Satellite A - Battery/Power Indicator Missing from Task Bar

My battery/power indicator is missing from the task bar. When I attempt to turn it on, it's grayed out and I don't have the option to select it. I've checked the hidden icons functions, etc. When I searched on google, there were several fixes - but all are way out of my area of expertise.
Please help!

Hi
Maybe you have installed an software which affected this Windows option.
It could be also a damage registry entry
Maybe you could clean the OS using CCleaner and repair the registry
Im not quite sure if it will help you but its worth a try

[SOLVED] Gnome 3.6: Battery/power icon missing from panel

I've recently ressurected an old Arch laptop that had been lying dormant for a year or a half. Everything's been brought up to speed (pacman -Syu plus a lot of systemd study) satisfactorily except I've noticed that the battery/power icon on the panel is missing. Due to the long time since the install, I have no idea if this is due to an error or some old brilliant idea setting from my side a year or more ago :-(
What I've tried:
* Disabling all extensions (a lot of posts about the system monitor extension causing this -- I've never used it). Extension turn off registers but still no battery.
* Checking htop and gnome power statistics to see if the system knows about my battery. Both report in detail about the battery.
* Checking /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/panel.js to see if the power applet had been excluded somehow. Nope, it's listed.
* Checking dconf to see if I could find some setting there. Ubuntu user posts led me to org.gnome.power-manager but unlike those users I found no setting relevant ("icon-policy")
* Checking gnome settings and tweak settings. Found nothing that seemed relevant.
A lot of posts about this pops up around gnome 3.2 which apparently had a bug with this problem. I'm not sure what version gnome-shell was before the update but currently it is 3.6.3 and the laptop has been rebooted and had gnome-shell restarted any number of times since then.
Any suggestions?

Good point, WonderWoofy.
I created a guest account and found the icon on the panel when I logged in as guest. A bit of guessing located the problem to my dconf database and using gsettings to locate any power/battery-related settings pointed me to
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power
which had been deactivated. Clicking 'Active' and restarting gnome-shell solved my problem.

Firefox 4 is not appearing in Task bar or some times it is Disappearing from task bar when i am minimising the window. so, i had to go to Task manager and find the icon.Its becoming big messy if tabs are not found , to switch programmes.

firefox icon is missing from "Task bar"when i am minimising the window

I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site?

Satellite P10-804: How to enable the battery icon visible on the task bar?

how do I do enable the battery icon visible on the task bar? currently I can only have the type of power save mode e.g. bulb & colour.
I have tried to activate right clicking taskbar/properties/notification areas, found required icon & instructed to always show, however the batery icon remains hidden.
Help??

One question: Did you try to set several settings in the Windows own power options?
However, I would say some registry keys are corrupt and therefore the battery icon cannot be displayed in the task manager.
Probably only the new installation can help you displaying the icon in the task bar.

Such an error is caused by some files that weren't updated successfully, so you are left with a mixture of files from different Firefox versions.<br />
There is usually some security software involved that protects .ini files against modification (update).
You will still have to do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a new copy of Firefox.

Cannot open PE 10 from task bar

When I try to open Photoshop Elements 10 from the task bar nothing happens. I have to go to the file location and open it from there. Also, when I try to uninstall the program I'm told to close the Welcome Screen. Problem is, the Welcome Screen is not open.

The two applications are obviously not properly integrated. You may need to raise a support case.

Download Bash script running from Task-bar folder

Hi, Not sure why but when Im trying to open my Downloads file from the task bar its openning up on my desktop as "Downloads-Bash script! how do i stop this please. Its the same if I open from Finder.
Thank you all in anticipation of a resolve.

Enter the following command in a Terminal window by copying or dragging (don’t type):
xattr -c ~/Downloads
Press return. You can then quit Terminal. Try the action again. If the same thing happens, relaunch the Finder by selecting
 ▹ Force Quit ▹ Finder
and pressing return or clicking Relaunch.

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

#once explorer stops it should restart itself

Firefox 8.0 occasionally disappears from task bar when minimized but keeps running

Running Firefox 8.0 on Windows XP, have 12 tabs open. Occasionally, when I minimize Firefox, it disappears from the task bar. I know that Firefox is still running because one of the open tabs is a radio station stream on Silverlight. The only way to get Firefox back is to click a link in an email then Firefox will open in a new tab (it is my default browser)

I am guessing it is because you minimise Firefox to the Windows Xp task bar but have ot either locked that or set it to be on top so it may disappear from view.
When the task bar is visible left click any space area on the taskbar the popup will have options including
* '''''lock task bar''''' if you tick that the task bar stays the same size
* '''''properties''''' if you click on that you get other options for customising the task bar
* also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taskbar

Since replacing hard drive, "restore previous session" button doesn't work, can only do it through history tab. Also will not start up from task bar icon.

Hi, been using Firefox for some years, had to replace hard drive recently and re loaded Firefox. Since then, the restore previous session button doesn't work, but I can do it from the History tab. Also Firefox itself won't start from the task bar or desktop, only the start menu.

Unpinning Items from Task bar

When I open firefox 4.0 from task bar it opens 10 blank pages all at once real fast.

When I click the Firexfox 4.0 icon from my task bar it suddenly opens 10 blank pages all at once so every time I open it I have to close 9 pages to get back to one.
Very frustrating and a big time waster.

Check the Home page setting.
* [[How to set the home page]] - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
This can also be a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
You will have to redo App Tabs and Tab Groups after deleting sessionstore.js.

Removing Thinkvantage toolbox from task bar

Just got an E320 which is great but seems Im not alone in wanting to hide the thinkvantage toolbox widget in my task bar and I am struggling!
There seems to be a bug as i have right clicked task bar, selected toolbars and deselected it but this only seems to work temporarily ie as soon as I reboot the laptop it reappears.
I have also tried going into the settings of the toolbox itself and deselecting the radio button that says "show icon in taskbar' but again this only works until the next time I reboot.
can anyone help?
Thx
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try seeing if Toolbox is up to date.
Worse comes to worst, uninstall it.
