Odd window icons in Mavericks
Sometime when I drag a finder window I (nearly always) grab the new "tab bar" area in the finer window. Upon mouse button release if I'm over the desktop, it creates a little window icon of the "tab" finder window.
These icons have no interaction and can't be moved. They will pop over open apps or other finder windows if you click on them if they overlap.
Why is this? What's it for? AND, how do I make the mean feature go away?
I'm getting this issue too. However, if I switch to another User account on the same machine it does not happen there?
Also in the other account when I close a window that has been dragged out of the tab it shrinks down to where the little Icon was in the original drag.
On the account with the error, the window will just close without shrinking down?
I am wondering if there is some other software running which is causing this?
In the mean time I've stopped dragging the tabs out and have started using "Move Tab to New Window" from the Window Menu for the time being.

Ok, details of installation below, so when I try compose an email, I just get a compose window icon stuck in the windows
taskbar can't actually enlarge it and use it. If I restart in safe mode with all addons disabled, then it works fine. But
If I restart normally and manually disable addons/plugins, then close and start normally again i.e not safe mode, it
breaks, so does not seem to be an addon or plugin but rather something with the configuration.

Greetings all,
Can anyone please advise how to remove the Administrator / Super User menu that appears when you right click the Windows Icon (old start button) in Server 2012 R2 - for RDS users. I have searched and been able to disable access to each of these menu items (Control
Panel, Event Viewer, Run, etc). But I am searching for a way to completely remove the menu. This menu also appears when you use Win-X shortcut.
Hope someone can help.
TerryHi Terry,
You can try following points, might helpful in your case. Go to
C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows
there you will see file called WinX
Right click this file and copy then go to
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows
then paste the file into the folder.
NOTE: replace YOUR_USERNAME with your actual username.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

iPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?
What you are seeing is how Safari works now in iOS 5. There is no way to get that icon in Safari now. There other much better browsers available in the App Store. Look at iCab Mobile, Mercury, Atomic, ....
I have been running iOS 5x for so long now, that I don't even remember if that icon did appear in earlier iOS versions -
After i install window 8.1, i can't see window icon in my start up disk, i see only mac icon 10.10, but i can see both mac and win icon in my window boot camp control. i want to see window icon in my mac Yosemite 10.10.2,system preference, start up disk.
Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

Multiple windows icon in safari is suddenly gone, what happened?
I have an IPad 2 and I just noticed that when I launch safari I use to have a multiple windows icon on upper left side (two little boxes), which allowed me to open multiple windows. Not it's gone, only book mark Icon and last page icon there. Any ideas?
Safari on iOS 5 on the iPad uses tabbed browsing - use the '+' on the right-hand end of the tab bar to open a new tab. Thumbnail/paged browsing no longer exists

How to export a symbol as a windows icon?
Is there an easy way to export a LabVIEW symbol as an icon? When putting a VI on the desktop, it would be nice if it had the same symbol as within LabVIEW. Instead, all VIs appear on the desktop with a standard icon. In the past, I copied the symbols to a painting programm, saved it, and converted it by means of shareware programs to a windows icon. My hope is that new LabVIEW versions provide this functionality. Unfortunately, I could not yet find this feature.
Mat,
Similar to a TXT or DOC file, the icon associated with a VI file is linked at the Windows system level. Therefore, there may be some hack that allows you to change the icon for all VIs but not each VI individually.
A colleague suggested a method that might work for you. You can save the VIs in a directory somewhere else and make a shortcut to them on the Desktop. You can then change the icon of these shortcuts.
I hope that works.
Thanks,
Stephen Meserve

SInce i installed Lion, my desktop icons are lining up like regimented Windows icons!
how do i get them to stay where i put them, like they used to do?
thanks!
ellenIn that case, there may be a problem with your Finder preferences or window settings.
Try removing these files, then restarting:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
~/Desktop/.DS_Store
Let me know if you're not sure how to do that. -
Why won't windows icon attach to projector - Dir 11?
I made a windows icon using IconCommander on an intel Mac (snow leopard). The Mac version of the icon attaches to the Mac projector just fine. But using the same procedure in creating a windows projector and trying to attach the windows version of the icon doesn't work. I just get the Di icon on the projector (gray square with "Di") inside. I don't know if the problem lies with icon commander or Director. I don't have a windows machine, so need a Mac solution. I've attached the windows icon.
LeslieAs far as I know, you can't change a Windows icon from a Mac.

Hi all !
does anybody know if it's possible to do drag and drop of windows icons (like folders) into Java Frames or other containers ?
I'd like to write an application where the user can drag Windows folders inside a Frame/Container and collect Folder information (the path to the folder)
Is it possible to do it ?
Thanks a lot
FrancescoHi,
It is possible.
You can drag platform independent objects like folders, icons etc. from the native platform to your java app.
The Java-Object you need in this case is a
DataFlavour like
DataFlavor.stringFlavor // for text
DataFlavor.javaFileListFlavor // for folders
in the tutorial jacob has linked you find more about this.

ICO (Windows icon) plugin - cannot save as ico
CS5 Ext 64b
I have downloaded the ico plugin from http://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/icoformat/trunk/dist/README.html
Under Help->About Plug-Ins, there is a list including "ICO (Windows icon)".
However, the ico format does not appear when using File->Save As
Any ideas?The path to the plugin is: D:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\File Formats\ICOFormat64.8bi
The file I tried to save as ICO was RGB, 8 bits (I already saved it as ICO using online service, but anyway, it would be nice to have such power in Photoshop). The same happens to new files (File->New and choose Color mode as: RGB, 8 bits). No ICO format in Save as dialog.
