• Problems of reorganization of the items pinned in the recent Articles from applications menu pinned to the taskbar

  Hello

  Recently I encountered the following problem, for which I can't understand a solution. I have some programs such as Excel and Word pinned to the taskbar, and my most frequently used documents are pinned on the list of recent items of each of these programs (so I mean not the newest items on the start menu menu, but those pinned applications).

  For more than a year, pinned reorganization points on the upper half has functioned well. In recent weeks, however, the reorganization has unexpected results: say there are, B and C and D made the pinned menu recent Articles of Word in that order. When I try to drag the C between A and B, C will be displayed before. Similarly, when you try to drag between C and D B, B will be the last element.

  You, guys, a tip on how work this autour? I guess some kind of "reset" of this feature would be useful, it seems that something was stuck that wouldn't have to be pasted. If it's a browser, I would say that to clean temporary files. Is there something like that, what could I do?

  What I tried:

  * Detach all the elements of the word, and then start again pinning. No change.

  * Menu set start to not maintain a list of recent items, then activated this option. No change.

  * Searched my docs of the user and the registry for a list of the added items. Thought to find a folder of links asc:\Users\Launch\User Pinned\ \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick , but I only found a registry key that looks like containing all these elements in a key chain with some additional data, so that I wasn't not dare delete this reg value enough.

  (Environment: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, English version)

  Looking forward to your advice.

  In fact a solution has been found in http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/officeversion_other-word/list-of-recent-documents-not-showing-up-in-task/8f63be2f-67b0-463e-995e-8274adefdcbe, and it works.

  For me, the name of the file to be deleted in the %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations was 9839aec31243a928.automaticDestinations - ms, but the name can be an id and opposed on various systems.

  The best is to find your file reorganize everything, PIN or detach a file in Excel, or just to open and close a file and then search for the file with the most recent date any time. All the operations described, I suppose, will modify the corresponding file, so all you need to do after this is to sort files by date, to find and remove the latest file, and you can start re-adding pinned items to Excel.

  I have an application that I want to talk through \\server\dir\app.exe, and has default directory \\server\dir

  I make a shortcut to it and save it on the desktop.

  When I right click on this icon, I see no option to "pin to taskbar" or "pin to start menu. When I click on the other icons, I see these options.

• search code pin to the taskbar

  Hello

  I am trying to pin to the taskbar in windows 7, the search box. Is this possible?

  Hope everyone has a great rest of the day * smile *.

  There is no such under Windows 7 deskbar search, because it is moved in the start menu.  At any time, you want to search, just press the Windows Logo on your keyboard, then start typing.  The result is the same as Windows Desktop Search.

• How to get Windows Explorer to pin to the taskbar

  Problem:

  When I right click on Windows Explorer to get pinned and there is no element entrance does forr it pin to the taskbar OR the StartMenu , like most of the other applications in the my system.

  I was able to do on my system to my office, so I know that this is possible.  I got it made the pinned the system now have the problem, that is up to the Microsoft has eliminated the last fixes on Saturday 21 September 12 game that wacked my entire task bar, bar side and scrogged many other aspects of my system!

  I really hope that they actually only has finally fixed the leak of security IE forever with this patch as they promised and not just Fubar-ing of many systems to give the appearance of shutter makes the run with more than one finger! (but that too can depend on which finger gets referenced as I can think that a my system seems to have understood).

  That being said, let's start by skipping the usual diatribe of suggestions of neophytes who Parrot just what is on both boards, blogs and other forums with what I remember, try to address my situation:

  • I tried to drag links "Windows Explorer" and shortened to Windows Explorer to get the fallen on the toolbar.  No go!
  • I tried all the suggestions of registry to Windows Explorer PIN to the taskbar. No go!
  • I searched the registry for any key with PIN or NOPIN on their behalf and found Nothing. Although the PIN search revealed several keys and values with pin drowned in (e.g.ping stri"," myPINing "", Snapine","OfficeVBAHelpinetlHiddenIntl_1033", nausea etc. to height of 3114 hits ad).

  But know the FUBAR occurred, does anyone have the best ideas on how to fix the problem with Windows Explorer so that I can once again pin it to my task bar and maybe my StartMenu too?

  Use search programs and files "windows explorer". When you right click on the link that there it will give you options to pin the taskbar icon or the start menu.

• SimplePass update, icon now always made the pinned to the taskbar

  On my laptop dv6t, I let the software auto-updated to HP install what he wanted to update. After he did, an icon associated with Simplepass is pinned to the taskbar and I can't get rid of it.  Right click and select 'Unpin this program from the taskbar' do nothing.  How can I get rid of him. I want to keep the program. But don't want the icon pinned to the taskbar.

  Then, when I opened Microsoft Excel, he said that a material change has been detected and I have to re - activate. Why would this happen?  How can I keep it from happening. Is it better to just never leave HP update anything?

  I tried something in the sense of what aperez1221 suggested, and it seems to be an acceptable solution. I wasn't sure what you mean by ' unchecking the pass simple site.»  So I opend SimplePass and entered parameters.  I unchecked everything under "activate features and then tried to re - check one by one.  I have determined that only LaunchSite deactivating solves the problem and seems to leave the programme of work as it did before.  So thank you aperez1221 for pointing me in the right direction.

  I don't know what I'm missing out on by disabling LaunchSite.  This solution may not work for anyone who uses the features enabled by LaunchSite. I did not understand what are these features. Seems like QuickLaunch, which allows me to drag a finger to open a program or a web site (in a new browser window). And I can still connect to websites using my finger as well.  Thus, with only disabled LaunchSite, SimplePass plans what he did before and no longer repinned himself to the taskbar.

  I left that open for now in case someone has a solution that requires no LaunchSite, regardless of disabling that does.

• Start menu appears when the letter button two times, reducing to the minimum the games or the theft of focus

  Hey all,.

  I just got a new computer with Windows 7 64 bit Home installed on it.  We have installed a few programs (Google Chrome, steam, Team Fortress 2) but quickly noticed an interesting glitch.

  A letter key is typed twice and held, it evokes sometimes the start menu.  It happens more frequently when you play, and thus minimize the and killed us.  It can also happen outside of a game - my wife had trouble typing a web address, because when she hit 'w-w-w' the menu start jump upward and she just type 'Google' or whatever in local search.

  A few notes:

  • The computer is new.  The keyboard and mouse as well - are the keyboard and the mouse are brand gear xtreme.
  • We have updated Windows from a half hour ago.
  • We have updated the graphics drivers from an hour before.
  • We run avast antivirus and have analyzed malware.  We only visited sites of confidence, since we got the computer yesterday, and the problem appeared the first time my wife ran IE, so I'm doubtful that it is malware.
  • Nothing unnecessary runs in the background - that is if I run TF2, the only other program running is steam that has to work.
  • We tested intensively - the Windows key has not been pressed.
  • The problem may appear when a program runs, but its also duplicable when simply on the desktop is open - double typing and taking much will eventually bring up the Start Menu.  However, the problem is much easier to duplicate and much more infuriating when you play full-screen.
  Thanks for any help you can provide.

• How Power pin to the taskbar?

  Currently, if I want to stop, I have first to move my mouse to the upper right of the screen to bring up the bar, then click settings, then click on Power which shows a stop options, restart and sleep. Power can be pinned to the taskbar (or one of the other points in the settings)?

  (a) an open space on the desktop with the right mouse button, point to new, and then click shortcut.

  (b) to create a shortcut to turn off the computer, type in ' stop/p "(sans les guillemets)."

  (c) click on 'Next', type a name for the shortcut.

  (d) click on "Finish".

  Once the shortcut created, right-click on it and select "Pin to Taskbar". You can also change the icon of the shortcut. To do this, refer to the following steps:

  (a) right-click on the shortcut and select "Properties".

  (b) under the 'Shortcut' tab, click on 'change icon '.

  (c) select the icon that you want, and then click 'Ok' to apply the changes.
