How do I place an icon in the task bar of a frequently used site (like Yahoo and Facebook have)?

I've tried holding down the cursor and dragging a website I'm working on, into the task bar and it doesn't work. I know there's an easy way.... please help

When I was using Windows XP, the only things I saw in the task bar were shortcuts to the applications I was running. The system tray also has shortcuts, but to background processes that have changeable settings.

  • Need to keep Tray Icon on the task bar permanent

    Hi everyone;
    I wrote a Java program which creates an tray Icon on the taskbar and whenever the user clicks on the icon, a website on the default browser is open. When this program is executed, this icon is created and when the computer is rebooted, the icon is disappeared and next time I need to run the program again to create this icon. I'm guessing that this icon is disappeared because JVM is turned off.
    I need to have this icon on the task bar every time that the computer turns on. I need somehow to automatically run my Java program when the computer turns on. I'm wondering if you know how to do this.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    If you are under windows, you can put a link in the startup folder.

  • Why there is an icon in the task bar when Firefox is running?!

    There is an icon in task bar, and some popup channels upon left-click.
    I have been using Firefox for many years because it's CLEAN but this icon makes me feeling uncomfortable. I don't find the way to disable this icon in options or somewhere else.

    The iTunes Icon on the task bar;
    You need iTunes Preferences:
    Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced tab.
    Can you find that? There is a checkbox near the bottom: "Show iTunes icon in system tray".
    The safe mode start: You need to press ctrl shift and then open iTunes, keep holding ctrl shift until iTunes opens.
    Any program that you have that makes use of your iTunes library could potentially prevent iTunes closing as it has to be open in order for another program to access iTunes info.
    Another thing that can cause problems is Bonjour. You can try stopping the bonjour service and then opening iTunes - then check if it closes.
    The following article include instructions for stopping bonjour:

    If you want a brute force way of looking for other things interfering with iTunes, try MSConfig:

    There is a link to the XP version on the page if necessary.

  • Todays update! After todays update I can no longer send Safari or Spotify to the task bar without it cutting out (dropping audio in and out). Streams normally if I keep the window open on my desktop. This needs to be fixed immediately.

  • I'm using Pale Moon x64. The icon on the task bar and start menu looks like a 'computer' and not the pale moon icon-why is that?

    My computer is Windows 7-64 bit.
    I recently installed the Pale Moon x64 from the proper site.
    All is working properly, except that the 'icon' for PM in the task bar and start menu is not the blue moon. I wonder why that is and how I can change it.
    This happened on install of PM.

    Thanks, but I can't find any answer to my question there.
    I can't even figure out how to post a question.
    When I put a few words in the comment section/bar, the result was nil.
    Everything is working, I just want the icon to be correct.
    I guess the motto of 'if it ain't broken, don't fix it' may have to satisfy me.
    Maybe it will change when there is an update.

  • I used to have task or shortcuts show up when I would right click on the FF Icon on the task bar. After installing 4.0 they are all gone. How do I get these back? or restore them to what they were?

    Win 7 task bar has a Fire Fox Icon. Before installing FF 4.0 I could right click on the Icon and it would show short cuts to various sights, which when clicked on would open that sight in FF.
    They are all gone now. What happened? Is there a way to get these back?

    A few hidden preferences to check to make sure that the jump lists are enabled:
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # In the filter box type '''browser.taskbar.lists''' this should bring up a few preferences
    # To enable all parts of the jump list, make sure the following preferences are set to '''true''', if they are not double-click to them to change their value
    ## browser.taskbar.lists.enabled
    ## browser.taskbar.lists.frequent.enabled
    ## browser.taskbar.lists.recent.enabled
    ## browser.taskbar.lists.tasks.enabled

  • My macbook won't go to sleep unless I use the Apple icon on the task bar

    I have a late 2008 macbook unibody (old i know, but its still kickin)
    The computer won't go into sleep mode with the lid closed or if I hit the power button. i have to manually do it with the apple icon in the top of the screen.
    The ambient light that blinks while in sleep doesn't light up when I do this either. Its been like this ever since Lion, Mountain Lion and now Mavericks.
    I've done a clean install of Maverick on a brand new HDD. No change.
    *I have modified the computer since I've owned it.
    Upgraded from the OEM 2GB of memory to 4GB which is the max for my model.
    It didn't come with the illuminated keyboard so I bought the backlit one and installed.
    I also had to swap the motherboard to do this since my original did not have the backlight connector.
    **Note the old motherboard also had the same problem with the computer not going into sleep. So I don't believe its a hardware issue.
    (yes I plugged everything in and seated everything in a appropriate manner, I build custom PC's for friends all the time so I kind of know what to do and what not to do).
    I have checked my sharing preferences and they're all unchecked as this is a fresh install of mavericks.
    Everything else is all set to system defaults.
    Any suggestions/insight?

    Check System Preferences > Energy Saver
    Select:  Put hard disks to sleep when possible
    Then click: Restore Defaults

  • The task bar wont let me type in a url and use it's memory function useless without it

    the address bar disappeared, help! all that shows up is a tiny box no address can be typed in. Thus the memory feature of firefox is useless.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • I listen to the BBC on their iPlayer. I have other applications which use Pop-ups. The iPlayer window comes to the fore every time I've used another pop-up, and I have to minimize it to carry on. How do I keep it minimized by default?

    I listen to the radio on BBC iPlayer. Whenever another application opens a pop-up, the iPlayer window is activated first, then overlayed by the new pop-up. I work in the pop-up and close it, only to find that the iPlayer pop-up is active. I have to switch to my main application to carry on working. Doesn't sound a big problem, but I have to do this every few minutes.
    How do I keep iPlayer in the background please?
    Many thanks,
