when you try to use programs?

    If the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  • The computer says to run chkdsk b/c the program files are corrupted. When I run chkdsk/r, it indicates that the NTFS is locked and I have to restart to run chkdsk. When I reboot, the chkdsk never runs.

    Recently, I started my computer and noticed that a bunch of files are corrupt, and left most of my shortcuts.  I went into Program Files and discovered the entire file completely empty.  The computer says to run chkdsk b/c the program files are corrupted.  When I run chkdsk/r, it indicates that the NTFS is locked and I have to restart to run chkdsk.  When I reboot, the chkdsk never runs.

    My wife has all of its graduates work on the computer, I backed up since then, but I try to avoid doing a restore of the entire system.  Can you help me?

    I am running Microsoft XP.

    Sorry to hear that you are having problems with your XP system.  For XP support please visit the link below
    http://www.Microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?DG=Microsoft.public.WindowsXP.General

    Also, try to start the computer in Mode safe.
    When the computer is switched on 1, start pressing F8 until you get a menu of Windows startup, choose Safe Mode.

    Sounds like something important happened (corruption).  If you have important data there (for example, your wives, diploma work), I would strongly suggest taking the computer to a qualified technician so that they can recover data out of there before the drive goes down or the o/s is too damaged.

    Good luck

    I bought a Toshiba L300 29 X for my daughter (30 years) help in its work of the University.
    Since we took this home and installed the OS it is questions. At first, I thought it was to do with Vista and so I bought the upgrade to Windows 7 and installed, but the same issues are there it just freezes when you use some of the programs installed.

    I tried restoring factory several times with Vista and still once I even made restoration to the first State to install W7 disk then updated from the web and then she still uses it for his United work and it freezes.

    There is nothing wrong with his work United as when using my laptop or even its partners a there aren't any issues or problems.
    Programs are in Office 2007 and it is the same copy I have in my laptop and they are both up-to-date.

    Can someone out there suggest a possible cause or same difficulty for am I at the end of my knowledge on this issue and my daughter is about to throw the thing out the window.

    Hello

    I think that the described issue could be related to a hardware problem, given that the laptop should not have problems running the Microsoft Office applications.

    In many cases, the s for laptop system could freeze due to a higher temperature.
    My girlfriend repeatedly asked for help because the laptop froze too.

    But the problem was linked to a higher temperature because cooling fans were clogged and cooling fans might not work correctly. She used the laptop sitting on the couch and there was not a lot of free space around the laptop to ensure good air circulation

    I want to say is that there are several reasons for such behavior annoying cell phone I think it would be wise to check the hardware first
    This should be done by the technician of the ASP.
