Some open programs appear as separate icon, but some don't

Hello

Among the programs that are pinned to my task bar create a storage icon in the task bar while they are open - this was the behavior up to Windows 7. However, most of my programs which are pinned in my taskbar does not create a second icon, while they are open.

For example, there is an icon for FireFox on my taskbar. I click on it to open an instance of FireFox. It is open, its icon will 'only' is highlighted, but there isn't a second FireFox icon.

However, if I click on the Safari icon that is also in my bar task, it will appear as a second icon of Safari which is always displayed to the right of the icons that are pinned in my bar tasks.

Like I said, this is the normal behavior until Windows 7 while most might be thinking this is normal but I like this new behavior of Windows 7 where the icons of open applications are highlighted as opposed to cluttering my taskbar with "redundant"icons."

My question is how do applications behave like any other?

Thanks for your help.

Sam

P.S. I have also observed that the 'old' behavior seems to occur only with the Apple software i.e. Safari and iTunes. Thank you

No, no, I'm sorry because I don't understand the point = P. Now I get the thing. Sorry for the previous posts, I have not the thing.

For the No. 1 behavior is normal, as the icon pinned to the start highlites.

#2 behavior: You click on the Safari icon, and will appear another icon, right?
Try this: click on Safari. When it is opened, right-click on the icon that represents the open Safari (not the one that represents the shortcut). Click on pin this program to the taskbar. Then pin the shortcut to the taskbar. Try the same thing with iTunes. If this does not work, try adding (PIN) of the program to the taskbar for all programs in the start menu.

"I hope that I have now right it your problem =).

  • When I click to open thunderbird but the e-mail window does not appear until the icon shows the app closed, how to fix this?

    To start thunderbird, I click on the quick start on my toolbar icon, it highlights that if beginner, then a few seconds later, returns to the closed state. No e-mail window never appears on the screen. When I check the Task Manager, thunderbird does not appear in the list of running applications, but one or two processes show running on the Details tab (one first process by clicking on the icon, and then another if I right click and try to open one of the windows in option). I am running Windows 8.1. It worked well earlier in the day, so I have no idea what happened past. Restart the PC does not help the issue. How can I get the windows thunderbird appears on the screen again? If I can't, please send the instructions to backup all the associated email and address profile information so I did not lose anything... then uninstall and reinstall thunderbird and restore all the info related to my current profile. Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply... still not sure what happened, but I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling bird t. Everything is back to normal after that. So your solution can work, but I don't have the chance to try it. My solution, but is not ideal, was effective and the problem was solved.

    The problem might actually be an add-on or another program to the origin of the problem and you should check that
    1st.

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER on it
    machines, including those that you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

    Start - all programs - Accessores - system tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security - reset all Zones by default level - apply / OK

    not better?

    Close IE and try again IE or IE with no Addons

    IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
    "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

    Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
    are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

    Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
    are bad, but some can cause your question. (Toolbars are BHO)

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
    Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie, and then run it as a scanner.

    I would add prevx so.

  • 'open with' appears when you try to open or to download the elements and fails to open programs

    I think I had a viral attack about 4 months ago and since I experienced these problems:

    ' 1. when I try to open some programs, I get a message that the program is found, i.e. when I click on the ' help and support' the message icon is not found is displayed.  This happens also on othe rprograms.

    2. when I try to download the 'open with' appears, but I can't find the right program to open the file, i.e. trying to download Flash Player, I get the 'open with' box but I am unable to open the program.  Before that happened here for programs and downloads would be automatically opened.

  • How to make the icons of programs appears on the screen of windows 8

    Hi Thunderlight, you helped me with my last request and thank you again now I have another question that you might be able to help me with.  How to make the icons of programs appears on my screen of windows 8?  I had to download the debut8 when I had windows 8 so I would have the appearance of windows 7 until I have to use Windows 8.  And some of my icons of windows 7 on my windows 8, but not all.  How to go on my windows screen 8 tiles?   I now get more usage of windows 8 and use it more now so would like all my original programs that I had with windows 7 on my windows 8 as it is now tile.  I thank you and hope you can help.

    Hi Laura,

    In theory, when you switch from an earlier version of Windows to Windows 8 - as your installed applications are kept by the upgrade process, except those who are not compatible - you should find all your apps in Windows 8.

    If they all do not appear on your start screen follow these steps to pin them there:

    • [Win] + C
    • Search
    • Click anywhere in the top middle of the screen to hide the charm bar

    All installed applications are displayed. They do not necessarily correspond on a single screen to use the horizontal "lift" to bottom of the screen to move to the right / left

    • Right-click on an application, you want to pin to the start screen
    • Click on Pin to Start at the bottom left of the screen

    You are finished. A mosaic of this application is available on the start screen.

    If there is an application, you are sure is installed on your PC and you don't think through the steps made me know - there will be more complex...

    If you install a new application under Windows 8 the corresponding tile is automatically added to your start screen.

    Hope this helps

    See you soon

  • How to separate the launch of the program from the pinned icon

    Hello. I know that Windows 7 taskbar has combined the program to start in the pinned icon.

    I want the reverse. I saw the solution somewhere online but can't seem to find it now. So I ask here for help.
    (might have something to do with the target address the properties of the icon of the editing program).

    I have the Itunes icon made the fallen on my taskbar. Whenever I click on it to start it, it opens in the icon. I don't want that. I want the pinned icon to stay as a pinned icon and the program themselves are launched on its own. [(J'ai déjà choisi ne jamais combiner dans ma barre deles de tâches, encas de paramètres que vous voulez poser, mais cela n'est pas liée à cette question)]

    Please help :) Thank you ~.

    OK, finally found the solution.
    This is to create a shortcut and change the path add 'explorer' infront and remove the ""
    change the icon the same regardless of your program, then PIN to the taskbar.

  • Some of my pinned programs give the default icon

    Some programs make their appearance as the icon by default, when I pin them to the taskbar, or right click on them. These programs are Skype and driver Booster. I just reinstalled windows 7 so it could be just a problem with Windows or the program.

    I decided to modify icon properties to a booster of icon and the driver downloaded Skype.

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    -

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    -

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    `

    When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.
