• Windows 7 task bar icons stopped normal mouseover of the functions.

  Usually, when you mouse over or hover over the 'show desktop' without clicking, you should see the office with a visible transparent window frames. It has stopped working. Usually when you hover over the icon of internet explorer in the taskbar, you can see thumbnail pages of everything you have open. Now it produces a list of these pages display. I tried to look at the taskbar settings, but do not see how I could change these functions.

• Windows Explorer - status bar

  Under the reader of CD/DVD in Windows Explorer - tile view - I get a red bar state showing amount of disk used/available. Normally, the status bar is blue. What does the red bar? I can't see the content of the DVD - then it's probably bad - but I would like a confirmation of what means red color. Thank you - cbski

  Hi cbski,

  I am not sure why the bar is red, but you may find the answer if you go to disk management and examine the information here. Click on start - Control Panel - System Maintenance - under administrative tools, click on create and format hard disk Partitions.

  I'm moving this question to programs where someone may be able to offer additional information.

• Windows Excel task bar

  Is there a way to separate many Excel Windows in the taskbar? I can already see each Excel windows; However, they always seem to be "fixed" in the taskbar. If I try to move one of the reduced Excel (or Word) in the bar of tasks, all windows to move them.

  For example, I want an Excel document to the first window in my bar of tasks, then on my Outlook and then a Google Chrome window and then another window of Excel. However, I can't do it. Excel windows (although they are not combined) are still attached and move with another. Is there a way to completely separate windows to Excel?

  I have Excel 2013, Windows 7 Enterprise Edition and a HP laptop.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hi Lesci,

  Thanks for posting your concern on how to separate many Excel Windows in the taskbar.

  The MDI (Multiple Document Interface) that relates to the display of all windows in the taskbar function has been completely removed. It has been deleted because of the low functionality.

  But you can also refer to this workaround, just put always combine, hide labels in the taskbar settings, then the documents will display an icon in the taskbar. Click right icon it will show an option close all windows. Or follow these steps:

  1. Right-click on the taskbar.
  2. Select Properties.
  3. Select the tab taskbar.
  4. Click the drop-down menu to select always combine, hide labels.
  5. Click on the apply button.
  6. Then, click on the OK button.

  Let us know if you need more assistance.

• No the Windows 7 TASK bar.

  After the execution of Windows 7 for 6 months, decided I wanted my taskbar on the right instead of the left, but when I did drag the taskbar to the left side to the right side of the screen, the taskbar disappeared. I tried to re-start (by pressing the power button on the PC). And the taskbar are still missing.

  I tried a right mouse... Customize... and selected of taskbar and MENU START to move the taskbar to the left side, but the taskbar is missing.  Also now when I do a right mouse on the desktop... then select Customize..., then select START MENU and TASK bar... the task bar dialog box does not appear.

  To sum up... I don't have to enter this mess was to drag the taskbar to the left to the right of the screen and the taskbar disappeared.

  Hello

  Have you ever had several monitors installed on this computer? Looks like the task bar may have been moved to a monitor that is no longer connected.

  Right-click empty spot on the desktop, and then select the Screen Resolution.

  If you see multiple display options, select the drop-down menu and click the option show desktop only on 1 . Click Apply/OK.

  Let us know the results.

  Thank you for using Windows 7

• Free disk space in the Windows Explorer status bar.

  In Windows 7, I wonder how to display disk space is free in the Windows Explorer. In XP, you could see how much space was free down in the status bar. He would say how objects and disk space that was free. How can I activate this in Windows 7?

  Return to the root that particular drive is annoying, when I should be able to see how much free space I have for any folder.

  Thank you.

  These 2 features have been removed from the latest version of windows and really help to speed up the use of every day:

  Display the amount of free space
  Display of the total size of the files in folders.

  How this two features can be added to the status bar?

• Windows 7 task bar and especially start menu freezes constantly

  Recently, I have had weird problems with the taskbar and especially start menu gel and the entire system trolling. I'm sure this isn't hardware problems, like my laptop with windows 7 Professional has a processor core i5 and 6 GB of ram. Sometimes for the use of my computer, just start menu freezes without reason when I type something in the search box. The taskbar freezes too sometimes, but rarely. I find it really weird because when I say sometimes, I mean about 3 times a day. Even more troubling, whenever windows Explorer freezes completely up, I got Task Manager and see that I'm only using about 25% 50% cpu and ram. To make things worse, I have manually to complete the process explorer.exe in Task Manager, and then open it again with race, only to freeze again just after that the taskbar appears. Is could someone please tell me what is happening.

• Since the last update, windows Explorer (start bar, windows, etc.) won't start when you wake up from sleep.

  17/09/2012

  Since the last automatic update, my laptop won't automatically sleep when the lid is closed. And when opened the lid of his sleep, there is no current windows; No start bar, no application. So all I can do is ctrl alt del or start L so I can restart my laptop.

  I think that the last update caused this, since there was no prior dysfunction. .

• Is it possible to delete the shortcut to a user profile in the drop-down menu in the Windows Explorer address bar?

  We have a significant machines Windows 7 deployment, all managed by group policies.  All users have their Documents redirected to a file server as well as their other main libraries i.e. music, videos, photos, downloads, Favorites etc. - Despite this users continually save files in their roaming profile.  What I would do is, delete the shortcut to a profile of the users of the windows address bar to try and dissuade users from recording in their profile - please see the image below;

  

  I can't find the Group Policy settings to remove this link?

  I hope you can help

  Thank you

• Features of the Windows 7 task bar stopped working

  I recently discovered that icon from taskbar in Win 7 features such as the display of the progress of the color or display media controls of the player (play, pause) that support it. It seems that the applications cannot make calls to the features of windows 7 taskbar because it is a global problem, and not just with a single application. For example: Media Player Classic Media and controls the progress of copy/move Spotfiy and TeraCopy coloring as a background of the icon. I use the default Aero theme.

  Anyway I can fix this?

  (Moved to programs)

  In case you don't know when this problem started, you might want to try a System Restore ...

  Good luck.

• windows xp task bar

  For some reason, the taskbar is no longer in the bottom of my screen.  It is now to the right of the screen from top to bottom.  I can't seem to understand how to fix

  You can move , but it's not really a question of his being
  'correctness '.

  Although by default, the taskbar is displayed on the bottom of the screen,
  It can be on any of the sides on what you prefer. To move any
  side to side, simply click an unused portion and drag
  where you want it. Don't forget to click inside it, not on the edge.
  by clicking on the edge and dragging will resize not move.

  If it does not move, it can be locked. In this case, right click on it
  and uncheck "Lock the taskbar", then try again.

  Moreover, with the screen monitors wide today, I prefer the taskbar
  on the left or the right of the screen. I think that allows a better
  use of real estate than have it at the bottom of screen.
