Win 8 (Pro) - Questions on program files, the desktop icon and taskbar
Hello
I just upgraded successfully Win 7 (home) to Win 8 (Pro).
I have a few questions in mind:
Q1: A program icon can be PIN to the taskbar and desktop at the same time?
Q2: Under Win 7, user can easily see all installed programs by clicking on all programs in the Start Menu and select no matter what and copy and paste it on the desktop or PIN to the taskbar task, but under Win 8, I could not find this feature. CAB user to access the program to install all at the same time? Or the user needs to type the name of the program to the search box one by one? How to pin it in the Start Menu Win 8 on the desktop instead?
Appreciate someone could help me in this area.
Thank you
First question: Yes, of course. You can place an icon where you want. Desktop, taskbar, start screen, at the same time.
Second Question:
The start of Windows 8 has a screen view "all programs" similar to the former in Windows 7 (except the new is full screen). To get her on Windows 8, right click on an empty spot. If you have Windows 8.1 update, which makes it easier to find by putting an arrow at the bottom of the main screen.
To take an icon from the start menu or the list of applications and put them on your desktop, right click, choose "Open file location" and then copy / paste the icon on the desktop.

so first, I'll start with my system features:
Reference Dell Xps15zIntel Core i7 - 2640M to 2.8 ghzNVIDIA GT525M 2 GB8 GB RAMWindows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64-bitSamsung PM830 SSD 2.5 "7 GB 218, 42 GB of freeMy laptop is now just a year and plays well outside some blue screen errors that have been fixed. The question now is time to start being significantly slower, especially the loading of the office. It takes 15 seconds to the password screen, to 45 seconds to reach the office and another 45 seconds to the taskbar, icons and things on the desktop to load. What is unusual is that during this black screen, my mouse is displayed, as well as for Advanced System Care 6 performance monitor (I doubt that this is the problem as I had installed for some time). I did the troubleshooting on mine and removed about half of my program without success. I also checked the health and performance of my SSD with SSD and SSD life and both seem to be very positive. I did not any changes to the Bios because I don't want to reinstall my OS and I'm not really sure on workarounds.I tried also to the difficulty of the task of explorer.exe, by checking the value of shell in the registry and it is correct, that it just load slowly at the start and each time I kill and then open it again in the Task Manager. Therefore, I think that my main problem is with explorer.exe loading slowly for some reason, I also removed some desktop icons and taskbar, although I doubt that it makes much difference.I've also done many scans with malware bytes pro and hitman pro, there is no virus on my computer.I appreciate any help, as it is very inconvenient for my more than 90 seconds start time, when he was about 20 when the laptop was new.Thank you very much for your help!P.S. I have about 60 GB of games installed on my pc via steam, if it makes a difference to delete someWhen my Windows 7 is slow to start, I do the following:
Start, then in the search box, type of race. In run, type "msconfig"(sans guillemets), and then click OK. ""In the general tab, make sure that selective startup is selected.Under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.Then go to the Startup tab and disable everything except software antivirus and important such as the microsoft. In addition, DO NOT disable any program that you do not recognize.This will disable any unnecessary background programs and prevent to launch at startup.NOTE: you can still start programs even if they do not start at startup. For example, your favorite game is one of them, and you the disabled. Now, the game does not start at startup, but if you click on the game icon later, it will always start, except maybe a bit slower when it starts. Basically, you are delaying the start of programmes which does not need to start at startup, you move a part of the start-up BACK period. The only programs that you do not disable is programs that actually need to start (like if it starts your computer will blow or something similar). -
I have a Windows XP Home Edition with a breath main card computer. Replaced the Board, PS and other items. Then re-activated windows and everything was fine. Until the last moment, I rebooted after activating it. I have the problem that I have seen posted in a bit. When Windows has finished initializing all the desktop icons and task bar etc. disappear. Nothing works.
I can bring up the Task Manager and manually run programs, etc.
Believe me when I say I spent reviewing EACH reference to this problem... Yes 5 days and counting... Tried them all.
I also tried a repair of windows in place which ends without any problem (twice)... but still no icons or taskbar. I also ran several controls of virus, including one for the virus, which is usually the cause of this problem. (fsnimda3.exe), I tried all the ideas in another thread (page 9) and many other institutions. Before I did the reconstruction of the material I've cloned the original hard drive and have used the disc cloned juggling his original for the back. Even tried to reinstall the old disk and do a comparison of sector by sector, in the case where my cloning process missed something. In the 30 years I've been in the computer business I have never had a re - format a hard drive to solve a problem. BUT I think it will break my record.
I'm doing this as a favor for a friend. But at this point our friendship is really put to the test

The desktop icons and taskbar are at least three minutes to load when I start the computer.
Original title: problem with the desktop icons
All of a sudden when I start my computer, the icons on the desktop and icons at the bottom of the clock of the take at least three minutes to load, and before that time, they used to load in a few seconds. Also, I have no problem with the computer start. Any help to solve this problem will be greatly appreciated.
According to the specifications of your system, hard drives on your system are disks IDE (not the SATA drives).
Sometimes the Interface IDE mode can change from DMA mode to PIO mode and when that happens, things sudden. run very slowly, but it is easy to check and adjust if you need to.
Here's how:
If you are using IDE drives, use Device Manager to check the channel Transfer Mode IDE is set to something like DMA if available (depends on your hardware) and the slow PIO mode.
Don't forget: PIO is the slowest, DMA is faster.It is easy to check and usually easy to fix and the mode would not have changed in itself, so if she changed to PIO, change it to DMA, and then understand why it changed and fix it.
To launch the Device Manager console, click Start, run and enter in the box:
%SystemRoot%\System32\devmgmt.msc
Click OK.
Expand the section controller IDE / ATA to see your IDE channels. Each right click and choose Properties for each channel that has a tab advanced settings, determine the Transfer Mode. There are usually 4 channels to check in a desktop computer, maybe less for laptops.
Faster selection will always be a kind of selection DMA (usually: DMA DMA5, UDMA, etc.). If it is PIO, change it to DMA.
If you are unsure of what you see after return of help and advice.
If you make settings, restart and check the settings again to make sure that any change stick.
What may have caused the change?

I installed windows 7 and the desktop icons and bar tasks are enormous
Original title: Windows 7
I installed windows 7 and the desktop icons and bar tasks are enormous, go to Web pages, I have to use the scrollbar at the bottom of page to see the other half of the page - he said could also be a driver problem, but don't know what I'm looking for - someone can help?
Hello
Yes, well part of the problem from the point of view of Dell is the only "acceptable" operating system for the Office of series 4600 XP. So they have no drivers 'official' for any function of Windows 7!
But first I need more information on the video card. Try this (on the Dell site): 4600 system is supplied either with the built-in car video or a dedicated real card video. You should know that you got. Right-click of your mouse on the desktop, click on Properties in the next area, you see. This will bring you into the display properties. Now click on settings at the top right of this next area, click Next on the advance . Now, click on the adapter on the top. Just below the upper on this last box, you will see your listed video adapter.
You will need this information, regardless of where you get help. My best recommendation is that you go to the community of Dell and after a question here. Someone may have already found one, but there is nothing official since the operating system is not officially supported.
I'm sorry, there is nothing more I can do.
Kind regards

Change the screen resolution
Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

XP... The desktop icons will not put
XP... The desktop icons will not put. I did a lot of research on this issue, read the different responses on many forums, including and have tried much of the recommendations... I'm not familiar with the functions of establishment of the arrangement of the desktop icon and this is the first time I met this kind of problem. "Lock Web items on desktop" is checked, "Snap to grid" is not checked (my preference, but I find that it will check mysteriously itself after the icons rearrange themselves to the left of the screen, apparently by making use of automatic reorganization, even if it is not checked), I tried securityguy14 registry change response dated December 7, 2009 , have installed and use the program "Icon restore" that changes the Recycle Bin, my computer, and another icon of office, I do not remember to add a backup/restore function for the setting icon on the desktop... is what bought me a brief period of mental health before they rearrange themselves after a few constantly unidentifable strike entered sometimes without "rhyme or reason", not unique to anything, preventing me from shrink down to a specific cause. I conducted several audits of malware with paid and free programs and there is no indication of anything invading my system, it works fine other wise. Help!
