• Unity Mode - icons in the taskbar on the host do not work as expected for some applications

  In Unity mode, the icons in the taskbar on the host computer do not work as expected for some applications. The following problems may occur:

  1. several icons for a single application.

  2 aero Peek does not work if the application is reduced.

  3 icon moves to the end of the task bar after restoration of the collapsed state.

  These problems make it difficult to work in Unity mode. Here are some details about my setup:

  VMware Workstations Version: 7.0.1 build 227600

  Host: Windows 7 64-bit (all updates applied)

  Client: Windows XP (all updates applied)

  Steps on how to reproduce the issue n ° 1:

  1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

  2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

  3. minimize and optimize Visual Studio 2003. Finally, you should see several icons, each with a different air look.

  When this happens, you can maximize is more than a simple click (as there are a stacked icons). Sometimes, only one of the icons to display Visual Studio 2003 (when testing this now, the other icon displays a portion of the Office of comments). If multiple copies of Visual Studio 2003 are launched, it is difficult to know who is who.

  Procedure reproduce problem 2:

  1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

  2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

  3 minimize Visual Studio 2003.

  4. place the cursor on the icon. You should see the icon in Aero Peek (similar to the Aero Peek look when you use Microsoft Windows XP Mode).

  Aero Peek works great for other applications reduced, such as Windows Explorer.

  Steps on how to reproduce the issue n ° 3:

  1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

  2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

  3. start Windows Explorer in the start menu of the unit.

  4 to minimize Visual Studio 2003.

  5 optimize Visual Studio 2003. The icon disappears briefly and then displayed in a different location (to the right of the icon in Windows Explorer).

  I guess that these issues will eventually with the similar Microsoft products such as SQL Server Management Studio, newer versions of Visual Studio, Microsoft Office (I guess just--I have not tried other programs).

  These questions, it is very difficult to use Visual Studio 2003 in Unity Mode, which is the main application, I need to use the virtual machine. I would love to see these issue fixed.

  Kind regards

  Hi Tim, this behavior all boils down to the fact that when you reduce the VS, is not to minimize as windows normally do. VS hides the main window, and then returns to the window in the reduced state.  When the host sees the window becomes hidden, she removes the button from the taskbar to the window of the unit; There is no way of knowing that the window will be re-shown again later.  The thumbnail Aero does not work for the reduced window because the host never saw this window in its normal state, so that the host knows not what are the contents of the window.

  The good news is that you can work around the button behavior of taskbar in Workstation 7.1 by pinning the window VS. In this way, the taskbar button will always be there no matter how many times the window of the unit is shown/hidden. It will not solve the problem of thumb nail, however.

• 10.0 Firefox now creates a new icon on the taskbar of Windows 7 whn launched. Why?

  With earlier versions of Firefox on Windows 7, I got 1 icon on the task bar and I would stay at this icon to go to the program. Now, at the launch of Firefox, that it creates an icon on the taskbar and it is confusing, because I'm used to return to the original icon, except that now it opens a new session of Firefox that I don't want. How to return to 1 icon?

  After clicking on the favorite taskbar icon and firefox opens a "new Session".
  DETACH the old icon and the PIN, then the "New Session" icon.

  Then from this point on 1 single icon will appear in the taskbar.

• How can I add the weather icon to the taskbar to be next to the time?

  Try as I might, I can't figure this out.  I would like to add the weather icon to the taskbar.  I want it to be next to the time, so it is always displayed.  How can I do this?  I also want to remove some of the icons that appear in the part of the notification of the taskbar.  Yet once, I can't do it.

  To add items to the taskbar in Windows XP, do one click right, choose Properties, select "Show quick launch", then OK. Now you can add existing shortcuts to the quick launch area (which is pretty much a location allows you to customize your own shortcuts), or you can right click on the quick launch are to open its 'file', then create new shortcuts to here (right click-> new-> shortcut).

  To remove the part of the taskbar notification icons: If you are indeed referring to the notification area near the clock, try right-clicking on the icon and look for an option to delete/remove/disable. Not all icons will have such an option. Additional details on the notification in Windows XP bar can be found here. If you are actually referring to quick launch (next), and then activate it as I've described in the paragraph above, then you should be able with the right button and then remove them.

• When I start the computer, sometimes the icon in the taskbar indicates that it is connected to a network that is not identified. I wait a few minutes until what he says at last he is identified & seems to work very well.

  Original title: Internet wireless connection

  I use a PC & a cable modem wireless to connect to the Internet.  When I start the computer, sometimes the icon in the taskbar indicates that it is connected to a network that is not identified.  I wait a few minutes until what he says at last he is identified & seems to work very well.  The only other issue I see is once in a while after it is connected, I noticed that it is to identify the network connection, but I see no problem to surf the web.  This could be a looming problem with the modem, or is it something else?  Should I consider it as my modem is still under warranty?  ARRIS / Motorola wants to charge a diagnostic fee is why I write on this forum first.

  Thank you

• In Vista, lost the Japanese IME icon in the taskbar

  I used the cleaner software to help you get rid of the junk in my VIsta system and I lost my Japanese IME icon in the taskbar. I went to the regional settings deleted IME and put them again, I changed the regional language with no luck... Why can't download us MS software directly? It makes no sense to not be able to reinstall! * _ * What should I do then?

  Hello

  Run the sfc/scannow command.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

     The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

• How can I restore my desktop icons and the taskbar icons

  I tried to open a file with a program's .lnk and her was not recognized in the program, and now my desktop icons and my icons to the taskbar was converted into icons for the program. How to get this back? I need to know how to do this in Windows 7.

  [Moved from comments]

  There are some patches for the issue that you siding, but most of them requires registry changes that I do not say that they can cause several other problems. I recommend that you perform a system restore.

  There are two ways to perform the system restore:

  Menu start open, click Run and type cmd to open the command prompt.

  Type CD... to book only c:\.

  Type windows CD then CD System32, and then restore.

  After once, you'll find yourself in c:\ windows\system32\restore >

  Type restrui.exe press ENTER.

  Once the system restore the open window then click on next to select any available restore point.

  This process takes a few minutes to do the restore and please make sure that once this process has begun there wont be reversible and or you will lose all personal data.

  Another way to perform the system restore is to open the safe mode by clicking on F8 at startup and check the option of safe mode, then still a dialog box opens to ask the system restore and then follow the steps above.

• Can you reduce the icons to the taskbar in Windows 7?

  I install my programs preferred on a new computer, put it on the taskbar, and it's fill to the top.

  I want to make each smaller icon/tile - that is to say, each a little more thin.  In terms of width, it seems that the icon itself occupies about half the space.  I would like to get rid of some of the lost space.

  I already use small icons.

  You can use smaller icons. The taskbar right click and choose Properties. Put a check mark in the box next to small icons.

• Use F'fox on Windows 7, when I have several windows open, why the relative location of these windows in the taskbar sometimes change?

  In general, I have three windows open Firefox, each with several tabs. Firefox itself is pinned to the Windows taskbar. Some of the tabs are set to reload.

  The behavior that I find strange is that the window that initially had the means of the taskbar sometimes migrating to the first position. This behavior can be controlled, or the less predicts?

  Thank you

  Hi Avocet,
  I guess this change because it's the last window to load a new page or which has been highlighted. If this happens on one of the tabs autoload, that might explain it.

  It seems that the other had the same question and had a tweak of operating system: http://superuser.com/questions/680406/how-to-order-windows-of-the-same-pro...

• Firefox creates the new icon from the taskbar when already pins. How to return to activate the pinned icon?

  After the 4.0.1 update, Windows now creates a new icon in the taskbar instead of activate one who is already pinned there. This does not happen on other computers I've used.

  Hi, a bit of googling solved the problem, this article eplains,
  http://www.gHacks.NET/2010/10/12/fix-pinned-items-opening-as-new-icons-in-Windows-7-taskbar/
  It worked for me, so I hope it'll work for you too.

• Its icon on the taskbar is not displayed

  Hello!

  Just today my laptop does not show an icon on the taskbar sound as it usually does. If you see in the right corner it usually an icon of the right? but mine is gone?
  Can you help me how to get it back?

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  You can still hear sound on speakers? If so the only problem could be the disabled sound icon in the taskbar. Therefore, go to control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Notification icons of the region. Make sure that the volume icon is not disabled and it will always be displayed in the taskbar.

  If you can t hear you should check the Device Manager. The sound card is listed in the Device Manager?
  If this isn't the case, you must reinstall the audio driver no doubt. You can download the driver from his most recent official website of Toshiba:
