Quicktime Icon in TaskBar

My son was recently at a website which planted a Quicktime icon down near the clock in the taskbar... I found no way to delete the icon. I even tried installing and reinstalling Quicktime, still the icon remains. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET RID OF THE ICON?

But how do you remove it from autostart!? I use it very seldom, I don´t want to be forced to close it every time I start the computer.. and I dont want to uninstall..

Office 2013 - Incorrect Icons In Taskbar When Apps Running

Hi,
I have a a strange issue relating to Office 2013 (all apps in suite) in our school based Windows 7 domain environment.
When students login and run any app from the office suite they launch correctly and are able to be used. However the icon that is displayed in the task bar for say, Word, is not that of Word but is the icon for Database Compare 2013. Powerpoint
as another example always displays the Publisher icon. If you right click the icon the options available also refer to the incorrect app, so instead of an option to bring the Powerpoint app to the forefront it says Publisher.
The incorrect icon is always the same one for each app whenever launched and is the same for all users.
We have updated Windows and the Office to the latest patches. Possibly worth noting that we are running this config on Apple iMacs using bootcamped Windows 7 but I don't personally believe this has any bearing as it's only Office related.I have search
for instances of this issue and see there is a hotfix for incorrect icons when in a remote session rather than physically logged onto a machine. I also see references to deleting the icon cache for the user but local user profiles are scrapped on the
machines here when the student logs off.
Any help or pointers are greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Radar.

I've reviewed screenshot from you initial post on Answer forum.

Since the icon shows fine in local but only incorrect through RDP session, I am thinking this might not be the promblem of Office application self. RDP session might not load the correct icon for Office duo to the file permission or wrong path.
Better to post your question to forum for Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services)

I can't find the QuickTime icon in System Preferences to upgrade to Quicktime 7 Pro

I just purchased a license key for QT7 Pro and the instructions say to go to System Prefs and click on the QuickTime icon. That's all well and good except for the fact that the icon is not present there. The QT X player is installed, however. What to I need to do to get QT icon to appear in Prefs so the laptop can be upgraded to Pro now?

Then try doing what the instructions mention in the link I provided you above.
To install the QuickTime Player 7 from the Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD:
Insert your Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Install DVD.
Open the Optional Installs folder and double-click "Optional Installs.mpkg".
Select the QuickTime 7 option and click Continue.
QuickTime Player 7 will be installed in your Utilities folder.

Obtaining the full file path specification from Flash Movie and QuickTime icons?

How do you obtain the full file path specification from Flash
Movie and QuickTime icons? I want the path and the file name that
is contained in these icons. I am using a "dive" to run through the
icons of a file, and when I come upon these two types of icons, I
want to obtain the above information that is contained in them. I
certainly can look in the property dialog box to get this info, but
there are many icons in these files, and I want to generate a list
of info based upon the various types of icons that I am processing.
Thanks

Missing options of "Enter Private Browsing" "Open new tab" and "Open new window" when right click (right context menu) firefox icon on taskbar

Missing options of "Enter Private Browsing" "Open new tab" and "Open new window" when right click (right context menu) firefox icon on taskbar.
i already tired complete uninstall and reinstall, but the options are still missing.

Thank You in advance for help. Best regards

Hello,
''jstavene wrote:''
can find nothing under the tools menu for private browsing?
Then it's not the same issue.
If Firefox is set to '''Never remember history''', then you're in “permanent private browsing” mode, in which case the menu item ''Stop Private Browsing'' will be grayed out. Perhaps that's the case, and you don't find the menu item easy to see?
* [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
If that's not the case, then menu items can be hidden using the userChrome.css file. Check if it exists, and if it's there, rename it, then restart Firefox.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
In Firefox Nightly (what will become Firefox 20), per-window private browsing has been added, so the menu item under the Tools menu is gone. It's been replaced by New Private Window under the File menu. I don't suppose it's very likely that you're using such a cutting-edge test version of Firefox though.
If that doesn't solve the problem, since it's a different issue, it would be best if you would ask a new question.

Converting Button in Icon in taskbar

There is a taskbar on the desktop. Generally at bottom where start resides. When we open any application one button is created in task bar with respect to application. If we minimise the application the button is still there. Can this button be removed in task bar & convert an icon in taskbar (Like icons at bottom right part of desktop).
Somp application does so. For example there is such type of facility in yahoo messenger when u minimize this it becomes icon in taskbar and when you open this it creates button at taskbar. Is there any way to do all this in java. I hope you all understand what i want.
Thanks in advance.

OK. Do you mean to put an little Icon in the Taskbar on Windows where the time and stuff like Virus shields have little icons? I don't think you can do that because not all os's have a taskbar like Winows. Java is cross-platform(WORA) so it would defeat some of the purpose if you could do that. But then again I have wanted to do that aswell, but I don't thinik you can.

Icon in taskbar not transparent

Just a very minor nitpicking issue:
The icon used for Raptor on the taskbar has a white background and is not transparent. This doesn't look very pretty. Probably one for the very last entry on your issue list.

and maybe the icon should be more expressive. Some black border around symbol etc. See my current icons in taskbar - it's hard to find the raptor's one:

Missing internet connection icon in taskbar

Missing internet connection icon in taskbar windows xp 8250

A system restore will not do it, you would have to do a full system
REPAIR.
If you copy Just the keys above and past them into notepad and save them to your desktop as any name you want, just make sure they have a *.reg extension, then double click on them and the keys will be added to your regristry. There are two keys above
so make two *.reg files.
This will make one file:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{7007ACCF-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}]
@="Network Connections Tray"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{7007ACCF-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}\DefaultIcon]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{7007ACCF-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}\InProcServer32]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\NETSHELL.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Both"
This will make the other file:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{7007ACCF-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}]
@="Network Connections Tray"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{7007ACCF-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}\DefaultIcon]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{7007ACCF-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}\InProcServer32]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\NETSHELL.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Both"
When the key's have been added to your registry you must reboot for them to take effect.
Remember, these keys are for XP, do not know about other OS's

Mp4 files have lost their quicktime icons!!

just noticed this and not sure when it happened
all my .mp4 files on all hard drives connected to my 10.4.9 G5 have lost their quicktime icons. they all open in quicktime just fine, but they do not automatically have the proper quicktime icons anymore. .mov files still have their icons
it's not an operational problem but I'd still like to solve it
only thing I can think of is that I upgraded my quicktime and itunes to the latest versions within the past couple of days.
I've repaired permissions and rebooted to no avail
has anyone seen this and know how to fix it?

Hi David,
Get Info on one of the affected files with the blank icon. Click on the icon in the Get Info window and press the Delete key. (not the Backspace key)
Provided that the default application to open .mp4 files is QuickTime player, the icon should change to the standard QT icon.
If this works, change all files of that type to open with the QuickTime Player by default. (unfortunately I'm at work, on a PC, and can't give you the button detail verbatim - working from memory now) That should reassociate the QT player with all .mp4 files, and thus assign the correct icon.
Hope this helps,
Steve

ADobe Bridge show Quicktime icon

When viewing clips stored on my external drive in the view panel all I see is the Quicktime icon and no obvious way to play them.
1. How do I change the Quicktime icon to a thumbnail view?
2. How do I view them?
The clip is HDV footage.
Thanks
Kent

I didn't intentionally convert it to Quicktime so I can't answer. I am a rookie and all this conversion is Greek to me.
Enjoy

Trying to read some pdf document in safari, i only have a quicktime icon is it possible to fix this?icon

i often can't read pdf files when surfing on the net ,Safari try to upload the file and display a quicktime icon, in the best cases i have only the first page of the document is it possible to fix the problem ?
sorry for my bad english

Right click on a pdf file and choose "Get info" then on the info window, from the drop down list select an application you would like to use to view your pdf files (Preview would be a good start) and click on a "Change All" button bellow.
This will tell the Mac to use Preview or any other application you choose to open a pdf files.
Additionally, you may uncheck "Open safe files after downloading" in Safari.( Safari > Preferences > General) at the bottom of the window,

Can't remove Access Connections and ThinkVantage Toolbox icons from taskbar

I've just re-installed from my Lenovo system back-up disks.
The Lenovo Power Controls icon on the taskbar was easy enough to remove. There was a checkbox under Options.
The Access Controls options show a checkbox to remove that icon as well, but the entire screen is grayed out (inactive). I changed to my admin account and unchecked all the boxes (the screen even says it will affect all users). I also went into the Global settings and unchecked the box there as well (not sure why it's in two places). I rebooted. The icon is still in my non-admin account, although it is gone from the admin account.
On the admin account, all the boxes are unchecked. On the non-admin account, the "Show Accees Connections icon on taskbar" is still checked, but still grayed out. Not sure how to proceed. Definitely do not want this big, ugly icon on my taskbar.
Also, the ThinkVantage Toolbox icon suddenly appeared on this install (wasn't there before, haven't ever seen it). This one doesn't even have an options section with a checkbox to remove it from the taskbar. It also never showed up in the admin account from day one, only in the non-admin account.
Any information on removing these two icons from the taskbar would be greatly appreciated.

As far as the Lenovo Thinkvantage Toolbox icon, this is probably PC-Doctor.
Launch PC-Doctor. Click the settings button. You can then uncheck the show icon in taskbar item.

A warm welcome to Apple discussions!
A 2003 iMac cannot support Snow Leopard 10.6; you'd need an Intel processor and that cannot be retrofitted to your Mac. What does "About this Mac" in your Apple menu say for your processor speed? What does it say about how much RAM you have?
If the processor is 1ghz or faster, you can run OS 10.5; otherwise, you are maxed out at 10.4.11.
Also, are you running any commercial ("pay for") anti-virus or security software? They are notorious for slowing most Macs to a fraction of their speed potential.
A too-full hard drive can drag down performance, especially if you don't have a lot of physical RAM installed. If you single-click your hard drive icon and then do command i, you'll see the disk usage. Looks like this:
The value for "Used" should be no more than about 90 percent of "Capacity." In the example image, that drive has about 34 percent of its space used and 66 percent free--more than enough. Please post what you see for your Capacity and Used numbers
There are a few more things we might check but this is a good start.
Awaiting your information,
Allan

Windows XP - no icons, no taskbar, cannot right click

Hello TechNet Support -
Wasn't able to view all forums, am hoping this question will appear in the correct one.
Helping a friend with his Dell desktop - Windows XP SP3. When we try to start up, the desktop background picture appears, but that's it. No desktop icons, no taskbar, cannot right click, nothing.
When I open Task Manager via Ctrl-Alt-Del, I can click the New Task button and run a few programs. IE, Outlook Express, and others. We cannot get to File Manager or any file window that would access his data. Control.exe does not open. [NOTE: sorry, I said
Control.exe but meant Explorer.exe]
I opened a command prompt window and ran chkdsk without /F, it listed a number of index errors. when I ran with /F and said yes to run at next boot Chkdsk did run, but no results, no changes were made, even with /F.
All help appreciated,
John

Ugh. I had this exact problem many years ago three separate times. I fixed it by going into the control panel...have you just typed in "control" or "explorer" to see if that works? Unfortunately I cannot recall for
the life of me what I did after that...I can try to see if I can find something on it later on today but I was able to find my solution online so it should be out there somewhere. There shouldn't be any reason to wipe the system, but the third time it
happened to me was when I moved up to the next OS. Just sayin'
Please do not read this sentence. Please ignore the previous sentence.

After installing version 7.5.5, all FLV files loose their QuickTime icon

Hi,
Just installed the new update for QuickTime, and noticed that an FLV file on my desktop lost it's QuickTime icon - and now has a VLC icon instead. However, the defaults are fine and it still opens in QuickTime perfectly.
Minor bug, but not nice.
How can it be solved?
Thanks,
Rudi

Yeah, you're right - though you can download something to append nice icons to files unknown to QuickTime. You'll also need Perian.
You can find it here: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/25243
It's a nice little script that works on both Leopard and Tiger
It adds icons for AC3, A52, DIVX, FLV, MKA, MKV and VOB
Good luck
