Trouble opening internet links in Outlook & Duplicate icon on task bar

Hi,
I am having trouble opening links in my Outlook 2010 e-mail. If Firefox is already open the links open fine but if it's not open, nothing happens when I click on the link. Also, I'm trying to figure out why, on my desktop, when I open Firefox from the quick launch area it creates a duplicate Firefox icon. On my laptop there will be just one Firefox icon, even when the program is open (the one on the quick launch bar). Any ideas? Thanks.

Another shortcut for maximizing the currently active window is to press Alt+Spacebar followed by x for maximize.
A past thread on this problem: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/980358 opens off monitor screen].
Do you have multiple monitors by any chance? If so, can you set the monitor where you want Firefox to "primary"?
If this problem persists -- in other words, if Firefox stops saving the new position of its window(s) correctly between sessions -- the settings file that stores the last window position may be corrupted. You could try removing that file and let Firefox use its default sizing and positioning. Note: this also will default some toolbar customizations.
Here's how:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button to open a new window showing your currently active settings files.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something like localstore.old
Start Firefox back up again. Is the window visible?

Duplicate Icons On Task Bar

Hi - I'm trying to figure out why, on my desktop, when I open Firefox from the quick launch area it creates a duplicate Firefox icon. On my laptop there will be just one Firefox icon, even when the program is open (the one on the quick launch bar). Any ideas? Thanks.

Solution to annoying problem regarding the two instances of Firefox in the taskbar after updating from several versions ago:
After you click on Firefox in the taskbar and a new instance appears, right-click on the original instance and select unpin from the taskbar, then right-click on the instance still open (the second instance) and pin to taskbar. Close Firefox and click on the icon in the taskbar and smile at the results :) This may be required after updating Firefox each time...dunno.

I just downloaded iOS 6 on my iPhone 4 and now can no longer open internet links that were texted to me. Anyone else having the same problem?

I just downloaded iOS 6 on my iPhone 4 and now can no longer open internet links that were texted to me. Anyone else having the same problem or know how to fix this?

The SMS links thing is highly annoying. You don't have to copy/paste however. You should see an icon like this: (>) to the right of the text bubble with the link. Tap on that, the in the screen that opens, tap "Visit".
Alternatively, you can tap twice directly on the link, then hold your finger down after the second tap.
Still unnecessarily difficult, but not as bad as copy/paste.
What I don't get is why can't I find any mention of this change or how to fix it (if even possible) elsewhere online?

Do you have an extension like IE View or IE Tab that opens pages in Firefox sing IE as the rendering engine?

How do i get a print icon in task bar

installed printer with manufactures disk but i do not get pre-print icon on task bar.

Do you own Acrobat? If so what version? If not what version of Word and PP do you have? Newer versions contain non-Adobe software for creating pdfs. If you do not own Acrobat that it would be best to check in a Microsoft forum on how to use Word to create pdfs.

Firefox opens, and preview shows when hover on the task bar link, but the window will not maximize, or show up at any size on my screen (Windows 7) Help?!

I am running Windows 7 and just updated Firefox to the 7.0 version. I can open Firefox, in the sense that I can run the application. I can see that it is open because the link shows up on my task bar, and when I hover over it I can see the thumbnail preview - which, incidentally says "You're almost there!"; but I can not open the window! I have tried clicking once on the task bar link, and once again (just in case I was clicking to minimize instead of maximize). I have tried double clicking the shortcuts on my desktop, then the one in my program files, as well as the one in my start menu, and the static one pinned to my task bar. I have tried accessing Firefox from every path available on my computer and I can open it every time, but *never* not even once have I been able to view it on my screen. I can't understand what would cause this and maybe I'm just an idiot but can anybody help me... please? Oh, and I don't know if it makes any difference, but I did try restoring 6.0 and I re installed 7.0 again, all to the same end... Many thanks to anyone willing to help me fix this!

-> [[Software Update Failed#w_run-as-administrator|Run as Administrator]]
-> right-click Firefox icon and choose Properties
* go to Compatibility tab
* click Use Resolution 640x480 pixels
* click OK and start Firefox
-> Firefox will now start but you should be able to change the size of the window.
* Close Firefox and now Uncheck the 640x480 resolution
* Start Firefox again and now all should be fine
Check and tell if its working.

Lost Open Internet Connection option for wireless on my tool bar

Does anyone know how I can bring back the Open Internet Connection option on my tool bar? I'm hoping if I can open that it will help me solve why I can't connect to the land line in my office. [email protected]

Open *System Preferences* and the choose Network. Pick Airport. At the bottom next to the Options button see if the *Show AirPort status in menu bar* is checked. Check it and it should pop back where it was.
If it's PPPoE click it and there will be a similar choice to show it in the menu bar.

Linking with Outlook & alerts for uncompleted tasks?

We are wondering if it's possible to do the following with Project (we use Project Professional 2010):
1. create alerts of some type for uncompleted tasks?
2. link with Outlook (2010) to send schedule notifications to resources to let them know or remind them that they're scheduled for something, or communicate with their calendars somehow?
Thanks in advance.

AAA Home --
This functionality is only possible if your organization is using Microsoft Project Server 2010. Assuming you are only using the desktop application and not Project Server 2010, you might be able to achieve this functionality through custom software
development by writing a macro in the VBA programming language. Hope this helps.

Magically Changing Icons - M$ Task Bar

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

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.

Multiple icons in task bar

I have Firefox pinned to my task bar. Since updating to 9.0.1 when I click on the icon a second icon appears in the task bar. They both function properly. The second one shows tab previews of the first one but not visa versa. I have been through my options many times and can't find anything that covers this. It makes no sense to have duplicate icons which leads me to believe something is wrong. And if something is just a little wrong now it won't be long until it is very wrong. Is it something I did?

Thank you for your suggestion. About:config had hundreds of prefs and I had no idea what any of them were about. My grandson offered a solution that was very simple and corrected the problem. I simply right clicked on the second icon and pinned it to the task bar then unpinned the first icon. Problem solved. He thought it was because the first icon was opening up a newer version of Firefox. Apparently he was correct. Thank you again for your suggestion. Now I know where all the preferences hide.

Bluetooth icon in task bar

My T60p crashed yesterday -- manage to recreate everything except the bluetooth icon for quickly launching bluetooth connections in the task bar. Does anyone know how to restore it, please??

Hello,
In Microsoft Windows Vista you can do this by opening the Control Panel, starting the Bluetooth Devices (filename: BTHPROPS.CPL) control panel applet, going to the Options tab, and selecting (checking) the Show Bluetooth icon in the notification area option.

Two Boot camp icons in task bar--fix?

Ever since I updated to Boot Camp 2.02 and then to 2.1, I have 2 separate Boot Camp icons in my task bar (that thingie on the bottom right of your screen) under Vista-64. One of them launches the control panel for BootCamp 2.0, and the other for 2.1 (both work). Does anyone know how to get rid of one of them. Speak slowly for the Windows-illiterate. Thanks.

I had the same problem. This is because you have part of the 32 BIT Boot Camp installation running.
To resolve launch Vista then go to Start> Control panel, switch to the Classic View and double click on Programs and Features. From the list you should see two items named Boot Camp Services. Select the one that is about 6.9 MB in size (the other will be 253MB, do not remove this one!) then press uninstall, confirm the action when prompted then restart when prompted. Once restarted there will only be one Boot Camp icon in Vista.
Job done!
