Taskbar not working / "pin to taskbar" option gone

I have a reorganize my taskbar icon of tasks and removed from the taskbar windows Explorer. When I tried to pin it to the taskbar again (slide / move), he wouldn't PIN. then I tried right clicking on the icon to pin and the dialog box "pin to taskbar" had disappeared. now I can't pin anything on the taskbar by using a method at all.

I did the 'quick launch' method to compensate for the lack of a taskbar to work, but I want my taskbar to return. all solutions?

First I would try to re - select the Windows 7 theme:

1. right click on your desktop and choose personalize.
2. click on the theme of Windows 7 .

If this does not work, a fundamental approach to "feature" is to use System Restore to restore your system to an earlier configuration when you caused the problem:

1. Click Start , type System Restore in the search box, and then press enter.
2 choose a restore point that dates to before the change.

I hope this helps.

  • Why my cursor only does not work on my taskbar, or the current window, in Windows 7?

    My cursor will work not on anything except the window I'm randomly or the taskbar

    He will do one of these:
    -Only I would like to click on stuff on the taskbar and when I put the cursor one window, it will not highlight or let me click what whether indoors, except that it will highlight reduce, restore down and out of the buttons but nothing when I click on them, and I can click right-click on the icons and choose whatever options don't appear for the programs.
    -Only allow me to things in the window, in that I currently have a click. I can communicate with anyone inside the window. If I use Google Chrome (which is the browser that I use usually) then if I click on a tab, it will be x on this tab. Nothing on the taskbar will highlight.
    Sometimes one or more of her below will be added with either of the above:
    -It will be as I have a key or something, sometimes it seems that I am now shift, sometimes ctrl, sometimes he does things that seem to do things that would happen if you took several key
    Ex: If I click on something in a program, it would produce a result that seems as if it was the result of a touch and half of a result to hold another half.
    Ex: Ex: when you play the popular game 'Minecraft' if I use a mod to give me a stack of 64, it does give me only one, as if I were a right-click instead of left. Other times when I'm in my inventory, is as I am now shift when I'm not, but it also makes things that normally occur when I hold down the SHIFT key and click.
    -My cursor is randomly as I'm left click or middle clicking.
    -I forgot something
    Resolution of the problems that I tried:
    -J' tried to withdraw using the touchpad and wireless mouse.
    -J' tried to reset my computer (it worked, but the problem is quickly returned)
    -J' I pulled up Task Manager to check some things
    After having pulled up the Task Manager, the problems stopped. but after awhile it started to come back again so I rebooted the Task Manager and it stopped again, but evertime I've done it time that the problems went got short, and now it doesn't work at all.
    -Pulled up the Task Manager and any suspect google looking for background programs (that didn't increase much info, because I have very little knowledge of what the substantive programmes should and should not work.)
    -Looked around, this site (found nothing)
    -Used A Windows virus scan and it have nothing.
    Some system info:
    Processor: Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU T7700 @ 2.40 GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.4GHz

    BIOS: KBC Version 71.3
    I'm sure I left out something, but I really hope that this information will help someone to help me.
    This problem started to happen after a long time using my computer, usually even less time if I let my computer alone for a few minutes
    Now they will not disappear, and pulling up the Task Manager does nothing
    (Sorry for the typos, it got really a lot of time typing and correct what I have, caused my cursor keeps clicking and screwing up my typing)

    Reinstall the driver for the touchpad or mouse wireless drivers

  • Unity Mode - icons in the taskbar on the host do not work as expected for some applications

    In Unity mode, the icons in the taskbar on the host computer do not work as expected for some applications. The following problems may occur:

    1. several icons for a single application.

    2 aero Peek does not work if the application is reduced.

    3 icon moves to the end of the task bar after restoration of the collapsed state.

    These problems make it difficult to work in Unity mode. Here are some details about my setup:

    VMware Workstations Version: 7.0.1 build 227600

    Host: Windows 7 64-bit (all updates applied)

    Client: Windows XP (all updates applied)

    Steps on how to reproduce the issue n ° 1:

    1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

    2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

    3. minimize and optimize Visual Studio 2003. Finally, you should see several icons, each with a different air look.

    When this happens, you can maximize is more than a simple click (as there are a stacked icons). Sometimes, only one of the icons to display Visual Studio 2003 (when testing this now, the other icon displays a portion of the Office of comments). If multiple copies of Visual Studio 2003 are launched, it is difficult to know who is who.

    Procedure reproduce problem 2:

    1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

    2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

    3 minimize Visual Studio 2003.

    4. place the cursor on the icon. You should see the icon in Aero Peek (similar to the Aero Peek look when you use Microsoft Windows XP Mode).

    Aero Peek works great for other applications reduced, such as Windows Explorer.

    Steps on how to reproduce the issue n ° 3:

    1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

    2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

    3. start Windows Explorer in the start menu of the unit.

    4 to minimize Visual Studio 2003.

    5 optimize Visual Studio 2003. The icon disappears briefly and then displayed in a different location (to the right of the icon in Windows Explorer).

    I guess that these issues will eventually with the similar Microsoft products such as SQL Server Management Studio, newer versions of Visual Studio, Microsoft Office (I guess just--I have not tried other programs).

    These questions, it is very difficult to use Visual Studio 2003 in Unity Mode, which is the main application, I need to use the virtual machine. I would love to see these issue fixed.

    Kind regards

    Tim

    Hi Tim, this behavior all boils down to the fact that when you reduce the VS, is not to minimize as windows normally do. VS hides the main window, and then returns to the window in the reduced state.  When the host sees the window becomes hidden, she removes the button from the taskbar to the window of the unit; There is no way of knowing that the window will be re-shown again later.  The thumbnail Aero does not work for the reduced window because the host never saw this window in its normal state, so that the host knows not what are the contents of the window.

    The good news is that you can work around the button behavior of taskbar in Workstation 7.1 by pinning the window VS. In this way, the taskbar button will always be there no matter how many times the window of the unit is shown/hidden. It will not solve the problem of thumb nail, however.

    Looks like your Windows file associations have to dispose. This means that XP doesn't know what to do with files by looking at the file extension (.exe for executables)., .doc for MS documents, etc.

    If you don't have it you, something done for you - most likely malware.

  • I installed Firefox today but it does not open and the icon in the taskbar will not close and I can't uninstall it and the helper does not work either?

    I tried everything I know to uninstall the new version of Firefox. I also installed Aurora beta and it had the same behavior, and I managed to uninstall that. I can't open a browser ff to work on it with the help of a large part of your support information. I click the icon, but it does not start on the desktop but the clock running as Task Manager. I have to end task in Task Manager to close it. I can not uninstall and tried the system restore, but this also does not work due to another problem with my antivirus program.

    The information at the top of web pages bars (which usually include a search bar, buttons link to different pages, ect.) are not usable, whether it is. Nothing can be clicked, dragged, or even a little used.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I opened and closed many pages just to see if it would help. I did everything what I can do.
