Task Bar Mahem - Changing icons

Hi,
In Windows XP (Windows NT), when you open multiple windows of a program, the programs become inconisized and grouped together under one menu icon with a name. For instance, opening Windows Explorer multiple times creates a menu on the task bar that displays the Windows Explorer Icon, the number of windows open, and the title of the program--Windows Explorer.
However, when I run my Java programs multiple times (or make many frames within a program) and iconisized them, they appear on the task bar as a menu with a little white window icon with a blue title, the number of windows (frames) open, and "java" or "javaw" beside it. I know how to add icons to frames. What I don't know is how to keep my icon and application name on the task bar when
windows (frames) or applications become grouped. Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated. Spent 4 hours looking all over Sun's site, trying to find an answer. I've even tried to download some open source programs and tried to disect them to find the code. Sample code would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
J Apprentice

Here here, would like some feedback on this also...

Missing task bar and screen icons/Windows 7

My pc boots up fine but after it's finished, I only have a backround screen, no task bar and no screen icons. Is there a fix for this?

Try this:
Right-click the desktop.
Select View > Show desktop icons (if it doesn't have a check mark next to them, your icons don't display).
Move your cursor to the very bottom of the desktop and see if the taskbar doesn't pop up into view. If so, right click it.
Click Properties.
Clear the Auto-hide the taskbar check box.
Please let me know if that works.

How to add the task bar containing some icons in to CM01 program

hi there Gurus,
i checked the program CM01, and found that all are include programs.
now i would like to add some icons insides, such as sort, sum up etc.
how could i do that? please some one guide me.
thanks

hi there...
u can do this... the way out is the use of customer exits.... search for a 'screen exit' in CM01 program, and simply put ur code in it....
you can locate a proper customer exit in se81 transaction.
For ur info, customer exits are hooks provided by SAP in their standard programs for the programmers to put in there own code as per the client requirements. they dont affect the standard code but simply addon another functionality.
they are just like inheritance in oops.
do reward if helpful or get back for further info.

Lost my volume icon in the task bar and cant get it back.

On my Vista system, the volume/mute icon on my task bar has disappeared and can only be reloaded temporarily by going to control panel for each off and on.
Can someone please outline what the steps are to restore this icon. It does not go to task bar as other icons do.
Many thanks,
Bob

How to get Back Pause and Forward in Task bar again?

In I-Tunes 7 I had control over I-Tunes when it was minimized in my task bar. I could skip a song or play a previous song or pause. Now all I can get is a I-Tunes Icon that opens the whole program or reduces it. I have gone to edit, preferences, advanced, but there is no box to tik to give me back this control in my task bar, only an icon.

I use the task bar mini player.
In my preferences>>advanced tab I have "show iTunes icon in system tray unchecked and also Mininmise iTunes window to system tray.
Then right click on the task bar and select toolbars, one of the options should be iTunes and it should have a tick next to it.

Hiding the frame in Task Bar Tray

My Problem is
When i minimize the frame, i want to position it in the task bar tray.
(which is on the right side of the task bar where all icons date,volume etc are shown)
Eg: Suppose if we minimize the yahoo messenger,it will be shown in the task bar tray.
Thanks
Varma

take a look at http://systray.sourceforge.net/
You have to do the following to hide the frame when it's minimized:
    final JFrame frame = new JFrame("test");
    frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
      public void windowIconified(WindowEvent e)
        frame.setVisible(false);
    });use the systray api to create the systray icon and menu, and you're finished

Change Status Hover Over Task bar Icon

So I have Lync 2013 Back end with Lync 2013 clients (patched up till January 2015). On some clients, you can hover over the Lync icon in the task bar (not the system tray by the clock) to reveal buttons to change your presence, however on others the buttons
aren't there. For the life of me i can't figure out how to get them there for the machines that they dont appear for.

Hi,
Please double check if the issued Lync clients are Lync Basic version.
I test both Lync full version from Office 2013 and Lync 2013 Basic version, only Lync full version have this function.

J Apprentice,
XP groups these together because they are using the same executable (java.exe). The name which appears in the taskbar group is gained for the exe's description attribute (take a look at the exe's properties from explorer) or , failing that, the name of the executable. The only way around this is to create a JNI wrapper executable which links to the JVM and calls your main method instead of executing java.exe. (BTW this is how java.exe works anyway). Some java installers create these wrappers for you.

I think I know what you mean, but if you think about it, what is Windows actually running?
Windows itself, is running the java or javaw program, hence why the menu bar is displaying java or javaw, plus the number of instances of the program that you have open. Much like 5 or 6 instances of Explorer being grouped, 5 or 6 instances of java would be grouped (by the wya, I'm guessing here, coz I don't use XP).
However, if the main jFrame for each of these java programs has been correctly assigned a title, does that not make a difference with regards to what is actually displayed on the taskbar???
Anyone else got an idea?

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

Firefox loads, icon is on task bar but when clicked the graphics slide off to the right but don't fill the screen & when clicked again, falls back into the icon

Firefox, Thunderbird & Quicken were active when I loadad & ran a slot machine game. When I exited the game & clicked the icon to return Firefox to full screen, I could see the image flash off to the right side of my monitor screen and disappear. When I again clicked on the icon in the task bar, the reverse happened- the image flashed from the right down to the icon. When I hover the mouse pointer over the icon, the open screens show up with the red X to close but the same thing happens when I click on that box. The other two programs that were open while the game was active are working fine, only Firefox has been affected. I cannot open the program to access any of the menu items as I cannot get the screen image on the monitor. I did uninstall the program and reinstall a freshly downloaded copy I had to use IE, as I am now) but with the same results when I run it. I did chose to save my settings so if something has been changed there then that might be the problem.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Firefox always opens a new window when i click the icon on my task bar...this is new and I would like it to say in the same window How?

I have a firefox icon on my task bar. Before this latest install, I would click the icon and Firefox would come up directly. Now it opens another firefox window. I don't want this. How can I change it back?

Click on the spotlight icon in the top right of your screen (looks like a magnifying glass), type
Terminal
and press 'return'.
In the window that opens up, paste or type this exactly into the window
killall Finder; killall Dock
(that's case sensitive) and press 'return'.
You'll notice the Dock disappear for a second or two then return, as do any open Finder windows.
Test using Finder as normal. Same problem?
