Try to change the appearance of the icon

I've changed several shortcut icons on my desktop with different looks.  However, whenever I access the shortcuts that the appearance is up to the "generic" aspect  How can I stop this from happening?

Hello 4343,

Try to delete all of your history in Internet Explorer. All favicons that are used for Web site shortcuts icons are stored in the temporary internet files.

In Internet Explorer:

  • Click on tools
  • Click on Internet Options
  • Click on delete
  • Select everything you need to remove, and then click OK
Hope this helps

  • where I find how to change the icon size and text ahead of settings (box i.e.message)

    Try to change the size of fonts and text in the TEXT WINDOW WINDOW INACTIVE, ACTIVE WINDOW, AND BOX of MESSAGE.  How in this screen?

    Wilma Griffin

    Change the size of icons:
    Right-click the desktop, point to view, and then click large icons, icons or small icons.

    Tips
    You can also use the scroll of your mouse wheel to resize the desktop icons. On the desktop, press on and hold down the Ctrl key while you highlight the wheel to make icons larger or smaller.

    Change text size:

    You can make text and other items, such as the icons on your screen easier to see by making them bigger. You can do without changing the resolution of the screen of your monitor or your laptop. This allows you to increase or decrease the size of text and other items on your screen while keeping your monitor or laptop set to its optimal resolution.

    Right click on desktop, and then click screen resolution

    Choose one of the following:

    More small - 100% (default value). This prevents the text and other elements to normal size.

    Average - 125%. This sets text and other items to 125% of normal size.

    Expansion - 150%. This sets text and other items to 150% of normal size. This option appears only if your monitor supports a resolution of at least 1200 x 900 pixels.

    Click on apply.

    To see the change, close all your programs and then log off from Windows. This change will take effect the next time that you open a session.

    You can also display text more or less by changing your screen resolution, but if you use an LCD monitor or laptop, we recommend that you set your screen to its native resolution to avoid a blurred text. It is the optimal resolution an LCD monitor or laptop was designed to display based on its size.

    Active and inactive windows:

    Click Start, type: Windows color and appearance
    Press enter on your keyboard

    In the item list, click the part of Windows that you want to change the font for. For example, if you want to change the font of the menu, click on Menu in the list. Then, make the following changes:

    In the font list, click the font you want to use.

    In the size list, click the desired font size.

    In the color list, click the desired font color.

    Repeat these steps for each item that you want to change, click OK, and then click OK again.

  • Change the icons in the Sierra

    Does anyone know how do to change the icons in the Sierra of the old way of cut and paste in the information windows no longer works.

    When I try to copy and paste an icon of a file or folder in the right Info Panel icon. it sticks just a generic icon there.

    But what always works for me, is to open an image in the Preview file and select the part of the image I want to use as icon custom, copy the selection into the clip Panel, then paste it into the icon well of Info Panel to another file or a folder that will change the icon to elements that are not protected by the protection of the integrity of the system.

    But generally, I use iconStix to assign a custom for files and Folders icon.  iconStix has just been updated for Sierra and it is quite easy to combine the icons in the application and assign to files and folders.

    After you have created the icon of iconStix use the command "file > attach Custom Item", then select the item in the file picker.

  • How to change the icon of an extra folder in the sidebar?

    I just downloaded Sierra, I have a mac mini and I want to change the icon of a folder that I created, I already changed it, but in the sidebar, there is no icon, so I need help to change to the icon I want.

    If you had already created a folder named & then hung out in the

    Docking station, a change in this file might have to replace one in the Dock; so

    If this is the case, do drag the earlier version of Dock, replace with new.

    Of course, when you drag the icon of the old dock, it will go "poof!"

    {Are you referring to the dock as a 'side bar' on the desktop?}

    Files and web links, etc. can be slid in the side bar (Dock)?

    on the side of the bulkhead the nearest trash. Only applications or utilities

    can be moved to the other side.

    Here is an example of a file with a custom icon to the dock, put in place to

    be considered a list, arranged by name; used to launch additional items that

    otherwise could not fit well on the dock. There are also the Alias of elements:

    The alias or the symbiotic relationship that you create in the Dock is always based on the presence

    the original (a custom, etc folder) or on the icon element can become a '? Mark '

    or blank if the original is no longer available. I put the original in my user folder.

    If you already know how to copy a new icon to a folder (else, etc.)

    or make a new graphic icon and paste it into the folder to replace original;

    so if I understand this issue, the rest should be easy.

    Unless you try to accomplish something else...!

  • When I try to change the search words in the browser, it goes back to the expression of the typed original and does not accept the change

  • I glide click a URL link in the links toolbar and it shows just the icon of ablank page - why I can't change the icon allocated in the link properties dialog box? Can we change it elsewhere so he's better?

    I dragged a URL in the URL box - in this case a 2nd Yahoo! email login address so I could quickly switch between accounts - in the toolbar links (the one with the "Most visited" link.

    Noting that the new URL link didn't have a Yahoo! icon I right click on the link and found that there is no option to change the URL link icon to, well, anything (!) as we can do for most of the files in Windows Explorer.

    I could change the text label of the link without problem.

    Is he buried somewhere else in Firefox the ability to do so and if so where?

    If not can this option included in the dialog box properties of links in the future, please?

    I would be really grateful one answer I know that my question has not fallen into the "bit bucket".

  • Change the icons on my computer

    When you click on my computer and open it in a window of the Explorer is shows the icons for the various devices removable and nonremoveable. All the device icons look like disks. In particular, my Ipod. I would like the icon to look like the icon of intellectual property which appeared in Vista. You can can change the icons on the items on the desktop, but I can't not find how to change the image of the icon in this window. How to do this now?

    change drive icons for your i - pod in my computer are manually as follows: -.

    1. go to your iPod Player (for example say - f:\, where f is the iPod drive letter).
    2. Select your icon & put it on your iPod as i drive - pod.ico (i.e. - in f:\).
    3. open the Notepad and type as follows:
    [AutoRun]
    ICON = i - pod.ico
    4. close Notepad & save the file autorun.inf in drive i - pod (c.-a-d.-f:\).
    5. remove your iPod player & connect it again to your computer.
    fact.
    n.b.-1. here is the name of the icon file that you use as the icon of the drive disc. "i - pod.ico". You can change the name of the file, but you need to change in the autorun.inf file "ICON = i - pod.ico" section.
    2. This will work only for removable disks on any computer, but not for the internal hard disk, for which there is another yank in the registry.

    Hello Farell,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    I suggest you try to restore a previous version of the file and check if that helps.

    Previous versions are copies of files and folders created by Windows backup or copies of files and folders that Windows automatically saves as part of a restore point. You can use previous versions to restore files and folders that you accidentally modified or deleted, or which have been damaged. Please follow these steps:

    a. right click on the file and then click on "restore previous versions."

    You will see a list of the available versions of previous of the file or folder. The list will include files saved on a backup (if you use the Windows backup utility to back up your files) as well as restore points.

    b. before you restore a previous version of a file or a folder, select the previous version and then click on 'Open' to make sure it's the version you want to view.

    c. to restore a previous version, select the previous version and then click on "restore".

    d. click apply and ok.

    I hope this information helps.

    Please let us know if you need more help.

    . {AFErrorIcon:alias}

    Content:URL(/ADF/images/warning.PNG);

    }

    After that I added this skin writing when I add below code its display of the warning icon. This means that the switch replaced in my skin file is get chosen, but the same is not get chosen for attribute validation error popups.

    Can you please confirm if missing me something here or there is no way to change this icon?

    Try this instead of AFErrorIcon:

    af|message::error-icon{
        content:url(/adf/images/warning.png);

    If you have af:messages the current label in your page, in the selection above, use af | messages instead of af. messgae.

    try to change the text in a saved file, but it will not allow isolate me the text, place the cursor in the text box or simply go back to remove.

    Hello

    in what format save you your file? If it's a jpg file, then the text is compressed and unfortunately PS is telling things as they are. Even if you could change the text before you save, after having been saved in jpg format, the text is merged and is no longer editable.

    A good solution is to save the files as PSD files, photoshop files. In this case, all layers are saved uncompressed and so your text will appear in its own layer in photoshop. All you need to do in this case to change it is the result of a three-step procedure

    (1) select the right layer

    (2) take the text tool in the tools bar

    (3) mark and change your text

    So the crucial question is: in what format you save your file?

    I created my site and cannot find how to change the icon in the browser window (as they have done at the top of this page with the icon of Adobe before the Adobe Forums: text) anyone would be nice to give me a little help?

    Do you mean the favicon?

    I only learned that recently about favicons myself - so if you google the word you will get a lot of resources to do this. Bascially, it's a little icon file located in the root directory of your site that browsers search and display for you. As long as the file is there (* named favicon.ico*) will automatically appear if I'm wrong in what I read.

    It's the thing you're looking for? (edit: it also appears in your list of bookmarks in firefox - if it isn't the one you want it is the favicon file)
