Windows 7 taskbar

I have a program that has changed my Aero theme, so I changed it to my saved theme, and now when I fly over programs I pinned to my taskbar, it only shows me the name of the program that is running and not some more. I looked in my settings, but I can't find anything that relates to my problem.

There are several reasons why this can happen. Try these suggestions in the order and see if the problem has been resolved after each:

I. open the start menu, type services.msc in the search box and press ENTER. This will open the Services console. Find the "Desktop Window Manager" service and double-click it. Make sure that the startup type is set to automatic, and that the service is started. Similarly, look for the "themes" service and check its settings too.

II. open your Start menu and type the appearance and performance in the search box. Click the result 'change the appearance and performance of windows '. In the dialog box that opens, select the "Adjust to improve the appearance" option, and then click OK.

III. If both of the suggestions above do not work, try to download and run the troubleshooter of the Aero effects. The link is shown below:

  • Windows 7 taskbar hidden

    All of a sudden, I can't have the Windows 7 taskbar to show when I place the cursor at the bottom... What could be the causes?

  • Why doesn't Firefox support the Windows 7 taskbar properly.

    Firefox does not work in static form of the Windows 7 taskbar button. When you close the main window of Firefox, the downloads window stays open. Because it is a Firefox window still open, you cannot start an another main Firefox window without first close the downloads window. It is against the expectations of the design of the Windows 7 task bar.

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    == I installed Firefox on Windows 7

    Double clicking on the icon of Firefox on the desktop (or by using the start menu) will allow another "main" window of Firefox to open - even if the download window is still open.

    This problem is fixed in the latest alpha of Firefox versions, so that the 'hand' last window is closed leave the application - even if windows as downloads are still active. (This will be fixed in Firefox 4.0, because updates minor Firefox only to solve problems of stability and security and not to introduce new behaviors)

    My windows XP taskbar (bottom of screen) is frozen and that two tabs of the program are ('my computer' and 'sure shaw' - my anti-virus protection of server), but they are not accessible or able to be closed.

    The taskbar is empty and only shows a vertical arrow head double whenever the screen cursor is hovering over him.  The only way I can access my programs running using the Task Manager and double click on the required program.  I can not even do a system restore, because I can't access the Start button.

  • The Adobe reader print window menu, the button print is covered by the Windows 7 taskbar

    The Adobe reader print window menu, the button print is covered by the Windows 7 taskbar.  I can still print on my laptop by pressing on enter, but I can't resize the print windows to narrow down, or click on the "print" button from my bar tasks it covers.

    In the middle of the three buttons at the top right. Make sure the middle one shows one box. Then you can drag the window down and in and grabbing the banner at the top to raise it above the taskbar.
     
    Make sure that there are no other open windows including minimized in the taskbar, and then close Adobe Reader. Windows will remember the size as long as it is the last window closed.
  • Cannot detach Firefox icon to Windows 7 taskbar - new facility.

    I installed Firefox on a new laptop running Windows 7 today. It appears that the installation has a FF icon on my Windows 7 icon. Large. However, when I click on this icon, it adds a second FF icon beside the original and the other and the other for each session of FF that I opened. It obstructs the taskbar! My previous install simply "stacked" FF session icons in one place on the taskbar?

    I have read several threads which suggest FF opening with the original on the taskbar icon. Then, right click the new icon and select "pin this icon to the taskbar. Then right-click of the original icon and select "remove this icon to the taskbar. That's the problem. When I right click the original icon, no additional options are displayed. Nothing! He says only: "Mozilla Firefox".

    So, basically, I can't delete the original icon at all? Any suggestion would be appreciated!

    jscher2000. Thank you once again. Well, I solved it, but by chance. I restarted the PC and the icon disappeared from the taskbar! Weird. I created a new start menu, and no, it works as expected.

    On your previous post, you are probably right. FF did not place the icon in the taskbar. Got dragged there that has been placed on the desktop. Good fishing.

    Not sure why the previous icon would cooperate not at all on the first time. Just after the restart. Maybe a registry setting?

    Thanks again!

  • Problem opening 26.0 Firefox from the Windows 7 taskbar.

    I have Firefox pinned to the taskbar in Windows 7 on the bottom of my screen. I use a desktop PC. Most of the time, when I click the icon it opens Firefox without any problems. However, occasionally, when first, I turn on my computer and click on the Firefox icon in the taskbar, it gets highlighted but does not appear the little circle and the highlight fades without opening the browser. When that happens, I can not yet turned off my computer without pressing the button on the tower. This happens only the first time that I open the browser in the morning, and it seems to happen every two weeks. Any thoughts on what is happening? I just had a virus removal made, so that shouldn't be the problem.

  • Duplication of Firefox icons on the Windows 7 taskbar

    Citing the Forum Windows 7: http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/256708-duplicating-icons-taskbar.html

    Hello

    I searched high and low for a way to do this, but I can't seem to find anything. First of all, I don't want to install or download any program whatsoever. I want to do with what I have, aka Windows 7.

    Let's say I have 2 or more profiles Firefox. I want to open them in separate windows. This is done easily with - no.-remote, correct? Well, if I want to open them in two different icons on the taskbar?

    Currently, I open both profiles, but they will be grouped in the Firefox icon. I don't want them be grouped. I could customize my taskbar and choose something other than "always combine, skin tags. Unfortunately, I don't want labels. And I want every other icon to combine. It's only the different profiles in Firefox I want to separate.

    Is this possible?

    Moderator sets the broken URL

    You can try to do a copy renamed only the firefox.exe file in the current Firefox program folder to see if it works.

    If this does not work, you can try to copy the whole Firefox program folder to another folder (Mozilla Firefox2) to see if that works (may as well fail because the firefox2.exe program will still report as the same application in the Windows OS) and firefox.exe program is only a draft that checks if other Firefox programs are already running without a - no.-remote switch and load the real application if necessary.

  • Why the title bar on Firefox and the Windows 7 taskbar let distorted image when a list of folders crosses one or the other?

    I use a lot of folders in my bookmarks list. I noticed that with AMD and Nvidia cards based on video, that if I use a folder in my bookmarks list that a lot, a lot of bookmarks, the bookmark list will cross the box title bar of Firefox and the taskbar in Windows 7 and down. When this happens, the title bar on Firefox versions 8-10 and the taskbar at the bottom let images from the list of bookmarks which do not disappear (at least that I have use F11 mode full screen to clear away from the image and bring it back to normal). If I use a Matrox video card, it doesn't. Why is this?

  • Windows 7 taskbar and start menu large icons are either missing (empty by default) or do not show the right program.

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium on an AMD Athlon (TM) II X 4 630 2.80 GHz with 6.0 GB of RAM (64 bit OS). PC is up-to-date with the latest updates and use Norton Anti Virus.

    I used this PC for several months with no problems. After doing some research in my menu of the taskbar Windows Explorer and start icons have become corrupted. The links always work but do not show the right program.

    I tried several things to fix this. I removed everything in the start menu and taskbar, rebooted, added a few back but the problem still exists. I deleted the icon cache file (renamed to db.old), restarted, problem still exist. I made a recovery of a checkpoint system before the problem was still not fixed. When I go to small icons, the problem disappears. The problem only seems to appear when you use large icons in the bar of tasks and the start menu.

    Based on what I've tried so far is there any other suggestions on how to fix this?

    This tutorial is to rebuild the icon cache when the cache is corrupt.

  • Windows 7 Taskbar Pro Date & time

    Hello

    Windows 7 Professional

    On October 8, 2016, the time and the Date appeared in my taskbar. The date was shown in numbers 10/08/2016.  On October 9, 2016, the date was no longer in the taskbar.

    The taskbar had moved? No, there is plenty of room and the date is not hidden.

    The "small icons" had been accidentally activated? The checkbox in the properties isn't clear.

    The only place that remains to be verified (as I know) is control panel > language and region.

    The short Code had not changed and I spent nearly half an hour to try all kinds of variations of number short and only show the date in the task bar, which reads now, 11 October 16.

    In addition, the date format changed in Windows Explorer.

    What in the world is happening? I prefer my original format.

    Thank you

    Same thing happened to me a few days ago on my work computer, as well as on my home computer, with Windows 7 Professional. It seems that this is a problem of vertical taskbar, when there is not enough space for the date.

    Maybe all changed refresh a date display on the taskbar.  More wide bat task solves this problem.
