Hello, please help me, my taskbar is displayed normally but there no icons on it, for example, I'm using Google Chrome now but I don't see the icon on the taskbar. I have Windows XP Professional SP3.
Also when I try to copy-paste/move icons on the desktop, I can't do it, please help.
I found the answer... There is none... then you must create a new user profile. How is here. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/811151
Microsoft has no response or a name for the problem then start from scratch.
I found the answer. For me, the answer was ComboFix. After scanning, everything worked perfectly! See the programs running and move icons.

Why the Amazon icon will not appear when you create a shortcut
When I create a shortcut to a Web site; instead of the web logo, I get the blue standard & green "globe".
How can I correct this (windows 7)?
Thank you
Clyde
Hello
You are welcome.
Shortcuts to sites will initially their own custom icon when you create a shortcut. This icon is called a "favicon.ico" and is stored in the temporary Internet files (TIF) cache, which is where all website files, are stored when you visit them.
When the user performs a maintenance and removes the TIF cache, all these custom icons are removed with everything else. This will cause the icon of Internet Explorer by default to display on these shortcuts. This also occurs when the maximum allowed disk space has been exceeded and that the files are deleted automatically to maintain the use of disk space.

Joe sends an email to me and one dozen others. As each response, Joe, every answer that comes to me is attached to the e-mail of origin rather than as previously, simply, I would like to get a copy of each answer with no link. Often stakeholders include trivial info which has nothing to do with the original question and there is no way to get rid of the linkage.

Why is not able to open new tabs in Firefox all of a sudden?
Recently, I installed an update of Firefox and now all of a sudden, I can not open a new tab using the button '+' on the side of an open window, or in the option "file/new tab", or "ctrl + T" button combination. I can, however, open the link in a new tab, but I can't open just a new tab - there must be a link. How to remedy? It worked before the upgrade.
The Ask toolbar is originally only in versions of Firefox 3.6.13 +. Uninstall this extension.
There are a few places to check for the Ask toolbar:
- Check the control panel Windows for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
- Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Greg,
Claes has pretty much nailed. You will do well to spend time to learn how Lightroom works. He is not like most software that you've used before, and if you don't understand what it does and how it does, you stand a good chance of losing your images.
Try googling 'Lightroom tutorials' or 'get started in Lightroom. It's not rocket science, but it's different.

the desktop icons no longer appear when I turn on the computer.
Hello, I recently upgraded to an office update prompted and now the desktop icons no longer appear when I restart the computer.

You check office. There the icons? If so, reboot, still exist the icons?
If the foregoing does nopt working, do a system restore.
Choose a date where you did not have this problem as your restore point.

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?
