Can't pin RoboHelp to the Windows 7 taskbar (solution)

I finally figured out how to pin RoboHelp 8 to the taskbar in Windows 7!
Create a shortcut to RoboHelp on the desktop.
Rename the shortcut RH. The shortcut name must not contain the word "help".
Drag the shortcut to the taskbar.
This took a long time to figure out. I finally found the answer here:
http://www.west-wind.com/weblog/posts/32765.aspx
I hope someone finds this helpful.

The cause of this has been known for some time, it is the same reason that RoboHelp has never appeared on the Recently Used list through various versions of Windows. There's a short reference to this in Snippets on my site and there was a link to a Microsoft Knowledge Base article that confirmed all this.
Rick Strahl's comprehensive explanation is very useful as it does explain how someone can fix this on their own PC if they so choose. It's a great link, thank you for finding it and taking the trouble to register here and post it.

How to prevent FireFox from automatically pinning itself to the Windows 7 taskbar

Please tell me how to permanently disable FF from pinning itself to the taskbar?
Every time I launch FF and then close it, it pins itself to the taskbar. If I wanted it to be pinned there, I would have done it myself.
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and I have a FireFox link in the Quick-Launch area that I have re-added to the taskbar, so pinning FF to the taskbar is redundant and space consuming.

Set the Integer pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

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.

How can I get the list view of tabs on the windows 7 taskbar exclusively and not just when I have a lot of tabs (over 13?) open at once?

How can I have tabs stack in the windows 7 taskbar before I have 13 tabs open?

Upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and check

Copy Shortcuts to the Windows 7 Taskbar using MDT

I would like to copy items to the Windows 7 taskbar for all users, and do this during deployment as part of a task sequence. Does anyone know if this can be done. I found a script called pinItem.vbs, but do not know if it could be done from a TS, nor
how it would be.

Hi Scott,
I would recommend this script:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ScriptCenter/b66434f1-4b3f-4a94-8dc3-e406eb30b750/
It's a poweshell module that allows you to pin, items to both the task bar and start menu during your reference image build task sequence.
It's very simple to use this with MDT 2012 U1. Simply place the module in the folder {deploymentshare}\Tools\Modules\PinnedApplications\PinnedApplications.psm1
Then for example create a powershell "script" that looks something like this:
Import-Module PinnedApplications.psm1
Set-PinnedApplication -Action PinToStartMenu -FilePath "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Internet Explorer.lnk"
Set-PinnedApplication -Action PinToTaskbar -FilePath "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office\Microsoft Outlook 2010.lnk"
Since the module is placed in the Tools\Modules folder, MDT can find this module easily during deployment without needing to specify a path where the module can be found.
Now the most important part of everything.
Whether it's SCCM or MDT that you use to deploy your custom image, you need to edit the unattend.xml of the task sequence that is used to
>>>Deploy<<<
the image. The default user profile is copied upon first boot after the image is applied, and not during the sysprep execution of your task sequence before your image is captured.
The CopyProfile setting is not enabled by default with the unattend.xml files created by MDT or SCCM, you will need to use WSIM to add this entry, more info can be found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff716261.aspx
Dispite the article saying you cannot pin applications to start menu and task bar (and this is normally true if you do these tasks manually, then these items will not persist in the new user profile), this scripted method actually does work.
Kind regards,
Stephan Schwarz

How to configure Windows RE/OEM Recovery Partition with MDT
How to configure Windows RE/OEM Recovery Partition with MDT 2012 Update 1

With hardware acceleration enabled, and with plenty of tabs open, using the Windows 7 taskbar preview option will almost always crashed the nVidia display driver.

Latest Firefox 4 beta 6.
nVidia GT240 1GB DDR3 with driver version 258.96.
Windows 7 Ultimate.
If I have plenty of tabs opened, in Firefox 4 beta 6 with hardware acceleration enabled, using the Windows 7 Taskbar preview feature (that will show all the tabs Firefox has loaded) will cause the Nvidia display driver to crash. When this happen, the GUI part of Firefox will be unusable and has to be killed via Task Manager.
This doesn't happen if hardware acceleration is disabled.

It is beta software and the older 4.0 b6 version may not work with all display drivers.

Firefox is BEHIND the windows 7 taskbar.

After opening up firefox, instead of leveling above the windows 7 taskbar at the bottom of the screen, it appears behind it. Disallowing me to access certain links on web pages at the bottom of its page. Like the chat window in Facebook, i can no longer type because the taskbar is in front of it.

I found this solution - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/916677
However, I think that it is strange to have to do this every time I update.

Why can't I click on the window bar in quicktime X windows?

For some reason, I can't click on the window bar at the top of movie windows in Quicktime X. When I do so, it acts as if I'd clicked on whatever was behind the movie window. This means that I have to close windows with the keyboard rather than clicking, for example.
This started happening before I upgraded to Mavericks, and continued after. Reinstalling the OS did nothing.

Did you use the Migration Assistant updater before you installed Mavericks?
I ask as a resident problem that follows one across a system upgrade usually comes on the heels of a data migration. (I was vexed right up through 10.6 by a migration of data from Panther!)
If so, backup all your files and do a clean install. It would be easier to walk you through if I knew the configuration of your Mac and whether or not you have a bootable optical disk or an image on a USB thumb drive.

Photoshop and the Windows 7 Taskbar Jump List

One great tool for Windows 7 users is the Taskbar. start up Photoshop and the icon will show up in the taskbar. Right-click on that icon and you can pin it to the taskbar for one-click launch. The best thing about this is the list (aka "Jump List") of the 10 most recent files you will see if you right-click on the taskbar icon. You can also edit this list to remove files that you have deleted or simply pin a file to the list. Click on a file anywhere in the list and it will open. But what if you would like to increase the number of recent files? You can,and here's how:
Right-click on a vacant spot in the taskbar. Click on Properties in the context menu. Then click on the Start Menu tab. Now follow the screenshot:
You can set that jump list number up to 60 items, but your screen resolution is the limiting factor. I can set it up to 25,much better than 10 and it is for all icons in the taskbar. It's a quick way to open a file without opening Bridge or going to the File > Open Recent files list in PS.
This tip doesn't make the rounds too often and it's worth a repeat. I can only vouch for Windows 7, let us know if it works in Vista or XP.

Good plan. You'll like my Configure the Windows 8 "To Work" Options book too if you go that route. No, Windows 8 does not offer compelling reasons to move up. In fact a lot of stuff is just deleted that had value. Virtually no one can figure out what Microsoft's "strategy" is with this - I've come to conclude they don't really have a concerted strategy, and they're just trying to cover it up with Marketing BS.
About the only things I've seen going for Windows 8 are:
It's oriented toward tablets, so there will be some new tablet offerings coming out that will run a flavor of it.
It's pared down to such an extreme that it runs noticeably leaner and faster on a desktop system.
There's a cheap upgrade available ($39.99 if you have any older version of Windows).
Obvious negatives:
Completely revamped Start screen with the desktop being put off to the side. Desktop apps considered "legacy" now.
No start button, but non-obvious "hot corners" you have to just know about.
Little attempt to make it possible to use just the mouse and click on stuff, as has been the tradition.
No visual styles on the desktop at all, making it look plain and flat, and making it difficult to use multiple applications at once.
Microsoft wanting you to walk through their online App Store at every turn.
There's a web page describing all the useful stuff they've removed... It's no wonder the upgrade is going to be cheap:

Upon selecting the firefox window from the windows 7 taskbar, it is no longer in maximized view

i have windows 7 and firefox 6.0.2 (should be up to date), and almost everytime i select the firefox window in the taskbar, it opens, but only does so exiting maximized screen and returning to the "restore"-mode, i.e. the size that the window normally assumes upon clicking the "restore" button (the one on the top right corner usually between "minimize" and "close").

Where I can find an aequivalent to the windows hosts file in mac??

Hello,
I have the following problem: After switching from windows to Mac I try to set up lotus notes on my Mac. In Windows it was necessary to ad an IP adress in the hosts file which you can find under windows/system32/drivers/etc/ Now I have the problem to find this “host’s list” in my Mac, but it seems that without this IP an in a “host list” notes can not synchronise the database with the server. Does anybody have an idea where I can configure this in Mac?
Thanks,
Thomas

The hosts file is in /etc and is editable only by root (or an admin user with "sudo"). You can use Terminal to access it, or use the Go menu in Finder to Go to the /etc folder.
Cheers,
Rodney
