Taskbar problem

I have already in place/use "1-click" icons in my taskbar (next to the Start button).  For some reason, they have disappeared. When I tried to drag anything happens if the taskbar is locked or unlocked.  In addition to programs/files, I also had an icon "Show Desktop". I have no idea how to solve this problem.  Can you help me?

    original title: weird problems of taskbar

    I have a HP Compaq dc5750 Small Form Factor running Windows Vista Business 32-bit with an AMD Athlon 64 processor.

    Whenever I use my computer for a long time, strange things happen with my taskbar. On the top left corner of my screen, it has icons and my status of my Netgear WNA3100 USB adapter and open programs and continues to change, for example: the STATE of the NETWORK, OPEN the PROGRAM, ICONS, * times *.
    It never stops and to restart, I have to press the power button to stop and start.
    Can someone help me please! This is very important, tired to touch the power button and tired of having these problems.
    I will be happy if the problem is resolved.
     

    Hello

    Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    Create a new user account and check if the problem persists, if the problem does not persist in the new user account, then you can fix the damaged user account.

    Create a user account (Windows Vista)

    Screw a damaged profile (Windows Vista)

    • Select the Customize Windows from Start Tune-Up Center
    • Click options preferences and behaviors
    • In the left pane, select system under Administration
    • In the right pane, select special folders tab controller
    • Select "Windows configuration files" in the "Special feature" column in the list, then click on 'change '.
    • Find the folder and click OK when finished
    • Click OK again to save the settings
    [2] method: Using Windows Registry Editor to configure the SourcePath value

    • On the start menu, select "Run."... »
    • Insert: regedit.exe
    • In the left pane, navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft Computer\ My
      \Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
    • In the right pane, double-click the value SourcePath "' which is a string value
    • Insert the desired location, and then click OK to save the settings
    NOTICE: You can change the setting back after you are done after the execution of SFC.

  • Problem of taskbar of Windows 8

    Ive just noticed something and I find it very irritating and hoping that someone knows how to solve this problem.
    If I have 6 tabs open in firefox displays the icon in the taskbar stacked everything behind them. The previous version, I could open many tabs and it would show only an icon.
    It works perfectly on my windows machine with the 36 version 7

    Or maybe you wanted to say this: Firefox can show either every single tab in each window, or one icon per window. This setting is on the bottom of the Panel tabs in the Options dialog box:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > tabs

    Uncheck the box for "Show tab found in the Windows taskbar" to watch only the individual windows

  • Problem opening 26.0 Firefox from the Windows 7 taskbar.

    I have Firefox pinned to the taskbar in Windows 7 on the bottom of my screen. I use a desktop PC. Most of the time, when I click the icon it opens Firefox without any problems. However, occasionally, when first, I turn on my computer and click on the Firefox icon in the taskbar, it gets highlighted but does not appear the little circle and the highlight fades without opening the browser. When that happens, I can not yet turned off my computer without pressing the button on the tower. This happens only the first time that I open the browser in the morning, and it seems to happen every two weeks. Any thoughts on what is happening? I just had a virus removal made, so that shouldn't be the problem.

  • Problems with latest updates Windows (KB) do not install & repeated notifications via the taskbar icon

    Hello everyone,

    In my view, there are many people who seem to have a similar problem to mine, although I was unable to find an answer to one of my questions in this post.

    Description of the problem:

    Although my Windows Update is defined on download & install updates during the night hours every day, the latest updates, KB26333880, KB2572073and KB2518864 are not be installed.  I went to the Windows Update site to check my editing history.  He showed the green/white checkmarks next to all 3 updates.  The record also showed that updates have been tempted 3 times during the night.  After clicking on the button "Express" on the Home Page, the results show 3 above updates, but show "0 bytes', then '0 download time. '

    To me, this indicates that there is no update to download, despite the yellow Shield of Notification of update continues to appear in the taskbar.

    Corrective measures attempted:

    1. I tried to download / install twice unsuccessfully using IE8 and FF (including restarting the computer).

    2. download & run the program MS Fixitattempted, but received a message which read, "an unexpected error has occurred, please try again later." No. error code has seen with this message.  (I could RECORD the program on my desktop... just couldn't run the establishment).

    3 tried to search for the presence of these updates using start > run > %windir%KB###.log (where the # is the individual number of update KB).  Every time - a message appears indicating that the file is not found.

    4 looked at the Add/Remove Programs list (with the Show updates checkbox checked).  No updates KB mentioned above could be found.

    5 with SAS, MBAMand Outpost Security Suite Pro scans revealed no malware/security issues.  (SAS and MBAM are used only as scanners on request).

    This problem with the updates does not download & repeated notifications being indicated in the taskbar has occurred many times before.  On this occasion, I called Microsoft several times before finally, my computer remotely accessible support person and spent about 50 minutes to fix the problem.

    (Also, it is noted that almost every support person I spoke with has always tried to tell me that MS is not help with the problem of this type.)  I had to be rather several in my reply... tell the person that MS IS in fact provide assistance free security-related Windows updates.  They now provide free assistance is unknown). Besides... I have more a phone number for States anyway.

    My questions to the community:

    1. is it possible to download & install these 3 updates?

    2 is there an explanation as to why MS Fixit program will not be installed, and if so, are there certain corrective measures I can take which will allow me to download & run this program?

    System Specs:

    Desktop Dell Dimension 3000 Tower;  WIN XP Pro SP3.  2 GB OF RAM;  3.00 gHz CPU;  Outpost Security Suite Pro.  MBAM Pro (on request only).  SAS (on request only);  SpywareBlaster;  IE8 & FF

  • Windows Vista connected online but not shown on network and sharing Center or on the taskbar, leads to other problems

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 running on Windows Vista, my router modem is a Motorola SURFboard SBG901. A few months ago on this computer, I couldn't see that I was connected online either from right down icon in my taskbar (it shows just two monitors with an 'x', that when you highlight on he says "not connected, you are currently not connected to any network.")  I don't see it on my network and sharing Center which States: "not connected wireless connections are available." In terms of network it shows that my PC and then the line that has an x on him. If you click the x, or select diagnose and repair, he informs me that all is going well with my computer. If I go to connect to a wireless network, it shows that I'm connected to my network ready. I open one of my browsers and they all work very well, I can access any site without problem. I was not embarrassed with him at the time, but since then I moved into a new House and have a new service and everything, with this motorola modem cable. my new wireless network is a network unsecured, which of course, I want to fix it. I can connect to this network, but I can't access it through Windows properties to make sure. I read the manual of the modem, telling me to connect through an ethernet connection and access configuration manager using the ip address of my router on a browser, but which does not charge or the other. I have other devices (Ipod Touch and PS3) wireless I got other people come computers and they all detect the network but cannot connect to it. Thanks for any help.

    Hello
     
     
    I would like to ask you a few more things.
    1. how many network connections you have created?
    2. are there multiple NICs installed on the computer?
     
     
    Since this is a common problem and many users have solved this problem by using different methods.
     
    This can also occur if you frequently use several type of internet connections such as dial-up, Ethernet and LAN.
     
    As the article below also indicates that there could be multiple reasons for the same.
    The network adapter icon incorrectly displays a red "X" in the window management in Windows Vista network connections when the network adapter is connected
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/945925
     
     
    Method 1.
    I ask you to remove any network connection if you have created and then check.
     
     
    Method 2.
    For control please check in mode safe mode with Networking if the problem exists.
    Here's how:
    a. restart your computer.
    b. when the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap the F8 on your keyboard key repeatedly until you are presented with the screen Windows 7 Advanced Startup Options.
    c. using the arrow keys, select the desired option of Mode without failure.

  • Added toolbar folder icon problem when locking taskbar

    I like the feature to allow you to create a toolbar on the toolbar effectively the content of the folder shortcut to different places.  Not sure if this is a new feature of 7, but I just found and take advantage.

    I have two, and I've resized the so that only the text of the toolbar and ">" appear.

    The problem I have, is that when I chose to lock the taskbar, everything is resized, and I get two full or partial folder icons that come into view.  These icons represent the child folder under the folder main toolbar choice.

    As an example, I have a folder called "Source Files" I created the toolbar, so it reads Source files > in my taskbar.  When I lock the taskbar, then I get a partial folder icon to the right of ">" that links to the first folder in the Source files directory.

    Not the end of the world, but sticky.

    Does anyone have a suggested fix?  Something in the registry, perhaps?

    Wow, I'm not, but I could have found the answer to this annoying bug.  It worked for me and I was able to reproduce several times.

    my setup: I have my toolbars crumpled to the left, right next to my Start button.
    with the taskbar unlocked, I moved my whole bar vertically on the left side of my screen, so that my departure the button appears in the upper left corner of my screen and my toolbars align underneath.
    I noticed when I did that I could see partial icons when my taskbar has been unlocked (which wasn't the case when my bar was horizontal at the bottom of my screen).
    I have re-scrunched up all my icons while my bar is vertical, moved my bar together down again once (horizontal) and closed the taskbar.  not more partial icons (at least for me)!
  • 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.

    EM

    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.
