Windows 7: remove the button show desktop

Why Microsoft does not insist on what gives us useless features which we cannot disable without going through x hours of troubleshooting and re-scheduling?  The common thing for me is the boring Windows Desktop button display in Win 7 that is attached to the start bar and no use no feature other than to watch sticky.
For those of you who don't already know, the same function is possible by pressing the windows key + d.
Personally, I find this feature to be annoying, even for novices because of its inconvenient location in the lower right; basically as far to start as physically possible.
I am a fairly advanced user and I decided to go back to the Window$ for Ubuntu after 7 came out because of the improved performance and support for adobe cs4.  (even if it's another story entirely)
I guess the question I have, this is where this 'feature' few are in the registry if I can remove it?  (or if there is an easier way to remove it, I'd be interested what so, although I'm almost certain, that there is no)

Also at Microsoft Note: perhaps an update to make this icon mobile and removable via gui would be nice, because the way I'm sure that many other people don't like it and have less experience than I do in programming and customization.

Edit: Im not interested in turning "off" the feature active it, I want to remove completely.

Hello

Unfortunately, this is normal.  However, there are 3rd party apps that certainly accomplish the task at hand for you.  I apologize for any inconvenience.

  • How can I disable the button show desktop in the lower right of the screen of the windows operating system 7?

    has the bar at the bottom of the screen from left to right: the Start button, usually several icons quick lauch, notifications of State, date and time, and last BUT NOT LEAST has RECTANGLULAR BOX "SHOW DESKTOP".

    I always automatically move the slider at the bottom right of the screen so that it is not in the way and I know where he is.

    However, microsft has decided to put a 'show desktop' button in their windows 7 OS at this place.

    I DON'T WANT TO SHOW THE DESKTOP WHEN I FIND THE MOUSE HERE.

    HOW to REMOVE or disable THIS KEY SO THE PAGE that I READ DOES'NT DISAPPEAR?

    Thank you

    You can right click an empty area of the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, click Properties and then on the tab taskbar, properties, uncheck "Use Aero Peek to preview the desktop" after you do this, the rectangular box will always be there and you can click it to show the desktop, but it will appear with the mouse just sit there.

  • NEED HELP WITH THE SHORTCUT "SHOW DESKTOP".

    Hello!

    I made a shortcut 'show dekstop '. I did it by adding this code into Notepad and save a .vbs file:
    Set shell = wscript. CreateObject
    Shell.MinimizeAll
    When I click it, it go to the desktop, just like I wanted. But when I click it again, it will not go back to my previous 'place', as the button show desktop in the windows taskbar. Does anyone of you guys no matter what code I could add so when I clicked it again, I would be back to where I was?
    It's a little "off topic", but since you are master's degree in computer science and coding, I guess that some of you can give me an answer.
    BTW!
    I am fully aware that Windows 8 has also the 'show desktop' button, but I make a shortcut for my RocketDock ;)
    Thanks in advance

    Do not try to write your own.  ;-)  No need to reinvent the wheel that is already on your system.
     
    Copy of the who that can be found here:
    "%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Shows Desktop.lnk"
     
    You can put this shortcut anywhere.  This works.  Your just sends a command "MinimizeAll" - so what he does is JUST that.  ;-)

  • Latest Dell Audio is missing the button 'Show meters. (Windows 10, Dell XPS 8700)

    EDIT: Rewritten for clarity

    Driver Realtek ALC3861 Audio (worm) 6.0.1.7525, A00 for Windows 10, it is no longer a button labeled 'Show meters' under speakers/Headphones > Maxx Pro Audio in the lower right corner (see attached screenshot). This button in previous versions of the driver for Windows 7 opens a new window with sliders to balance the front speakers and rear in a surround Setup.

    What I did:

    Update my OS 7 to 10 and set to update drivers Realtek audio as a result - to the version mentioned above.

    What I expected:

    The button 'Show meters' would be present in the most recent driver Realtek.

    What really happened:

    After the upgrade to the latest driver, the 'Show meters' button is gone.

    I reinstalled the latest driver several times and nothing helps and tried the driver from Windows 8.1 and by default with Realtek with worse affects (Audio Dell window missing most of the items/drop options, etc.)

    If anyone would know how to solve the problem, if it is intentional, or that worsen it, I would appreciate it.

    I think I should be more careful. In Control Panel > Sound > playback > select the Realtek device > properties > levels there are specific changes, I need. I don't know why I didn't notice until now. Could explain why there was no button 'Show meters"in this version, but I thought that Windows 7 has also had the same upgrade and there was audio Dell upgrade as well.

    I'll still with a new soundcard from Creative, however, saw a $70 super nice which looks great and seems to have features to match.

  • Remove the button DELETE in webconsole:OIM9102

    Hi Experts,
    I want to remove the button Delete when I search for users in the console of the IOM.
    http://hostname:port/xlWebApp/searchUser.do
    I modified tjspSearchUserResultsTiles.jsp, commenting on all the tags that refer to DELETION operations. but still it is not reflected.
    I was able to remove the http://HostName:PORT/xlWebApp/manageUser.do delete button by changing the tjspViewUserDetailsTiles.JSP.
    I read in another link, to change TableGenerator.jsp, but I do not see that anything related to the DELETE operation. so don't would not invite risk by changing something else. any of you can suggest me please?
    The goal is to disable the REMOVE Option of the Web console, is there another way, I could do this?
    Thank you

    Try to use javascript based fix

    You can remove the button Delete of the page using a small javascript based snippet that will take place during the loading of the page.

    var loc = window.location + ''; '.
    If (loc. IndexOf("searchUser.do") >-1) {}

    var El = document.getElementsByClassName ("Commandbutton");
    for (var i = 0; i)
    If (El.value == 'User of MSN Search') {}
    El [i] .setAttribute ("Disabled", "Disabled");
    $(El[i]).remove ();
    }
    }

    }

    Please note that this uses the remove method of Jquery, so you would need that which include in javascript to get this working.

  • error message "Windows cannot remove the password. "Password policy or account require the account has a password.

    I am trying to remove a user administrator account or remove the password and I get the error message below. Also, I can't delete the password as an administrator in Windows 7 32 bit or delete the account. I get this error message "Windows cannot remove the password. "Password policy or account require the account has a password. I tried to create another admin account, but it does however not take away the password or delete the account else

    Someone has put a policy on your machine to enforce some rules for passwords. Best is to ask that person to change these rules for you. Alternatively, you can run gpedit.msc, then follow this path to edit yourself: Local computer policy / Computer Configuration / Windows settings / security settings / account policy / password policy.

    Note also that:
    -You cannot delete the built-in Administrator account.
    -Administrator with a blank password accounts is a big security risk.

  • Can we remove the button continue to Quiz results?

    Hello world

    Is there a way to remove the continue button on the Quiz results page?

    I have a captivate file in which there is a slide thank you at the end after than the Quiz results slide. Now, here's the problem - the user is just to finish the quiz and the closure of the browser tab - which does not appear inside the LMS completion status. The user must need to display the slide thank you - so that CMS can answer that the status of "completed."

    Now I want to remove the button continue on quiz results slide so that doesnot users to go forward to the next slide to complete the course. And I'll put here the thank you message in single result of the quiz slide.

    Can I remove the continue button on the Quiz results page so that it could be the last slide?

    Concerning

    Vikas Sharma

    Remove the button continue results Quiz slide is NOT a good idea in my experience.  By clicking the button triggers features continue in Captivate to complete the quiz and post the score to the LMS.  If this button is not checked, Captivate maybe isn't sure that the person has decided that they are finished with the quiz and wants their score to be captured by the LMS at that time here.  There are often other buttons on the Quiz results slide to offer the user the possibility of recovery or to review the Quiz.  Only the continue button is designed to take them further beyond the Quiz results slide.

    Like you, I also found learners often fail to grasp the importance of the button continue and do not realize that they must do something extra (beyond to reach the Quiz results slide) so that their score to capture.  So what I usually do is to rename the button continue for something more meaningful like: save your Score, or record Quiz results now.  Have a name like that (and make nice and big button and "BOLD" so that it is not easy to Miss) clearly says to people that they need to click if they want to keep their score.  It's just a simple change, but it has virtually eliminated all the questions we had with people just close their browser when they saw the results of the Quiz.

  • Why can't remove the button long BOOKMARKS since the end of the right hand of the bookmarks toolbar?

    This button is totally superfluous and takes place on my bookmarks toolbar. How can I remove it please?

    To be clear, I have the "normal" bookmarks button on my main toolbar that opens to the top of my favorites in the Panel on the left. What is the purpose of the button bookmarks on the right end of the bookmarks toolbar that opens the same bookmarks in a different presentation, and how can I get rid of him?

    There are two icons stars; We open the sidebar and the other opens a drop down menu, but the procedure to add or remove is the same. It's inflexible, you can try to keep it more firmly before by dragging in the window customize. Please note that sometimes this icon may jump to another location when you click Customize and can also do not show the text, it may not be immediately visible.

  • Remove the slide show Album name / title

    Please forgive me if this has been asked before, but I've been searching and searching without success.

    I have a Mini iPad and I'm trying to implement a video slide show for my portfolio show who would have three videos in loop indefinitely. I discovered that you can create slideshows on the the Photos app iPad by creating a new album and pressing the button "slideshow". It works perfectly, EXCEPT that it displays the name of the album / title on the first video. This is very unpleasant and will look bad when I present my work.

    Is it possible to remove or hide the title of the album since the slide show? Did I miss something so obvious that nobody has asked this question before? And if this is not possible with the Photos app, iMovie does something similar?

    Any help is very appreciated!

    You can try to name the album something like _ or.    So he merges with that of the photo of made it if it's black or gray.  Also check out this post hide the name of the album/slideshow creating slideshow Apple (2015)
