Manage browser icons on Windows 7 users taskbar 32 & 64 bit OSs in a lab environment

I manage 120 units in a win 7 32 and 64 bit computer lab, I need to take the IE icon off the taskbar and replace it with Mozilla Firefox icon for every user that logs on in an active directory environment. Can anyone give me some assistance with this task.
Thank you. [email protected]

Hi,
Modify license server from add/remove program but do not check the B1i event sender in the select feature.
Probably, the B1i event ender is not installed correctly.

Firefox 10.0 now creates a new icon on Windows 7 Taskbar whn launched. Why?

With prior versions of Firefox on Win 7 I had 1 Taskbar icon and I would go back to that icon to go to the program. Now when launching Firefox, it spawns a separate icon on the Taskbar and it is confusing, because I am used to going back to the original icon, except now it opens up a new Firefox session that I don't want. How do I go back to 1 icon?

This also fixed it for me! Thank you so much for the help. I had the right click options set up just the way i like with the web sites and stuff on it. And when it spawned a separate icon i was so annoyed, i was so used to it all being in the one icon. Thanks again.

Hi
First you need an area to click on - I use a rectangle with a "-" inside.
The setOnMouseClicked action then calls primaryStage.setIconified(true);
If you look at my website, www.eco-wand.com, you will see this in the top righthand of the screen dumps.

I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

My taskbar is blank in Firefox. It simply says 'Done' in the bottom l/h side. When I go back to windows the taskbar reappears with icons at r/h side.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Firefox opens new window on taskbar when using yahoo as the browser

when i use yahoo as the browser, a new window opens on the taskbar when web results are listed. also if I open yahoo mail a new window opens when i read messages. this things only happen when using yahoo. only sites such as google dont have this issue.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

Hello Frank.
First of all, take a look at this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browser It will help you understand what the browser really is.
Now, as for your issue, if I understand it correctly, the only way to prevent this from happening (that I know of) is to go into Tools > Options > Tabs and select "Open links that open in a new window in:" as "New Tab".
Of course, you can always drag and drop tabs from window to window, no problem.

I have Windows 8 and Itunes 11.1.2. When I click on the Itunes desktop shortcut, Itunes won't open. I just the icon go to the taskbar and nothing more. Please help.

Delete the shortcut and make a new one. The 'real' application will probably be fine if you launch it from the Start/Programs menu.

How to Set Taskbar Icon in Windows 10?

I have installed windows 10 preview version and try to develop apps on it.
I use
SendMessage(hwnd, WM_SETICON, ICON_SMALL, myicon); to change the application icon before win 8.1.
But I found that the icon in taskbar is no longer the same as that of window icon in windows 10!
It is the same as the tray icon (next to the clock) now.
This is quite strange and the resolution is blurred since the tray icon image is too small.
The problem occurs on the desktop notification icon, too.
Dropbox windows app has the same problem (app icon in taskbar is the same as the tray icon, so as the notification icon)
Is this a new design for taskbar icon for windows 10?
If so, is there a API to change the icon to a customize image?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
Thank you for your information!
I still have some questions:
1. What does "same functionality" mean? It seems that the notification is a new feature in win 10.
2. I cannot find any update about the taskbar icon from win 8.1 to win 10. But the way to configure the icon is changed. This really bothers me because the blurred icon looks so ugly...
Thank you very much!
1. sorry typo, "some functionality"
2. can't help you there, i'm not encountering blurred icon. might be because of graphics driver compatibility.
try installing the latest graphics driver.

ZCM Agent 11.3.x - Remote Management - Windows User Variable

I noticed this back during the initial deployment of 11.3.1, however have not had a chance to comeback to it. Now we are at 11.3.2 and the issue seems to still be.
On login we have a script that runs via a bundle it tracks user, date, time, computer login info to 2 locations, one on the local workstation to a hidden folder and 2 on the network.....
It looks like this in the log file
"pwolfe" , "192.168.x.x" , "LPTP-PWOLFE" , "Tue 02/03/2015" , "11:44:20.05"
What I have noticed is if someone uses ZRM (Zen Remote Management) to manage the workstation / shadow a user for help or any other such thing...the next logon on the box will look like this
"LPTP-PWOLFE$" , "192.168.x.x" , "LPTP-PWOLFE" , "Tue 02/03/2015" , "11:44:20.05"
Notice the user variable went from the username to the computer name with a dollar sign. I would say it could be the script, however see below it works fine with the old agent installed.
If you reboot the computer its fine, you can login and out time after time and it will display correctly. However if someone remote manages the computer it is broke until the next restart.
here is the script that runs:
for /f "Tokens=2 Delims=[]" %%i in ('ping -4 -n 1 "%computername%"') do set IP=%%i
Echo "%username%" , "%IP%" , "%ComputerName%" , "%date%" , "%Time%" >>"\\192.168.x.x\support\utilities\logfiles\IPaddr essLog.txt"
Echo "%username%" , "%IP%" , "%ComputerName%" , "%date%" , "%Time%" >>"C:\Utilities\IPaddressLog.txt"
This is being called as a launch item under a user run bundle, it is set to run as logged in user.
This is not happening on the older 11.2.4 separate Zone / server setup that is still in use for the majority of people. Just on the newer 11.3.x environment.
If I remove the 11.3.x agent and install the 11.2.4 agent and point it to the old environment / server it works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Patrick

Thanks Craig,
I finally got some time to look at this again.
It appears on the first logon to a computer it runs correctly, if a Remote Management session takes place and once logged off and a log in is initiated you get the incorrect information. If you run the application from the Zen App Window it displays correctly. If you reboot the computer it works as expected for the first logon and then stops working if a remote session is initiated.
3 Straight logons, the 4th entry is when I ran it manually from the zen app window:
"pwolfe" , "192.168.30.75 " , "TDLARM280-50125" , "Tue 03/03/2015" , "14:53:33.77"

Can one pin all items from the bookmark toolbar to the Windows 7 Taskbar Quicklaunch icon?

Is it possible to have the favorites toolbar displayed as 'pinned favorites' on the Windows 7 Taskbar?
I know I can just drag an favorite from the Favorites Toolbar to the Firefox Quicklaunch icon,
but it looks really ugly;
It shows the default Firefox favicon with the web address partially displayed instead of the name
I have given it on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
Is there a way to preserve the favicon, and have the Favorites name displayed instead?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Nick.

Heloo,
thanks for the swift reply!
That does not resolve my issue.
My bookmarks toolbar is already nice and tidy. ([https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3fLyJeN1WiBYUV2aWloVVlGWHc/edit Screenshot])
What I am talking about, is getting them the same on the '''Windows 7 Taskbar'''.
They now look like [https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B3fLyJeN1WiBRVlKT3hzQ2FLek0 this].
The example shown is the address of my GMail inbox.
I would like to have it just show "GMail inbox" for example, instead of the url it is referring to, with the GMail favicon.

Large Icon in Windows 7 superbar/taskbar, how to?

Hi people,
in windows 7 i can switch to large icons in the superbar/taskbar. How can I define this large icon in my java application? Is it the icon which I set with "setIconImage" to the frame? But this icon is only 16x16 and it looks bad after being resized to a larger size. I can set a large icon via "setIconImage", but now this icon is rescaled to 16x16 and this looks bad in my application window title... And I can't set an "ico" file via "setIconImage" which may support several sizes.
Any chance to set one icon to the frame (setIconImage) and define another icons as large icon for the superbar/taskbar?
Thanks for your help,
jens bruhn

Did you try [Window#setIconImages|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Window.html#setIconImages(java.util.List)] ?
