  I can't type the dollar sign (Maj 4) at all.  Although I hold SHIFT, it always opens the calculator when I press 4.  Someone has an idea?

  I do not know what undid the problem, but it was something in the sense of what you're saying.

• all icons open a Notepad session

  When I click on any icon on the desktop process that results will open in a Notepad with misleading text session and reference to a dll or an exe in the text. Not only that, everything in the program menu has a Notepad icon? If I right click the icon of the default program in Notepad. I realize, I can go to each icon and select the navigation program, but this seems to be a lot of work. I think he's coming back to restart that I think it has something to do with link files. I'm updating my norton AV and I ran msert.exe and it all comes up to clear viruses.  No idea - thank you.

• How can I keep my dock icons open the browser to move overtime, they reduce to the minimum

  Hi guys

  Browser icons that represent the open browser windows in the dock move to the right, after they are reduced to a minimum. I would like that they to minimize in the same place every time. Is this possible?

  Thank you!

  Hello hectc7,

  If you wish to have your windows minimize, in the same place on the dock, whenever you might consider enabling the option reduce Windows in the system preferences application icon > Dock.
  

  Minimize windows in the application icon

  Reduce a window of the app to the app icon in the Dock. If the option is disabled, the window is reduced to an area at the end of the dock.

• FF42 Desktop icon opens is no longer new instance (FFwindow) in the box of Win7-64...

  In FF versions prior to version v 42, by double clicking on the icon on the desktop FF has always opened a new window, even when other instances (windows) to browser FF were already open.

  A that the behavior is deprecated in v 42?

  I tried to recreate the shortcut by using the two methods; "Send to desktop" and "create a new shortcut here." No method had no effect.

  TKS in advance

  Make sure that Firefox is not set to run as administrator.
  Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".
  Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

  • Privilege level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
  • "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" must not be selected

  You may also check the firefox.exe program properties in the Firefox program folder.
