  • Impossible to customize the taskbar, grayed out notification options

    Hey,.

    I have a problem with my taskbar and I need help.  I feel really uncomfortable messing around with registry keys and others, but I think that's how this problem was posed on Vista.  Can someone help me?

    After one of the updated Windows Update, my volume icon disappeared from the task bar and I had to uninstall the drivers.  Windows reinstalled the drivers, and the icon was back.  During this operation, however, I noticed that I was not able to customize the taskbar, because all the options are greyed out and I couldn't change the settings.  In addition, the wireless icon passed useful for wireless connection to a useless fork/tv screen with an 'x' graphic below (although wireless remains the same).  If someone could guide me through this, I would be grateful.  I'm not much more with computers and that any Vista upgrade to Windows 7 has been boring.  My computer used to run fine, but now it is slower to start and to run programs.  If someone had additional help on this subject, it would be a much appreciated bonus.

    Thank you

  • How to separate related windows on the taskbar in Windows 7

    Hello

    I've upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 and were able to customize the taskbar so that it works quite the same as Vista. However, I have trouble finding a way to change "windows" of being grouped as opposed to appearing in the order that I opened the. It is a soda of huge time for me because I open and close throughout the day and go back and forth between the last open and the last of them read a lot of docs. They were always at the end of the line, regardless of the type of file, and now I have to browse all the files to find them. It's only a matter of seconds, but it's a whole new way of working which is not necessary and is driving me crazy.

    Can someone offer a guide on how to make this change to my task bar works the way that it used? PLEASE?

    Thanks in advance!

    Original title: Windows I can't click my program on my task bar which is open, it will not appear

    I recently reset my computer Factory

    I have to click a program that is not open in my taskbar for the program to appear on my screen without minimize as it would save time instead to support a bunch of minimize buttons because I need a lot of programs open.

    Until I'm able to have a program such as photoshop and be on Google Chrome, then by simply pressing the photoshop icon he'd jump up on top of my screen that allows me to work a rhythm quicker and more efficient.

    Hello Fweak,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

    According to the description of the problem after performing factory reset you are not able to open the application by clicking on the icon of these applications. Maybe there's a chance that, after the factory reset these application get removed from your computer.

    I suggest you to check whether or not this application is shown in programs and features. If she's not here, so if please install this application once more and then create the shortcut of this application. Then, you will be able to open the application by clicking the shortcut key.

    Step 1

    Check the application in the control panel.

    • Press on the key Windows + R.
    • Type appwiz.cpl in the run box.
    • Now, find the applications that you could not open.

    Step 2

    Install the application if it is not installed and display in the Panel.

    Step 3

    Try to create a shortcut for the application after installation. See the steps in the article mentioned below to create a shortcut.

  • How can I disable the ToolTip on the icons in the taskbar?

    The question is quite simple, but the resolution is not.
    I wonder if really power disable or delete, perhaps even delay so-called tooltip on the icons in the taskbar.
    Note that I don't know of the ToolTip in general, but only those that appear in the task bar when the mouse on them.
    Note also that I speak not of the miniature, which I also already have successfully disabled.
    Now, I'll give you a picture to describe my problem more in detail.

    http://I39.Tinypic.com/4vjl82.PNG

    According to the photo, I speak of the ToolTip that is displayed at the top, or at the beginning of the image.
    The second problem is "solved".

    Thank you in advance for any help people.

    Hello

    There has been several conversations here on this topic in recent years.  Unfortunately, there is no way to disable tooltips or change their timeout value - they are hard coded in the operating system.  Ironically, this was done as an effort to try to reduce the visible distraction (such as bubbles of Notifications being allowed to stay) for a time/frequency max.
    That said, I encourage you to submit feedback page so Microsoft Gets the slot a form they are followed and can incorporate in future versions:
  • Why the ToolTip appears on the icons in the taskbar while I'm hovering my cursor over them?

    The icons on my taskbar are always "hovering on" even when my mouse is no where near them. This led to the convening of the ToolTips and previews sometimes aero that may interfere with the current view of program delivery. What I noticed on this subject, is that it is always the last icon makes my cursor contact with before moving outside of the taskbar that makes the ToolTip or aero preview appear. Is it just a registry problem? How can I fix? This has happened for a while. Reboots don't work. I checked for malware and spyware without any results.

    The blog of the developers who worked on it, said that it is a corruption of the video buffer that it animates to the effect of 'fade away' of the menu item.  This could explain why it happens more so a program that already if interface with the video driver broke down.

    If the latest drivers for your video card don't solve it, you can mitigate it by disabling the animation (so the menu just hard disappears instead of disappear, so nothing gets stuck in the buffer of acceleration).  You could also disable hardware acceleration graphics, but which would be a big performance hit.

  • Is it possible in windows vista to hide the taskbar, but still be able to see the system tray?

    I want to hide the task bar, but then, I don't see the system tray. Is it possible to have the separate system tray?

    Hi arya78,

    It is possible to do the reverse of what you want - to hide some or most of the icons in the system tray bar while leaving the rest of the visible taskbar; However, you cannot hide the taskbar and let only the visible system tray icons because they are part of the task bar and the task bar should be visible so that they are visible.

    Sorry, but this is how Vista works.  If you try to get rid of the section in the taskbar, which shows open programs, it cannot simply be done without hiding the entire taskbar (including system tray icons).

    Good luck!

  • Cannot align the bottom edge of the photo with the top of the taskbar on the H - P dv7-4296 running Windows 7

    I have a dv7-4296nr running Windows 7.  I use a slide show for my wallpaper.  But some of the graphics that I use are not among the standard background images and are not size 1600 x 900 pixels.  I resized them so that the vertical dimension is 900 pixels and the horizontal is not more than 1600 pixels.

    I want to put a text caption simple (usually only one word) in the lower right corner of the image, as close as possible to the lower edge.  Put the text in the image is easy, but he displayed is not!

    The problem is that the taskbar hide the bottom of the image, including the legend.  I can think of two approaches to solve the problem, but have not been able to get either to work.

    The preferred approach is to resize and place the photos so that the bottom of the image is almost exactly in line with the top of the to-do bar and the top of the image is at the top of the screen.  That would allow me to display the entire image with the caption placed where I like it.  I was not able to resize the images and place them in the display to achieve this.  Can you tell me how to proceed?

    The other answer, which is less satisfactory, is to move the legend to the top, so the base line is just above the top of the taskbar.  How far away from the lower edge of the baseline of the text image will have to be to do this?

    Thanks for your help!

    The taskbar are 40 pixels high, so you can see only 860 900 pixels display area.  The simplest solution is to put the pixel text-based line at least 40 of the bottom of the image and use the option Center in the positioning of the image menu.  Unfortunately, this leaves the background pixels 40 obscured by the taskbar.

    A more elegant solution is to resize the image in order to make the vertical dimension 860 pixels.  I use Corel Paint Shop Pro, which has a function called 'Size of the canvas', and I don't know there are similar functions in other paint programs.  Canvas size allows you to add a background (a "Web") and specify the size of the canvas as well as the location of the image on the canvas.

    I make the white of the canvas, 900 pixels high and the same width as the image.  It gives me a bunch of white 'canvas' 40 pixels up and down.  I add the text, and then store the resulting image in the folder that contains the images on my desk of slides.

    It works very well: the taskbar don't obscure than the white stripe, while I can see the entire image with the text placed where I want.

  • How to configure the desktop or the taskbar icon/link to Firefox so 42 or more recent version of Firefox always opens in a 'new private window'?

    I use Linux on my Acer laptop. I want to use Mozilla Firefox version 42.0 or more recent in the 'new private window Mode"always. When I click on the Firefox icon on my desktop or the taskbar, I want Firefox to open in 'New private window' always; no exception. When I click on the tab button or a link, all new pages should always open 'Private window' mode. In addition, I want to know that I am in a private window with privacy mask showing. Your help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you, Amos.

    Hi Amos, assuming you want to get more protection, monitoring, there are a few options:

    • You can customize your firefox shortcut on the desktop or the taskbar to open firefox directly in private browsing mode: right-click the shortcut "mozilla firefox", go to properties, and at the end of the target line that should hold them the way to the firefox program folder add " -private"
    • You can enable protection followed not only during private browsing, but in normal windows as hollow a 'hidden' preference: enter on: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named privacy.trackingprotection.enabled. Double-click it and change its value to true.
    • You can set firefox don't remember history in the menu > options > sign confidentiality in order to always run in private browsing mode. However you will not be able to open all normal windows or record the history and passwords if you have defined this mode: confidentiality, and-not-track browsing history settings
