When I open a program, another icon appears in the taskbar. How can I change to make the correct icon?
I tried to change the default program that appears when I open the .gif or .jpg files, so I made successfully by using the control panel.
Then when I opened a PDF file (with Adobe Reader X), the icon that appears in the taskbar is my default program for .gif and .jpg files (in this case, paint). I checked the options of the program by default under the control panel and it does not say that .pdf files will be opened by Adobe Reader if it is not the problem.
When I check the properties of Adobe Reader X, the icon used is the appropriate icon.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader software, but it still happens. I restarted the computer.
So why Windows 7 displays the icon of the paint when a .pdf file is opened?
I ask here because the control panel and change the default programs is a Windows 7 problem.
Thank you
Keith
Oh believe me, it would drive me crazy too.

When I use my touchpad for the pointer while having my laptop sitting on top of the table it does not work, and when I'm sitting at the laptop on my lap, it works very well is it annoyin so everyone knows what I can do to fix this issue? It is a dell computer, if that helps? anyone?
HY!
It seems that you have a hardware failure. No laptop does turn off touchpad, while he sits on a desk. If you have a USB mouse, plug it into the laptop and verify that it works correctly.You can also go to Panel of--> mouse--> the pointer options and pay attention to something like "Turn off automatically" or something similar.If the doen't even touchpad works, answer me with a little more specific infromation on your computer (Windows version, exact model laptop etc..). -

You want should not do that. These pop-up UAC is there to ensure the interaction of the user before executing a command or program. Disabling, allows even unwanted programs (= malware, viruses, Trojans) go ahead and implement themselves on your system without being noticed.
