Duo monitor and windows task bar...

Hi, i have two monitors. And now here is my question/problem, when i watch videos or live streams(main monitor) i usually have another page for browsing open on my 2nd monitor and i stay on that page while watching live stream at the same time. However the windows task bar wont disappear and it remains and over-laps the bottom part of my main monitor. Is there any way to change this or perhaps theres no hope?

Hi,
if my understanding is correct your issue is more related to primary/secondary monitor setting in Windows. Please note that when in extended mode the taskbar will normally be only shown on the primary monitor.
The Windows taskbar will disappear when you use FF in fullscreen mode (F11) which you may find useful when streaming video from web.
Hope it helps

Photo bin photos and Windows Task bar

My opened photos, elements, etc. are showing up not only in the photo bin, but also all across my Windows Task bar. Is there any way to only have them show up in the Elements 11 photo bin?

Hi,
If you want to have floating windows, then each window will have a separate icon on the Taskbar. However, you can group the icon together so that it looks like just one.
Right click on the Taskbar and select properties. In the Properties dialog box check the setting for Taskbar buttons.
The above is for Windows 7 but Windows 8 should be similar

a way out of it??Yes. Writing it in VB.I'm sorry, I'm too tired to actually read. I thought you want to limit it to Windows. No, you won't be limiting it to Windows, as your application will hopefully not crash in case there is no start menu entry or system tray icon.

Can you enable and disable windows task bar

I there a dynamic way to enable and disable the windows task bar?

I am not clear on a way to do this, but if it were possible, you would have to make calls to Windows SDK. You would use the Call Library Function Node to access one of the Windows System DLLs to do this. I would suggest checking http://msdn.microsoft.com. This is a great resource for SDK related issues.

Windows Task Bar Icon (Access 2013)

This is my first database I created from scratch in Access 2013, and I am not sure how to change my Windows Task Bar Icon use the Application Icon. Not a huge deal, but to keep consistency between my systems, it would be nice to resolve.
How does one get Access 2013 to use the Application Icon to show in the Windows Task Bar when the program is launched?

Hi Mark,
>> it wasn't a big issue, it is just by assigning an Icon in Access 2010, the application magically had that same icon on the task bar showing open programs.<<
Based on my test, the icon in Windows Task Bar will not change after I assign an icon for Access 2010. I tested in Access 2010 on Windows 7, here is the screenshot for your reference:

Windows task bar locks when .vi is running

The Windows task bar locks when the .vi is running.
How do I enable the windows task bar so I can multi-task when my .vi is running? Is this new with LabVIEW7?

Thanks Allen, I thought you may have had the answer as I do have a clock function running all the time, but I have a delay in that loop. I figured out what is going wrong. If I maximize the .vi, then the task bar will not function when the .vi is running. So, I did not maximize the .vi, and chose 'Size the front panel to the width and height of the entire screen' on the Window Size category under vi properties, and the task bar now works when the .vi is running. I feel that I should be able to have the front panel maximized, and still use the task bar. I do have 'Always on top' selected in my Start/Settings/Taskbar options. Thanks!

Hiding windows task bar

I am working on a custom TS operator interface written in CVI 5.5. I am trying to hide the windows task bar. I have used
SetPanelAttribute (panel, ATTR_SYSTEM_MENU_VISIBLE, 0);
and this works, except that when my modelsupport DLL puts a popup on the screen, the taskbar becomes visible again while the popup is present. How can I stop this?

Hi Byron,
I have tried to reproduce the problem you are describing and it seems to work fine for me. One thing I am somewhat confused by is that you say you used the SetPanelAttribute call to hide the "windows taskbar". I believe you are actually talking about the "system menu" that is accessed via the icon on the left side of a window's title bar, as the "windows task bar" is actually the floating menu bar displayed at the bottom of the Window's desktop and contains the infamous Start menu.
Anyhow, I have created an example TS 2.0.1 sequence file that calls a CVI dll which spawns a new thread and displays a panel that has the system menu hidden. If you run the sequence you will see that when the modelsupport.dll displays the modal UUT serial number dialo
g and pass/fail banner dialogs, it does not change the visibility of the system menu displayed by the CVI dll UI. (the reason I create new threads to display the dialog is so that the call to the dll does not wait on RunUserInterface to complete and returns execution to the sequence file immediately).
**Note: The dll project was created in CVI 6.0, and the sequence file in TS 2.0.1, please state what versions of CVI and TS you are using if you want help with a specific version. You do not need TS 2.0.1 to use the dll I created, just simply call the lone function in the dll in a sequence file with the CVI adapter and run the file with Test UUTs in whatever version of TS you have. Since the dll was created in CVI 6.0 you may need to install the CVI 6.0 RTE, which is available on ni.com under the downloads section, and it is fully compatible with previous versions of CVI.
So, just give this a shot to see if you can discern anything from it.

Disguised Windows task bar if executable is running.

Hi,
I configured my vi in such a way that the Windows task bar is disguised while the vi is running. However, after I built an executable with the application builder, the Windows task bar remains visible while the exe is running. Why's that? How can I make the Windows task bar to vanish if the executable is running? I'd like to have the full screen modus, if the program runs.
Thanks,
Peter

I'm not seeing the title bar when I run an exe in which it was removed in configuring the windows appearance. When you are building the application, check the settings under "VI settings" to make sure that they agree with what you configured in the vi itself.
I built a very simple vi and when it runs there is a borderless frontpanel (see attached)

Running EXE Duplicate task in Window Task Bar

When I am running a particular exe, I am always getting two items in my window taskbar. One time would says "programX.vi", and the other one would says just "programX". I don't need two. I just want one on the window task bar. How do I get rid of one? They are both referring to the same exe running.

Display window task bar on web page opened in kiosk mode.

I am using IE8 in Window 7.
I open a certain web page in kiosk mode (call IE browser with -k option, a full screen without window frame). How can the window task bar be displayed at the bottom of the web page while the web page is in kiosk mode?
Thank you for advice.

Hi,
If you are using kiosk mode for a public access terminal, then you use the default Guest user account and use GPO to limit their access to other applications that are installed at the machine level.
How the web browser opens links from other programs is set in Internet Options.
I don't think your EULA's cover Word or Outlook on public access computers.
Allowing the public to access the windows shell is asking for trouble.... putty and your networks mud.
Firstly you should update the machine with the latest Windows updates and IE11. And download the admx files and use GPEdit applied to the Guest account to lock down the machine for that user account.(including the shell)

I am trying to download a variety of files and when it is finished, the Mac freezes up and the task bar continues to blink on and off. I have to go into Firefox and actually quit the application to continue. Any help is very much appreciated

are you backing up files, or doing a Time machine backup, either way, the Time machine will STOP when finished and show "last backup at XXXXXX" meaning its done...... OR if when transferring files, it will show a progress bar on your desktop and vanish when files are copied.
Open up the Hitachi drive (your G drive is made by Hitachi, and the best made by the way).....and see if the files are there.
a MORE VISUAL way is to open the hard drive file, and drag and drop files INTO the Gdrive and you can see them visually be copied there as you do it.
To see your HD on your desktop GOTO FINDER......PREFERENCES....then GENERAL TAB.........check the box marked HARD DRIVES.........then your Gdrive will appear on your desktop........open it from there, and DRAG and drop files from anywhere INTO the Gdrive....... easy visual way to see the files being copied into the Gdrive.

Windows task bar not appearing while in itunes full screen

My Window 7 task bar does not appear while in itunes full screen after updating to itunes 10.5. I checked that it functions correctly with all of my other programs and it used to work fine in previous versions of itunes. It is frustrating when I am trying to check battery power, access my wi-fi hard drive, etc. I have been pressing the windows button to pull up the start menu then I can see whaat I need but this seems to be only a work around. Is there some sort of a check box or something I may have missed in itunes? Does anyone else have this issue?

If it worked OK in the test library give this a try:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Since upgrading to 9.01, FF starts up with previous tabs open. Hovering over the FF icon in the Windows Task Bar shows the thumbnails of the pages. But clicking any of the thumbnails to bring the browser window up fail.

I can right click the FF icon in the task bar and click Open New Window, and a new blank window appears, but none of the existing tabs will open.

I lost my Start button and my Task Bar

I have been dealing with a serious virus for a couple weeks now that makes my computer run extremely slow. I ran several free antivirus and antimalware programs trying to fix my problem. This resulted in getting an error msg on start up that states "Windows
Explorer has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. After Explorer closes I have no desktop. Its a black and blank screen. I can still get to Explorer
by using ctrl-alt-del however I no longer have a Start button or a Task Bar on my Explorer home page.
I have tried several online suggestions on retrieving the Stop button with no success. I'm sure the blank screen at start-up is a result of the virus but I have no clue on getting rid of the virus at this point.
Please help me out if you have any ideas...Thank you!!

Try this tool: Malicious Software Removal Tool

If you have a restore point, try to return the system to an earlier point in time when things worked correctly.
Or use Startup Repair to fix this issue, please refer to this link:

When i log onto my hp pavilion it wont allow me to go to my desktop and my task bar is missing

So I have a HP Pavilion 15-e021nr Notebook PC and recently I reinstalled the audio drive and touchpad since I was having issues with those two and when I rebooted my PC all of a sudden I'm not able to get to my desktop from the Windows page. I am able to log on but it just stays on the Windows page instead of going to my desktop. It just freezes but I'm able to move the mouse. I think my PC is updated to Windows 8 but I'm not quite sure... my task bar isn't working but I can still see the time and all the items usually on the bottom right but everything else on the left like my Internet Explorer and etc. is gone. I was able to get to my desktop just now but it only works if I tap on the windows button and tap the screen fast but I'm sitting here with no task bar and no audio....
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME??? I would highly appreciate it
I'm really bad with technology...

Hello Srey,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the computer is experiencing issues in regards to booting to the desktop, lack of audio and the touchpad not working. I can assist you with all of these!
I will simply provide a link to information on how to resolve each issue, separately:
Before anything else is done, please make sure you try every step in this thread: Troubleshooting Guide: Audio does not Work after a Certain Period of Time
This is particularly for the sound issue. However, some of the other issues could be resolve by following the thread.
Next, I located an interesting article on how you can configure the computer to boot to the desktop in Windows 8+. The article is linked here: How to Boot to the Desktop in Windows 8 & Windows 8.1
Finally, to troubleshoot the touchpad, you will want to look at this document: Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 8)
Please let me know all of your results. Thanks!
