EXE stays visible in task bar after closing

I created an EXE of my VI. First time I have done this with 8.20. When I run the EXE it runs fine but when I close it the windows task bar shows the EXE but when you click on it, it does nothing and takes quit a while to go away. This happens on the DEV machine and on two other machines both are running XP. I thought it may be because of VI being rather large so I created a simple VI with just a while loop an event structure and a stop button. I still have the same results. I do not remember this happening in other versions. Do i have to make sure to uncheck or check some settings for this to go away.
Any help or Ideas are welcomed.
Thanks,
Joe.

Here is the actual VI. Have a look. It is not just this VI it is all of them that I build.

How to make my application icon ancor in task bar after Installation

I want my application icon to acor in the task bar after installation such that users can right-clik on it
do some changes to the applications. I want it in the active icons bar next to the timer (around there). How do I achieve this

Unpin from Task bar AFTER program is deleted

I have a situation where I am trying to use PowerShell to Unpin a shortcut from the task bar after the program has been deleted. The shortcut has been renamed (from the idiotic name Autodesk used to start with) and thus it is orphaned after uninstall because
Windows doesn't manage these things gracefully. The code I am using uses the common approach of digging into the shortcut to extract the Verbs array, and then assigned the Unpin verb to $Verb and then does a $Verb.DoIt(). But of course the the target no longer
exists, so there is no Verbs object to dig a Verb out of.
I have found the various related posts, and there are issues
1: Deleting the reg key and losing all pinned items is a no go. I am removing one piece of software, and I want to remove that shortcut and no others.
2: I know I can do this manually, but my whole goal is automation, and the fact that I CAN do it manually suggests there should be a way to do it with PowerShell.
3: I have tried getting the Verb from the shortcut as well, but it seems like the shortcut really is just a passthrough to the Target, so no target, no Verb from the shortcut.
4: I have also tried just deleting the shortcut file from User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar, but that leaves an even more orphaned shortcut on the task bar, that not only doesn't have a target, it doesn't
even have an icon, just a white "page".
So, how does one get to whatever Verbs are being accessed when doing this manually? Is there some way to apply a generic Verb?

Okay so after some digging i found a way for you to do it but the best way i have found is using the actual user rights. I tested this out as a login script that ran before the user even saw their desktop.
The task bar has a registry key that has to be cleared and when explorer is started the key gets created based on the items listed in the directory the shortcuts are stored. If you have any issues let me know.
#Remove the chached settings in the registry. This will comeback once explorer is restarted
get-item -path HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
remove-itemproperty -name Favorites, FavoritesRemovedChanges, FavoritesChanges, FavoritesResolve, FavoritesVersion -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
Out-Null
#Remove ShortCut From Current User:
Remove-Item -Path "C:\Users\$($Env:UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\Pandora.lnk" -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null
#Restart Explorer
Stop-Process -Name "explorer" -Force | Out-Null
#once explorer stops it should restart itself

Minimize LabVIEW Application (EXE) to Icon on Task Bar?

Hey,
I want to run a LabVIEW Application (EXE File, LabVIEW 8.2) everytimes in backgrund. Frontpanel should visible only on activation. After minimize application only a small icon (not the large Task Button!) should visible on right corner of Task Bar. Is that possible by a LabVIEW Application?

The right corner of the Task Bar is called System Tray.
This can be done with G Toolbox -> Systray Icon VIs:

After installing zone Alarm extreme 10, firefox.exe 32 stays running in the background after closing, making it not possible to open it again.

After installing the latest Zone Alarm Extreme v10, on windows 7 x64, when I close firefox, the window closes but firefox.exe 32 remains running in the background, which makes that when I want to open firefox again, after about a minute I get the error that an instance of firefox is still running. I go to task manager and end task of firefox.exe 32 and then open firefox again.
This is now happening regularly.

This seemed to come out of the blue, very much as described by anima42. I also am a Ubuntu 10.04 user. I have pondered on the first reply above, and though I don't, and didn't, use Tabberwocky, I was using Tab Mix Plus. Having removed this, the problem seems to have gone away. Another possible clue as to what went wrong: I use a constant Firefox profile located in my home directory. I dabbled with Ubuntu 11.04 a week or so ago, which runs (I think) a more updated Firefox. This Firefox was operating on my default profile, as you would. It may have broken something so it now doesn't play nicely with the 10.04 setup. Just surmising.

EXCEL.EXE process is keep running even after closing all the handles

I am using Excel Report Instrument functions for creating excel application and sheet,workbook after reading/writing in to excel file am closing all the handles using CA_DiscardObjHandle (handle);     even after file is getting closed m checking it in TaskManager then one EXCEl.EXE process is keep running there,pls let me know how to deal with this....
Solved!
Go to Solution.

A Kumar:
Have you tried running the example program excelreportdemo.prj that ships with CVI? It ends the excel process by discarding multiple handles, and it works even if you're editing a cell or have an Excel dialog open, etc. Try running this without modification and verify that the excel process is closed when you quit the CVI app.
Here's the Quit function from excelreportdemo. It checks for and closes handles for the worksheet, chart, workbook, and excel application.
int CVICALLBACK Quit (int panel, int control, int event,
        void *callbackData, int eventData1, int eventData2)
    switch (event)
        case EVENT_COMMIT:
            if (worksheetHandle)
                CA_DiscardObjHandle(worksheetHandle);
            if (chartHandle)
                CA_DiscardObjHandle(chartHandle);
            if (workbookHandle)
                ExcelRpt_WorkbookClose(workbookHandle, 0);
                CA_DiscardObjHandle(workbookHandle);
            if (applicationHandle)
                ExcelRpt_ApplicationQuit(applicationHandle);
                CA_DiscardObjHandle(applicationHandle);
            QuitUserInterface (0);
            break;
    return 0;

Websites stay open in background even after closing them

Hey everyone,
I've been having issues with firefox lately. Pretty much, it seems like Firefox is keeping websites open in the background even after I 'x' them out. For instance, if I start a video on Youtube and leave it running after leaving the page.. it will continue playing in the background. If I go on facebook, I will receive facebook messenges even when it's not open on any tab. The various plug-ins for firefox never close and I have to manually force-quit them or they hog all of my CPU. The only solution I have so far is to close and restart firefox more routinely than I would like.
I'm also having a problem with entering websites into the address bar. Basically, new windows won't work for typing in websites. The solution I've found is to disable ANY of my add-ons (it doesn't matter which).. then I will be able to use the address bar for that window.
I am using the latest version of Firefox. The plug-ins I use are:
Ad block 2.64
Download status bar 10.6.0
Monitor master 5.2
No script 2.6.8.36
Open link in new tab 0.1.201407301
PDF viewer 1.0.277
Session manager 0.8.1.5
Super tab mode 1.85
URL fixer 4.1
Mac OSX 10.9.3
Please help! I want to continue using firefox but this is getting annoying!
Thanks!!

That response is unusable. You should say what to do and where

Firefox hang in task list after closing successfully

OS: windows 7 32 and 64-bit
Symptom: firefox can be open can close "properly" without error message. But when you look in the task list, firefox is still there. You still can open firefox without problem. It will add another process if you close it. So more and more processes in the task list if you repeating open and close after surfing some web sites. You cannot kill the task, even you are administrator. The only way to get rid of it is to re-start the PC.
It happens in 3 of my PCs.

Most often hanging at exit is caused by Extensions, maybe plugins. Try Firefox Safe Mode; don't check any items, just click "Continue to Safe Mode". http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

"Firefox is running" but not visible in task bar

"Firefox is running" is message on screen but there is no evidence of that and it does not appear on the taskbar so it cannot be "closed." What now?
Can't get access to Yahoo Games. Why? Must use IE to get to games. Why?

This may not be the best or only way to do this on version 2.1 but you can try these steps:
Login as the schema that owns the application. Go to SQL Workshop and run:
select v('WORKSPACE_ID') from dual;
Say that returns 9999999999999.
Say your application ID is 555.
Now connect in SQL*Plus as FLOWS_020100 and run this:
begin
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id('9999999999999');
update wwv_flows set build_status = 'RUN_AND_BUILD' where id = 555 and security_group_id=9999999999999;
commit;
end;

When i click on exe the thing loads to the task bar and will not go to the desktop the desktop even after clicking on

when i click on the firefox exe it loads my home page but will not load to the desktop it stays in the task bar and when i put the cursor over it i can see the the page is loaded but when i try to get it to pop onto the desktop nothing happens uninstall it an did a reinstalled same prob did a repair same problem did a system restore and sill no desktop having to use google chrome and i hate it'''bold text'''

Alright, well let's try this then.
Restart your computer. After you restart your PC, let's try starting Firefox up in Safe Mode. Read [[Safe Mode|this article]] to see how to start in Safe Mode. If Firefox starts up normally, then this is likely a problem with your extensions, so we will need to disable them one by one (or disable them all and re-enable them one by one) to figure out the offender.
Another thing is please update to Firefox 11 (go to [[www.getfirefox.com|www.getfirefox.com]] to download it since you can't get Firefox open to update). It does have some bug fixes that might help your problem.

windows get minimized to the taskbar automatically when you allow them
to be minimized and the user clicks the third icon from the top right,
or you can do it programmatically in newer LabVIEW versions by setting
the minimzed state. What this guy meant was that he wants to minimize
to the system tray which is a very different thing than the taskbar ;-)
I answered with two possible Toolkits in another thread to do this.
Doing it yourself with shell32 functionality is rather thirty work
since it involves callback functions and quite some infrastructure
around that to really work well. Nothing for someone not quite seasoned
in C programming.

How to minimize a VI to the task bar upon calling it

I'm trying to find a way to automatically minimize a VI's front panel to the
Windows task bar after calling it from another VI. Thanks in advance for
your assistance.

Thanks, your link didn't work for me but if anyone goes to the NI Developer
Zone at http://zone.ni.com/devzone/devzoneweb.nsf/
and then search for Windows Utilities the second search match is the link to
the zip file with the llbs for the 32-bit Windows Utilities.
Thanks again,

Premiere Pro CS 6.exe stays active after closing the program

I am experiencing a problem with Premiere Pro CS 6.03. When I close the program, the second monitor would not return to desktop (it stays a black screen). The premiere pro cs.exe is active in taskmanager. Only after I end the exe process would the second monitor return to desktop. I am not using any third party hardware, only Adobe player for second monitor out. This problem occurs often, but not every time I use Premiere. I have never experienced this problem in Premiere Pro CS 5.03, which is still installed on the same PC. The technical Spec is: Intel 3930K, 32 GB RAM, GTX 560, Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I have tried to toggle between different NVidia drivers, but with no effect.
Any help would be appreciated!

I've had the process stay open after closing the program as well, but only on one of my two machines. For me, the 6.0.3 update seemed to correct the issue. Not sure why it's still happening in your case.
