the computer icon!

I downloaded an image from a wikipedia computer icon because I wanted to use it as my computer icon. Is there a way I can change the file type of JPEG to dll without some sort of software to download? If someone could tell me how, I would be VERY happy! Thank you!

================================================
If you simply want to use the image as a desktop icon... do you
no need to convert it to. DLL. you need to convert is. ICO.

The free software IrfanView can save an image file in the. ICO format.

I know that you do not want to download anything but without software
I don't know how you could convert to ICO.

(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)

Download IrfanView
http://MajorGeeks.com/IrfanView_d4253.html
(filename: iview435_setup.exe)
(uncheck if you don't want Google Chrome)

Download plug-ins too...

IrfanView plugins
http://MajorGeeks.com/IrfanView_PlugIns_d4908.html
(filename: irfanview_plugins_433_setup.exe)

If you decide to install IrfanView... just drag and drop your photo on
the icon for IrfanView and when the picture opens... click on... File /.
Record under / ICO...

FWIW... There are a lot of free ICO files that can be downloaded
from the following site.

  • Cannot find the "My Computer" icon; I have icon "Computer" but it is NOT THE SAME as "My Computer"... Help!

    I'm looking for the "My Computer" icon. I do not have the icon workstation; I made the different "tasks and tips" to supposedly turn on and I DO HAVE ICON CALLED 'COMPUTER' ON MY DESKTOP.  However, 'COMPUTER' is not equal to ' MY COMPUTER ' on this system.

    The 'My Computer', I want TO open a box with the usual File, Edit, View, Favorites, tools, and help under the blue bar containing the words 'My Computer' and the image of the icon in the left corner.   I want to choose 'Tools' that will 'gray out', the 'back' and 'forward' buttons and leaves an icon file with blue-green arrow pointing to the sky, research (with the microscope icon), folders (with the icon files) and a multi-dropdown button in the next line of command icons.  Below, is address, which should show the icon and the words of my computer.  Under the present is called 'Folder Options' box with 3 three topics on the left: tasks system, other places, and details. the first item under details, Workstation should be written in bold black.  On the upper area of the Folder Options, there are 4 four tabs: general, opinion, Types of files and offline files.  In the 'View' tab, I should be able to see the views of folders on top with 2 two buttons (apply to all records and reset all folders) and a list drop down in the bottom; advanced settings one of these subfolders in advanced settings should be: files and folders hidden.  I should be able to select that subfolder and get two 2 options: do not show the hidden files and folders and Show hidden files and folders, I would choose.

    The "Computer" icon that appears is called 'Computer' and opens the box with options to organize, System properties, uninstall or change a program, map network drive, and open the Panel control and it shows different drives on the computer, devices, network, and other information.

    Can someone tell me PLEASE how to access "My Computer"?  And, if it is a really stupid question, I apologize in advance.  But I've looked everywhere I know to look and I'm not.  Thank you very much.

    So the answer to my question is, "Yes, * I * am coming from an older operating system."  (I was wondering if your experience which has been remote or not).

    The problem is that many of the features of the file Explorer (it is really what we're talking about here) / appearance changed with Vista / Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 8.1 in the ~ 13 years since the release of Windows XP you are looking at the example of what it should look like you.  ;-)

    The 'my computer' in Windows XP does not exist (as it was in Windows XP.)  The look of crayola disappeared.

    Once these are the only elements to be activated, click on 'Apply' at the bottom and then click "Apply to folders" to the top of the window and then click 'OK' at the bottom.

  • Unable to resolve the computer names of task force

    My Windows Vista laptop only shows itself as visible in the 'file' network and is unable to connect to other computers manually by typing the name (\\computer-name). My Windows 7 and XP workstations can view each other and the Vista laptop except they can't connect to the laptop (network in inaccessible resource).  All 3 are in the same workgroup and I tried to connect without a firewall as well.  The strange thing is when I try to ping other computers from the laptop, the "host is unreachable" if I ping the computer name, but very good pings if I ping to the IP address. If after the ping of the IP address, I ping the hostname again it pings fine. After that Windows 7, the computer icon visible and accessible and the XP machine is manually (but no icon) for a short period of time. After 5-10 minutes or I stop/standby host names can be resolved again and I have to start with ping them.

    I have no idea why, but I've uninstalled and reinstalled the network card driver and it fixed the problem.

    I do my job to the computer on a MAC book PRO. I want to create a document using Pages and then convert the document to PDF and send a group email. I want to send the PDF using the pdf for each receiver icon must click the icon to open the document. My problem is the document does not show the icon, but rather the document is already open. I spoke with 2 Apple. 'Experts' care and can help me. Can someone tell me what to do?

    It's a question of how the recipients e-mail programs deal with attachments. Many e-mail programs will open all the files they can handle, including files jpg and PDF, by default, and if the recipient has not changed that there is nothing you can do about it. The only solution is to the compress first, then it will be delivered as an attachment, allowing the recipient to decompress and open it.

  • Why do I get the message asking me to allow Firefox to make changes to my computer whenever I click on the Firefox icon?

    When I click on the Firefox icon on my desktop, instead of struggling just to the Firefox page, I get a box asking me if it's good for Firefox to make changes to my computer. If I hit Yes, I get the Firefox page. If I don't hit, I get nothing. What is the reason for this?

    Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

    Hi DianeCosic,

    What operating system or version of Windows do you use?

    We would need to know that in order to help you better.  If you still see the desktop and My Documents on your Start menu, you should be able to recreate the shortcuts by right-clicking on them from there.

    In addition, if something has changed on your computer, you can do a system restore to a previous point before the show began.

    Please, let us know if we can help you.

    Thank you!
