• How can I get rid of the little blue box on file Vista icons?

  How can I get rid of the little blue box on file icons? Like the shortcut symbol, it is in the lower left corner. It's a solid blue rectangle with 2 white "" superior to "sign, as to point to the right." He appeared on the recently created new files, MS Word and jpg photos. I find a nuisance when you try to view photo icons because it hides part of the image.

  -What is it?

  All your windows updates are installed?  Try to clean the Windows thumbnail species.  I think use Adobe the OS dialog for features like open file. Also, to get thumbnails for RAW file PSD files, you will need to install codecs in windows. I use the fastepictureviewer codec package. What version of Windows are you using the dialog box look like a windows problem.

• What does the gold padlock at bottom left of the average of a file icon?

  What does the gold padlock at bottom left of the average of a file icon?

  I found the answer, not obvious at all.

  As above the possession and the permanent don't always hack.

  Here's HOW

  RT-click the folder
  Properties
  Securities
  Advanced (bottom) button

  I assume that you already have around the House - your account name must be it Iif not, do it)

  Highlight the name of your account, for example Chris

  At the bottom of the box there is an option under silence (in all these multiple responses of others)

  CLICK REPLACE ALL PERMISSIONS OBJECT CHILD WITH PERMISSIONS INHERITABLE FROM THIS OBJECT

  It ticks

  Click OK

  and under your eyes, all the gold padlock disappear and the thumbnail of the file becomes visible instead of a white icon.

  VOILA

  I have a great graphics, but can't see a way to download it here, rats!

• *.psd file icons displayed does not correctly after the CC 2014 update

  I just installed the new version of 2014 of some applications like Photoshop, Illustrator Adobe, InDesign and so on.

  The only problem was caused by Photoshop.

  First of all, all my default manager lost *.psd files, they were empty and no software was set to open.

  And then when I chose 2014 CC Photoshop as Manager default *.psd THIS happened:

  http://i.imgur.com/iFv9ngR.PNG

  as you can see the icon of the illustrator file is normal, but the *.psd file looks like Photoshop.exe icon and not the *.psd file icon.

  any ideas how to fix? (already tried to empty the cache icon)

  OS: Win 8.1 Pro WMC Update 1 (just making it clear if anyway, it makes a difference)

  I had this problem since CC came out last year and I came across a solution yesterday (finally!)

  This implies external Download program 3rd party, but now I have the correct icons, so I'm pretty happy.

  Here's what I did, if it helps:

  (1) download Default Programs editor this link here.

  2) once you have extracted the .zip file open the .exe and we go.

  (3) this is the first screen, you get...

  

  4) click on the first item "File Type settings" and you get this:

  

  5) click on 'icon '.

  (6) for this example I'll change a file, InDesign icon as I already fixed the Photoshop those. An excerpt from the next screen with the white ghost icon InDesign and yes it works if you have the icon default .exe showing instead of a blank white icon.

  

  7) type in the search box the file extension, you need. In this case because I'm changing the InDesign file I want it to be .indd but you can use for Photoshop .psd or .ai to Illustrator etc etc.

  

  (8) now, the program will ask what icon you want. What you need to do is click Browse and browse to the location of the default for the program .exe you change who will be in the folder Program Files. In this case my location is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC 2014\InDesign.exe

  Once you open that default Programs editor will show the full icon set for this program, as you can see below.

  

  (9) simply select the one you want and click OK. Click the arrow next to the Save icon, and then choose Save in the registry and then BINGO!

  (10) GLANCE! He has worked.

  

  Just need to sort all my other out now, but he receives a helping hand to the top of me!

• Many sites show a grey box asking a plugin but there is no way to know which plugin to install.

  On a new installation of Firefox (new laptop), I have a lot of sites that show a grey box saying that a plugin is required to view the content. By clicking on the box doesn't do anything, so I don't know what it takes.

  Previous versions of Firefox you said what was necessary and has helped solve the problem. (as far as I remember) IE and Chrome work very well on these sites.

  a site is: http://www.allboat.co.nz/

  The site of all THE BOATS using the Flash, and since this is one of the most popular formats of the web, I suspect that a lot of missing plugins are Flash.

  There is a different Flash for each browser control. To get Firefox, try to load the next page in Firefox:

  http://get.Adobe.com/flashplayer/

  Before you download, make sure that her uncheck all the unwanted extras.

• Gmail attach file icon does not work

  Is there a way to fix this? I tried to network.http.spdy.enabled to false. No go. I tried to reset all the settings of ie, a suggestion somewhere, no go.

  Safe mode - does not work.

  This problem seems to be not the case. I can drag files in gmail, but the attach file icon does nothing.

  Attach the icon file works under IE, but I am using Firefox.

  Is there a fix or do I need a new computer?

  In my case, the solution was to let it set while I was sleeping, similar to the way in which the problem was created. I do not recommend this as a solution, but I can say that this is how my problem was solved.

  Before going to sleep, I've agonized all day, trying every suggestion I could find, but all without success. I can't say that has had an impact on the solution or not, but I think dying could be required before this will fix itself. Hard to say, I can't do nothing to cause the problem.

  Good luck and may the wind blow in the back.

• Some app tabs are pinned with just a square box and no icon (picture) inside the same is true for some tabs on the regular toolbar; How can I change these empty boxes to a significant icon?

  Almost all of the tabs in the tabs of the toolbar tools and app have iconic pictures on the left of the text. Since I updated firefox, some now just in the blanks instead of recognizable icons. Is it possible to change the empty box with an icon image and how do I do this.

  The pin tab usually shows what we call a 'favicon' of the site. If the site isn't a favicon, then he is shown as a white square. You can customize your favicon using some extensions or modules. Here is a link:

  1 changer bookmark Favicon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bookmark-favicon-changer/

  2 Favicon Picker 3: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/favicon-picker-3/?src=ss

  Or you can search for additional modules. Just make sure the add-on is available for your version of firefox.

• Impossible to get the actual thumbnail image on jpeg files icon

  Original title: JPeg file icons

  I can not the icon of the actual thumbnail image on my JPEGs, only the jpeg itself icon. I tried to change the size of the icon to adults, as suggested by one of your readers, but which did not help. I also double checked to ensure I have "thumbnail" check in the view menu. I made sure the "always show icons" is unchecked in Control Panel.  Help?  All of the suggestions. I am running Windows XP.

  Hi Mjoan,

  1. don't you make changes before the show?

  Try these steps and check the result.
  Step 1: Check if a non-Microsoft program is the cause
  a. open the article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353
  b. method 2, follow steps 1 and 2, and then restart the computer to see if the problem persists.
  c. If the problem does not persist in the boot, then follow step 3 and step 4 to find out which is the origin of the problem, and once you have found the culprit, uninstall the program and check the result.

  Note: Don't forget to follow the steps in the steps to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state"" section.

  Step 2: We also recommend you scan sfc (System File Checker) to see if any system file is missing or damaged. To do this, try the following steps:
  a. Click Start, click Run, type cmd and click ok.
  b. at the command prompt, type sfc/scannow and press ENTER.

  Note: You will be asked to insert the Windows XP disk, if a file is missing.

• Tiles covered by file icons

  When I open a JPG image file, file icons cover thumbnails.  Sometimes the thumbnails appear briefly, but in order, to cover by icons of file.  I can't find any options to display thumbnails.  View/Folder Options has an option to never display thumbnails, but I have not checked.

  I disabled the cache of thumbnails, but it does not work.

  How can I get the thumbnails to display?
