Tablet A8 5500: impossible to remove shortcuts/icons

Hello, My tablet is new, out of the box from a few hours.
It is impossible to remove any icons on the desktops: the bin does not appear! When I press a few seconds on an icon, I can only move it but not remove it.
I already did firmware upgrade and factory reset.
It drives me crazy. Did I miss anything?
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thks for the answer. I used Lenovo Laucher... It's crazy it does not work! I did put apex launcher and it worked well now.

Removing Shortcut Icons from Finder Window

In the left side of the Finder Window, there are little shortcut icons like "Music" and "Applications" and the like. I dragged a folder into this window for easy access. I no longer have the folder on my Mac, but the shortcut icon is still there.
How do I make it go away? Every time I right- or left-click on it, I simply get a message saying the folder is no longer available.

Select the item and drag it out of the sidebar. It will "poof" away.

Removing shortcut icons on the desktop

I have a shortcut for something on my desktop and I want to delete it. Drag to trash? I didn't know if that would erase the actual application.
Thanks

If there is tiny arrow that indicated the icon is a shortcut, and you are sure that the actual application is installed properly in your application folder, when you drag that to trash and empty trash, it will only delete the shortcut, not the application itself.
Just don't empty the trash if you not sure, and try to find the application and launch it, if it launch properly, then you can empty the trash, if nat, drag that back from trash and put that to your application folder.
Good Luck.

Non-removable shortcuts in Symbian^3

Hello Nokia community!
I was looking for information how to remove shortcuts like "Orkut" and "Nat Geo" in Belle, it turned out that it is impossible. I can't understand why??
It is simple example: i like Nokia phones, but i don't like Google services and i don't like Orkut icon and service at all. Why i can't delete this? And I'm not the only one who wishes to remove. I hope this possibility has would be in the next Future Pack.

Hey
But is there any system Nokia has for replacing batteries in phones whose battery cannot be removed?
Thanks
The 720 battery is not user replaceable but it can easily be replaced by any Nokia Care Point. If you want a Lumia with user replaceable battery, you should consider the 820.

Where is Safari's shortcut icon cache?

I have created a web page with a "shortcut icon", that little icon to the left of the URL in the address bar. However, I didn't like the design and modified the icon.
Now it seems impossible to make Safari understand that there is a new icon. I have emptied all caches I could think of, and I have deleted files manually from <myuser>/Library/Application Support and Preferences. Still that icon remains as it was.
The problem is somewhere with my main user account. If I log in with a different MacOS account, the new icon is there in all its humble glory.
Does anyone know where this kind of information could be stored?

I have created a web page with a "shortcut icon"
These icons are called "favicons". Sometimes, just clearing your cache and reloading your page will get your revised favicon to appear. Sometimes simply reloading the page will do it. The last time I worked on my favicon, reloading the page worked for me, but others have said it did not work for them.
Deleting the icons cache is the most extreme measure, but will do the trick and the favicons will reappear as you visit web sites.

How to remove shortcuts Launchpad

Hi guys,
I have just installed Lion and I googled a lot about Launchpad but somehow the solutions they have given me doenst seem to work.
When I open launchpad I see a lot of icons that are in my Applications folder.
But for a lot of those icons I dont want them to be in Launchpad and want to remove only the Shortcut in Launchpad.
Some people are saying I need to hold CTRL OPTION CMD but the icons starts jiggeling but I can not remove one single shortcut.
So I really hope someone can help me.
Kind regards,
Danny

I also am having this problem - I am not able to rename folders in Launchpad, nor am I able to remove shortcuts I do not want. I don't want to delete the program itself, just the Launchpad icon. The option key will make the applications and folders jiggle but I do not get the 'x' in the upper left corner. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
-Zach

Desktop shortcut icons after 8.1.1 update

I installed the 8.1.1 update and now I have two itunes shortcut icons on desktop. However I can't delete either of them and neither will launch itunes. Also sometimes when I launch itunes from starter menu it creates a third desktop shortcut icon.

First, remove the SIM, clean its contacts with a pencil eraser, and re-insert it.
If that doesn't fix it restore your phone using iTunes on your computer.
And if that doesn't fix it your phone has a hardware problem.

IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE CD'S DVD'S from MAC 24

After burning it is IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE CD'S DVD'S from MAC 24
Do you know how to solve this problem?
Regards

Hi...
Try holding down the Eject key while booting up.
And try holding down your mouse when booting.
And try moving the CD or DVD icon on the Desktop to the Trash. The Trash icon will turn into an Eject icon.
If nothing above has helped...
Open Terminal located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.

Annoying shortcut icons

One thing I'm really annoyed about: after ever Reader update (Win7) the once deleted shortcut icons on desktop and in the start menu reappear. And they can only be removed with administrative permission.
Please: an updater should not generate new shortcut icons. It may update existings shortcuts whenever a path changes, but otherwise please honour a customers decision.
While I started to replace Acrobat Reader with a less intrusive PDF viewer wherever possible, I still search a way to avoid this clutter.

I mean a shortcut to a website.
Thanks.

Tablet A8 5500 GPS not functioning

I recently bought Lenovo Tablet A8 5500. I have tried many times to get GPS functioning without Wi-Fi connection but it prooved to be impossible.
I reset the device but nothing changed. I wonder whether it is a defect of my tablet or perhaps something is wrong with software (Route66) or OS.
Any help (official or not) would be greatly appreciated !!!!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had this problem and it was driving me nuts.
Kept trying: settings/location/mode/device only - but nothing happened until I downloaded an app called "GPS Test" and bingo, took the tablet outside and soon had 11 satellites in view and a full fix. Switched on my memory map app and there was a nice red circle showing where I was. Been OK ever since, so hope this will work for you.

[Solved]Remove button icons in KDE applications when running under dwm

I run dwm but also use KDE applications.
KDE applications do show icons on dialog buttons:
I gather that these buttons can be disabled in the system settings dialog when running a full KDE desktop. My question is: How do I achieve this - remove the icons on buttons - while not running a full KDE session?
kcmshell4 doesn't seem to expose an option to do so in any available module, including 'kcmshell4 icons'.
The systemsettings5 option repertoire is incomplete and only has the modules "Workspace>Desktop behaviour", "Workspace>Shortcuts", "Network>Settings" and "Network>Connectivity".
In my .xsession, I am currently exporting
export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk # Make Qt5 use the GTK+ theme
export DESKTOP_SESSION=gnome # For something I can't quite remember
I've also seen XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=gnome vs XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=kde floating around, but neither achieves anything in this regard.
Does anybody know which setting in which config file I could set to emulate what the KDE configuration GUI does in a KDE session, or what KDE packages I would have to install in order to add the correct settings component to my KDE configuration utilities (KDE4 and/or Plasma 5), or what environment variable to set? A last resort would be installing a full KDE workspace or Plasma 5 and toggling the setting there, but I'd rather avoid doing that.

Would running "kcmshell5 style", or "kcmshell4 style" be an option? Am not sure what you have installed, but under fine tuning tab there, there's exactly what you need.
Edit: if that doesn't work, .config/kdeglobals
ShowIconsInMenuItems=true
ShowIconsOnPushButtons=true
ToolButtonStyle=TextBesideIcon
ToolButtonStyleOtherToolbars=TextBesideIcon
Change to false and TextOnly, respectively
Might have to look for another kdeglobals file for kde4 apps, which should be either in .kde4 or in home dir, since there's a bit of a mess currently during transition
Please excuse my belated reply; thank you for the solution:
The line
ShowIconsOnPushButtons=false
in kdeglobals removed the icons for KDE 4 applications. For some reason, applications using KDE Frameworks 5.x did never show the button icons to begin with.

How to remove QuickTime Icon from systray of Windows ME

Attempted to install QuickTime in response to its solicitation,but its download program stated it could not be installed on ME. However, its Icon was placed in my Systray and every time I boot up now the system seems to try to read the hard drive for it causing the drive to chatter. After about 10 of these chattering attempts from the drive, the Icon appears, but the program does not exist in the system. How do I remove the Icon and the program that's trying to load the nonexistant program?
Gateway PC Windows ME

There is no QuickTime program listed in the Add/Remove Program on the control panel.

How do I remove padlock icon from all my files?

On one of my drives, every single file has a little padlock icon superimposed over the file icon. I recall when I did a clean install of windows 7 RC over my Vista install, I wasn't getting write access to the drive so I had to take ownership of the drive and mess with the security settings before it started working normally.
I have to admit, I find the security settings in all versions of NT mystifying... For instance, although my account is in the administrators group, having full access to administrators never seems to work. I always have to add my individual user account and explicitly give it full access.
In any case, I can't remember exactly what it took, but after messing around with the security settings for a while, I eventually was able to have full access to the drive and have no problems reading/writing/deleting files and folders, but there's the padlock icon still on everything.
Can anyone explain how to get rid of it, and/or maybe point me to a good, clear, understandable guide on how to properly set NTFS permissions.
Thanks!
