the shortcut for the external drive icons do not appear on the desktop
Running Windows 7 Home Premium. None of the shortcut icons of the program (on my external hard drive) appear on the desktop. Default icons took their place and launch the correct programs when you click it. I tried to change individual icons in the correct program ones, but that they would not. They all used to be there!
I tried to reboot several times but that has not changed anything.
The only program added or deleated recently was free archiver B1. I uninstalled immediately after installing and do not actually use it.
How to bring back the icons.
Bill
Hello Bill,
Two possibilities come to mind. The first is that the program of the archiver to change icons, in which case you will need to reinstall the program, understand how the icons have been changed, reverse the process and then uninstall the program again. Phew. Its a lot of work, but I got a program do just this thing very to my car icons and it's the process that I had to follow to cancel his "practical work"!
The other possibility is that his associates to make it an external drive, which is still not very good with Windows. Lets start with this possibility first. First of all, try this Fix It from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Windows_USB_diagnostics . Not fixed? Try this second difficulty: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/ . Still not fixed? Is the drive recognized by Windows - right disk size / type format?
If the disc itself is not recognized by Windows, try this trick. Download and install the freeware Aomei Partition Assistant application, download it from here http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 - use the link Direct download only. Then once its installed, select the external hard drive, then select Properties. That's it, just by selecting the drive and choosing properties are sufficient to get Windows to recognize the drive.
Now that the drive is recognized by Windows, has the problem of the icon "disappeared"? If the answer is still no, then I think you need to look at the program archive as a real possibility. The only way to know of course is to install the program again and look for a setting (try Configuration) where the program changes the icons of the programs.
Post your results here and let me know how you fare.
Kind regards

External drive icons will not change/update
It drives me crazy...
I have 3 icons from external drive, which I'm trying to customize. The VERY FIRST icon I pasted on them worked as expected, after that changes are all or nothing...
In a specific case, I see the following:
I put the drive on ANOTHER mac, the icon displayed as expected.
I attach the drive to my main computer, the icon shows:
If no other external drives are mounted: the custom 'player/b' icon who was NEVER stuck on the current drive
If "drive/b" mentioned above is mounted: the OLD icon I deleted out of and pasted multiple times more
In short I am the guarantee to see either an icon that was NEVER attached to the car in question, OR the first icon I changed it manually the reader to.
NEVER the drive icon I have several times tried to affect the reader, and that appears on all them Mac says drive is attached to...
And if you're wondering, I rebooted several times and forced leave finder several times all to no effect...
You can remove the stacked icons and revert to the default. Then, apply your new icon.
I find.
opening and in the preview image,
order A (select all)
then copy
then paste the better works.

Why a lock for secure Web sites icon does not appear?
If I use internet exporer as my browser and I connect to an https site a padlock icon is displayed to indicate that it is a secure website. If I use firefox as my browser that doesn't not display the padlock icon
Sorry, I don't think that this problem is related to FavoritesTherefore, the lock is more part of Firefox; It has been removed from Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection, but does not provide any additional information. You could make a typographical error, and have always been connected to a secure connection. The lock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site identity button. Familiarize yourself with the Site identity button at the left end of the address bar:

Should what format I use for my external drive for time machine? I have a WD 2 TB that is formatted for PC new drive. When I got to disk utilities to erase, and then reformat the options are
1 mac OS extended (journaled)
2 mac OS extended (journaled, encrypted)
3 mac OS Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled)
4 mac OS extended (case-sensitive, journaled, encrypted)
See the information below If you can not back up or restore your Mac with the help of Time Machine - Apple Support
When you select a drive to use with Time Machine, your Mac automatically prompts you if you need to reformat the drive.
- If you are using an external drive connected to your Mac, use disk utility to make sure that your backup disk is formatted in HFS + extended (journaled) and is the partition type GUID Partition Table (GPT).
- If you use a time Capsule, formatting the drive for Time Machine preferences automatically formats the drive as HFS + Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled) with a GUID Partition Table (GPT).

Speed dial installs, but the icon does not appear
I used speed dial for a long time, both on my desktop and my laptop, and I really like it. Recently, I got a new office and installed the latest version of Firefox. Everything seems to be working well, but when I try to add Speed Dial, it appears to install correctly, but the icon does not appear in the menu bar. I tried several times and each time I like Speed Dial will be installed after I restarted Firefox. However, by clicking on the button will restart FF, but the icon never appears! What goes wrong, and how can I get Speed Dial to work for me, as it has always done?
