Why we can no longer open a program over the taskbar

original title: the feature of the taskbar

Why a very useful feature has been removed?  Auto-hide is very probably the most annoying feature ever;  I prefer to be able to allow windows to open the taskbar and if I need press the Windows keyboard direct, we have been able to do for almost 10 years.

It's like being able to drag the elements around the area of all programs on the start menu.  You can do it, but they just re - get an alphabetical sort themselves even if you put ' Menu all programs sort by name "OFF - why he lost us this feature and what is the point preferably to be here at all if it's going to sort without worrying?

ManChicken,

The change is by design, however, if this is something you want restored, please submit your proposal to Windows 7 comments.

    For Photoshop CS2 activation has been reprocessed, so your original drive and the serial number does not work.

    As an owner of CS2, Adobe has a copy without activation and serial number, to which you are entitled.

    The serial number is to the right of the download link for Windows. You'll need this one, not your old number.

  • Customer can no longer open our wallets

    I'm a writer/trainer. Today I received an email from our support group. An existing customer has recently updated the user workstations all the (as I understand it - client allows no FlashPlayer to be installed in environments VM ware users use as their desktop environment work - recently started using parts of Lenova Tiny running virtual machine). So they can no longer open our wallets that we delivered to them since 2010. Any ideas? Workaround solutions? Thoughts? Help! Thank you.

    I found a solution... use Google Chrome, not Internet Explorer and go to the Adobe web site. Search for Flash Player.  Install the Flash Player from here.  I can now open portfolios very well!

    PS. Happy New Year!

    Yes, it happened with the film. Most of the cameras allowed to 'see' the film advance, if they released the limp, as the rewind crank would turn too. I knew better, but makes a shot at Williamsburg, Virginia, and one body was not moving. I have checked no - hurry, or too little coffee early in the AM? Fortunately, I was shooting with 3 Nikon, so was the film of two of the three for the start (missed some of the WA establishing shots), and when it was time to recharge, I checked the body #1 - Oops! Who corrects and got the images (returned on my own for a few of the shots WA) and learned a lesson, that I thought I knew - independently verify the rewind crank.

    Well, strange question. It is maybe something wrong with the CD rom of s?
    The best idea is to recover this unit with the supplied restore CD, but first of all you can try to remove the CD rom from Device Manager device. After OS start the player will be recognized again. If the problem persists after this procedure, I would recommend to recover the device.

  • Can't pin the program to the taskbar.

    Ive been try instructions on how programs PIN over the taskbar, but I can't.  I clicked on the start menu and right click on the program I have to pin, but no 'Code Pin to the taskbar' option. I also tried to drag the program on the taskbar, but it did not work. What will I do?

    Sorry, but that's the wrong answer. Absolutely NO program (executable file) would PIN to the taskbar. I found out why and would like to present this as the correct answer to anyone having this problem. This is because I removed the arrows on the icons on the desktop, thanks to a program called "Wise Fixer." If you choose to provide these arrows on the icons you can then pin any program to the taskbar again. Go figure.

  • Please let me know why I can not download Flashplayer because it runs the scripts on the page... I bought acrobat dc 7/10.  Thank you.

    Please let me know why I can not download Flashplayer because it runs the scripts on the page... I bought acrobat dc 7/10.  Thank you very much. @@

    Hi dmrmultimedias,

    I guess you are referring to the script error using the installer online.  If so, the DPI setting has been identified as the culprit.  If the DPI setting is not set to 100%, 125%, 150% or 200% installer will return the script error.  If your DPI setting is set to something else, please set it to one of these and Setup online should work.  The team is working on a fix for this.

    To check/change the DPI setting:

    1. start the control panel and go to control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display

    2. in the left menu, select the custom text size (DPI)

    3. in the custom configuration Windows DPI select 100%, 125%, 150% or 200% in the menu drop-down

    4. Select OK

    5. Select apply

    6. open a session/disable

    7. online installer should now run without displaying the script error.

    This is planned which will be fixed within two 2 weeks.

    Set up the default program depends on the type of file you download, Ex:-PDF file open in Adobe Reader or Acrobat.

  • Why I can't mount images in InDesign from the 'images' as I did with "iPhoto" before?

    Why I can't mount images in InDesign from the 'images' as I did from "iPhoto" before?

    Browser multimedia lla only will show you photos from your photo library, if the library is your system library.  Check in Photos preferences > general, if 'use as a Photo library system' is UO greyedcrossed, as it should be.

    and the application must be fully compatible with El Capitan, or it can only show the iPhoto and Aperture libraries.  You may need to update your copy of inDesign. I don't know, if there is a newer version.
