How do I prevent windows from being stacked up in the task bar?

This happens even if there is enough room for all of them, and makes it harder to switch back and forth between windows.

You should be able to set this via the properties of the Windows Task bar via the right-click context menu.

  • How to fix firefox bookmarks from leaving an image on the task bar in Windows 7?

    With firefox ESR ver. 17.0.6 and Windows 7 Professional, after displaying bookmarks, if the bookmark list is long so that it goes over (covers) part of the taskbar, a ghost image of those bookmarks are left on the taskbar. How do I keep that from happening?

    hello, maybe that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in ''firefox > options > advanced > general''.

    I receive numerous messages in "Bulk Mail". Where do they come from and how can I prevent them from being received? Thanks

    Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
    It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet."

  • How do i prevent history from being cleared? prevent privacy browsing?

    How do I prevent privacy browsing and/ or prevent history from being deleted from son's computer?

    Note that removing or disabling "Private Browsing" will not make it impossible to delete private data like visited websites (history) or cache.
    There are a lot of ways to clear such data, either via [[Clear Recent History]] or directly by deleting the History in the Library or sidebar.
    Private Browsing makes it easier because all data is kept in memory and nothing is saved to disk, so nothing needs to be removed.
    If you want to see which sites have been visited then you should look at others means outside Firefox like a router or firewall with a password protected logging feature that can't be bypassed or a program like [http://www.wireshark.org/download.html Wireshark].

  • How do I prevent files from being backed up to iCloud and iTunes?

    I have created the ios app using adobe AIR16 and flash cc. After submission of my aap into aapstore, I received a message from Apple with the following message –
    From Apple
    2.23 - Apps must follow the iOS Data Storage Guidelines or they will be rejected.
    By using xcode we can prevent files from being backed up to icloud and itunes, but i want to know that  what is the way to achieve this by using AIR. While creating an explicit app id from apple developer account , i am not enabling icloud support.

    Within AIR you can set the File.preventBackup property to true on a directory or file to prohibit that content from being backed up to the cloud:
    File - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference
    This is all you need to call when you first create the folder or file to have it work with iOS backup guidelines.

  • How do I prevent users from being able to update Firmware

    I have several users (14) with iPad 2 and they rely on an in-house developed App. we have yet to test this App on iOS 5.1 and therefore want to avoid any of the users updating the iPads at all cost!
    this question is in two parts:
    How can I prevent users from upgrading firmware themselves short of just asking nicely?
    How can I stop the iPad from automatically downloading the Upgrade when I deploy a Policy using the iPhone Configuration Utility?
    Any advice would be great!

    We've been looking at the AirWatch mdm and have been told it has this capability.  Not sure if it would be justified from an economic standpoint for you, however.

  • How can I prevent Firefox from being on top of Thunderbird?

    For example, Tbird is open and on top of Firefox, which is open. I click to Forward a message, then address it. Then click to Send. The Forward screen closes and instead of going back to the Tbird messages screen, it goes back to Firefox. How can I stop this from happening?

    There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
    You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
    You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

  • How can I prevent breadcrumbs from being used on the first page?

    Hi,
    I'm using the latest version of the technical communication suite to produce a WebHelp
    layout from a framemaker book. Thanks to all the help I've received so far it's proceeding
    well, although slowly.
    II have an initia l'home'  page, that isn't present in the TOC, just with a program logo, a company
    logo and a helpdesk address. How can I stop breadcrumbs from appearing on this page?
    I'm happy for this to be the Home page and to keep the word Home, and it is a separate
    document in the linked framemaker book.
    Has anyone got any ideas as to how I can do this?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Best wishes,
    Karen

    Hi Karen
    To each his or her own. Jeff's approach certainly will work but will require you to repeat the process each time you generate. With the approach I outlined you would only need to do things once.
    As for the breadcrumbs not appearing at all, it depends on *WHERE* in the Master Page you elected to add them. In order for the approach I outlined to work, you need to ensure you add the placeholder *OUTSIDE* the Body placeholder. Then you should see breadcrumbs on the pages you have associated with the Master Page.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How can I prevent Applications from being copied to external drive?

    Hello,
    Just a quick one...
    I run a studio in an education evironment. We've got quite a lot of software installed on our machines (Mac OS X 10.7.4) and there's always the chance that students will copy applications from the Applications folder onto an external drive to take home!
    Obviously this is becoming increasingly easy with large USB sticks and Applications which are entirely contained in the Applications folder.
    Is there any way that students can still run these applications during class but prevent them from copying the whole applications?
    With thanks in advance,
    Lawrence

    You can hide the Applications folder, but it isn't a total solution. Open Terminal and type:
    cd /
    sudo chflags hidden /Applications

  • How do I prevent windows from shutting down ITUNES with a Data Protection Execution error when trying to sync with my Iphone 4S in a 32 bit windows environment?

    I first was not able to install ITunes 10.5.  Apple upgrade installer caused a data protection execution error and windows reverted the process back to the original software.  I then removed ITunes through the control panel ap.  I removed Bonjour and quicktime.  I could not use the windows uninstaller to remove the apple upgrade installer and had to find a fix it program on the microsoft web site to fully remove this program.  After doing this, I was able to load and install itunes 10.5.  However, now when I try to sync my new 4S phone, the sync only goes to the 2nd or 3rd step before eliciting a DPE error and causing itunes to shut down.  I tried making a new user profile.  Opened I tunes in the new profile and began to search for music on my computer.  The program again elicited a DPE error.  I looked to see if quicken was still on the computer and maybe causing a hangup, but it is no longer installed.  Ok, I am at wits end and have spent much too much time on this issue.  Please help.

    I was able to finally stop ITunes from crashing after many days of searching n restarting my computer many times.
    a) First I went to this site ->http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1119812.htm that showed me how to disable DPE. Please make sure that u have good virus...etc.. protection first before doing this. I have Avast Internet Security. RESTART UR COMPUTER..
    b) I then uninstall ITunes by following this site ->http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923      RESTART UR COMPUTER..
    c) I then downloaded a beta version of ITunes. I happen to download beta 7 before the final of 10.5 version came out. Installed it. After installing I click on it n it said somewhere along the line of "this ITune ver. expired" I checked in my Programs n Features n notice that QuickTime was installed w that beta version.   
    d) Go online n download the final version of ITunes ->http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...... After u finish dling install that. After that's done connect your IPod, IPhone...etc... n click on ITunes, it should sync all the way.
    I was finally able to sync all thru the steps insteading of it crashing on me midway. Hopefully this will work for you. Good luck !

  • How do I prevent effects from being rasterized/un-editable when I re-open my CS6 file?

    Since upgrading to CS6: when I re-open Illustrator CS6 files, I find that effects such as dropshadow, etc. are rasterized as images or other elements that I can't edit as "effects". I'm the single author of these files, so they're being edited on the same computer and in the same program version. Anyone know why this is happening, and how to prevent it? It's really slowing me down.

    Is it possible that you have opened older files created in CS5 or earlier? That in itself is not a problem, but if the file wants to keep that earlier version compatability when you save, then there's a mismatch between CS6 and earlier versions of Illustrator, especially around transparency issues like drop shadows.
    Make sure to save as an illustrator .ai format and on the second screen of the save dialog box choose CS6 as the version.
    Not sure if that's it, but worth checking. Hope that helps…

  • How can I prevent songs from being duplicated when adding them to my iPod?

    One feature I really like about iTunes is that if you have a song on a playlist, iTunes will notify you if you are adding a duplicate song to that playlist. I am looking for the same help managing my iPod.
    For example if I have a playlist in iTunes called "AAA" and a corresponding playlist on my iPod called "AAA", my aim is to have the same content on each. If it is a playlist that I update/change on an ongoing basis on my iTunes, my issue is that I have to remember what songs I have updated or deleted off of this playlist in order to avoid duplicated songs when I have my iPod plugged in.
    I would like to just drag this "AAA" playlist from iTunes to my iPod and have just the new songs be added to the "AAA" playlist on my iPod.
    Hopefully there something I'm overlooking and therefore a way to constrict what is added to the iPod. If you know how to do this, please let me know because this would make iPod music management just as great as iTunes management.
    THANKS!

    I turned off "manually manage music and videos" years ago and sync my iPods by syncing "selected playlists". Any playlist changes I make on the Mac are automatically synced to the iPods when connected.

  • Using notes on iPad: how do I prevent numbers from being displayed as phone numbers?

    Using notes on iPad how do I enter numbers such that notes thinks that they are just numbers, not phone numbers, links, or calendar events?
    Example:
    Enter the line "Number: 00012345678".  The number is highlighted in yellow, tap it and I get the options to "Send Message", "Add to Contacts", or "Copy".
    Enter the line "Numlet: 9H". The "9H" is highlighted in yellow, tap it and I get the options to "Create Event", "Show in Calendar", or "Copy".
    I don't think this is an iOS 7 problem.

    Personally, I think that an App like AirWatch would be overkill for the average home user and form the very little bit that I know about the app, it would not make sense from a money standpoint - IMO anyway. I don't use any third party app to manage devices.
    I manage four iDevices in my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro. All four devices are mine, but all of them have their own unique content on them so it does take a little bit of extra attention to detail when I sync and make changes to the sync configuration. And because I share my Apple ID with my wife and daughter (who each have their own MBP laptops) every now and then I inadvertently download a previously purchased app that I didn't want (I delete more Disney apps than you can shake a stick at) and I scratch my head trying to figure out where that app came from.
    I guess what I'm trying to say is, again IMO - that you can get the hang of keeping everything separate without the purchase of an enterprise app, you just have to be a little more aware of what you are syncing, and pay a little closer attention to what's going on.
