Vertical taskbar width does not hold the width after reboot

Hi.
I wonder if anyone could help me with this. I've been trying to google the answer for hours but no luck.
I use the desktop with taskbar on the left side not on the bottom. I'll explain why just to cut questions. Simply because it makes more sense to me to have it on side rather than bottom with 16/9 format of display. I also work with many windows open at the
same time and this way I can have 15 of them on the taskbar without grouping.
Problem.
I need the width of the taskbar to be wide enough at least for 3 icons of the quicklaunch section. Below this width there is not enough space for quick launch icons to fit in the area. I could increase the area but then it uses space for the open windows
tabs and also date/time are not displayed fully. 3 icons is what makes sense for vertical taskbar. Every time I change the width of the taskbar to 3 it goes back to 2 after reboot. No matter whether I lock it or not!
question.
Is there any way of setting the minimal height ( in my case width of the taskbar as it is positioned vertically on the side) in the registry? I mean can I enter somewhere " do not go below bloody 3 icons after reboot ! " in the registry  :)
There must be default value somewhere there  and this is why it keeps going back to it. If only I knew where is it I could increase it to suit me.
I know it might seem to be silly question but after resizing the taskbar 2 348 times over the past years eveytime I turn the computer on I have had enough.
I would be very gratefull if anybody could help me. Thanks in advance.

    Under Window in the Menu bar select Connection doctor. You will see green to indicate a connection and red to show there is a problem. Except for iCloud account you'll see two entries for each account 1) receiving and 2 SMTP for sending.
    If it's red, this usually means it's missing the password.
    For Incoming messages, set in the account window, under Account Information tab.
    For Outgoing (SMTP) messages, follow these steps:
    EDIT SMTP SETTINGS
    In Accounts window > Outgoing Mail Server SMTP:  select to Edit SMTP Server list... from popup.
    Select account in the list.(It's not uncommon to find extra SMTP servers listed. When you remove account, Mail does not delete the smtp info. You might need to do some clean up in the list to remove the extras.)
    Under Advanced Tab:
    Apple defaults to the default ports (25,465, 587) but some servers prefer a custom port. Check to see what port they recommend. Gmail for example likes 465, Outlook.com 587.
    Verify if your server require SSL.

  • Itunes does not recognise the ipod after update to itunes 8.2.0.23

    Hi, Now find, after putting new songs in my play list, that when I plug in ipod to update songs on ipod itunes does not recognise the ipod.
    The version of iTunes I updated to was 8.2.0.23 - everything worked fine until then. I see there is a newer version 8.2.1 now available - do you think by installing this the "unable to recognise" problem would be fixed???
    Thanks for your thoughts!

    I have a similar problem with the iPhone. Tried everything you can think of and then some. There is apparently some devastating bug 7.6 introduced into normal USB device recognition. I've been able to force the phone into recovery mode; the boot recovery USB driver does still work. Restoring the phone every time I need to sync is both scary and time-consuming.

  • Compressor does not start the job after submit button clicked.

    Hello All,
    FCP 6.0/ Compressor 3.0.5
    I am trying to export a section of a FCP timeline sequence (set with in and out) thorugh Compressor, into a couple of video formats (DVD and a custom H.264). After I set the destination and make surte that the source file is in place, I press "Submit" button and again "submit" from pop-up window and nothing happens. No usual window with the job processing appears, like it ussually does. I restarted programs and computer and no change. Compressor quitted unexpectedly few times within the same process of initiating export from FCP. I tried test export from a different FCP project and the compressing does not start either after pressing "submit".
    I did not have this problem before. I would greatly appreiciate any suggestions.
    Best to all,
    Izabela

    Dear ToddNashville,
    Thank you so much! This was it! It was processing but did not see the process as the "ghost" icons of the new exporte files in destinations would not appear immiediately as I thought they usually do. Once they are completed or 1/2 way through they appear.
    I did not try the batchlist before. It is so clear as far as whats running and how much time left! I hope all will process fine.
    Thank you!

  • My Nokia Lumia 710 does not show the balance after...

    I like the Lumia range and am beginning to prefer WP7.x to Android but there is this irritating thing that whenever I make  a call, I do not get my remaining balance which I used to get with all my previous phones, inlcuding the Nokia N900
    All I wanna know is that am I the only one who is facing this problem or is this an issue with the OS.
    I've contacted the Nokia Service Center and the guy there told me that WP7.5 does not support this feature and after browsing through the net, I am still unable to decipher if this is a problem with my device or are others facing the same issue as well.
    This is my first post, please let me know if I did anything wrong.
    Thanks in advance
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Correct. WP7 does not support this and if your mobile carrier does not offer an app for it, you need to visit their homepage for information on your remaining balance, etc.
    Windows Phone 8 will have this built into the operating system. Sadly though, existing phones can't upgrade to WP8. So bug your carrier if they do not offer an app for this yet.

  • Album art does not match the song after iOS 5 upgrade

    The subject pretty much speaks for itself

    I think I figured it out: Connect your ipad/iphone to your iTunes PC/MAC. In iTunes, click on the iPad/iPhone. On the "Summary" tab for your device (in iTunes), select "Sync with this iPad/iPhone over Wi-Fi". On your iPad/iphone go to "Settings", then "General". Toward the bottom you'll see "iTunes Wi-Fi Sync". Select it. Select the "Sync Now" option. It's the only option. iTunes should start syncing the missing album covers.
    I'm doing this as I'm writing this. Good luck!

  • My sound mix does not sound the same after using Compressor for DVD

    Hi,
    Is there something I can do to maintain the sound mix of my original file when converting to the dolby in Compressor. It needs to be louder overall and sometimes the music goes way too low and the dialogue goes to soft. Sound effects were louder and now get quiet during some parts.
    Help?
    Thanks!

    Hi:
    You must do some changes in the standard AC3 preset from Compressor. Duplicate it, and chage the following settings:
    - Dialog Normalization: -31
    - Compression Preset: None
    Save it and try it. You must get the same mix and level than your original.
    Hope that helps !

  • My computer does not eject the disc after it has been burned.

    I understand that my computer is supposed to automatically eject a disc after it has been burned. Mine doesn't. Instead, I hear a "Plonk," which I assume is announcing that the burning process has been completed.
    First of all, is it true that the disc is supposed to be ejected after the burn has been completed? Secondly, how can I restore that function?

    To clarify...are you importing songs from a CD into iTunes, or are you burning songs from iTunes onto a blank CD? If it's the former, iTunes won't eject it...you'll just hear a chime or noise when it's done. If it's the latter it should eject.
    For the second poster, it sounds you are importing. In which case, you will just hear the sound when importing is finished and you eject the CD yourself.
    Just to make sure that I understand you correctly, here's what I did: Imported songs from website. They were in RealPlayer format. I then converted the song files into MP3 format, and put them into my iTunes music library. Finally, I put the songs in a New Smart Playlist, and burned them into a blank disc.
    Given this situation, should I expect the disc to automatically eject when the burning is competed? If so, what do I have to do to get it to work properly?

  • Ipod's playlist order does not stay the same after undocking from itunes

    Hi,
    I have built several playlists on my new 6G ipod nano.  I arranged about 50 songs that I want to play at the start of the play list. They are arranged correctly while docked to itunes.  When I undock and hit <playlist> and select the playlist to start, they are no longer in the order I put them in. 
    Any help would help.
    Thanks,
    PWpw

    When I play songs in my car, it always plays in alpha order by song name. I've checked the far left "number" column and it is fine in iTunes. It seems that if I could move the "name" column, it would fix the issue. I've been reading posts for about an hour and can't find a solution. I presume my issue is the bug here. Can someone confirm this bug is still open?

  • Wireless keyboard name does not stick, connection lost after reboot/restart

    I know this topic has been addressed many times but I might have additional info to this.
    I tried to rename my wireless keyboard. The name stays as long as I only let the computer sleep.
    As soon as I do a restart/reboot and the connection is lost again, it's name is set back to the old name.
    This might be related to the reason why it looses it's connection over and over again.
    Does anyone know where this "name" is stored? There must be a plist file or something somewhere where the name is kept, maybe that's the file which is corrupt and must be deleted.
    I also was wondering if it is possible to "reboot" the keyboard itself, maybe this setting is stored on the keyboard itself and it cannot properly maintain it.. that might be a reason why for some users the keyboard replacement has helped.

    So, the same problem occurred and in a relatively shorter time than before. I began to think that something is causing this problem.
    My theory is that it is a VMWare software issue. What I've been doing differently recently is using it in "Unity" mode as opposed to "Full Screen" mode. My guess is that the program is modifying my wireless permissions and screwing it all up.
    So, what I've done is set the "Network Adapter" to "Host-Only". This denies the VMWare program internet access but still allows file sharing between the Windows virtual environment and the Mac hard drive.
    Then I had to re-install Mac OS X all over again to fix the wireless settings/permissions mess.

  • My iPod Classic 120GB is clicking and not turning on. It has been charged but does not hold charge. I am not able to restore factory settings. Error code and have tried troubleshooting options without success. Thoughts?

    My iPod Classic 120GB makes a clicking noise when syncing with iTunes and will not sync. It will not turn on at this time and has been charged but does not hold the charge. After trying to sync, iTunes states that iPod must be restored. Have tried to do this but not successful, I receive an error code and have done the troubleshooting steps for the error and I am still not able to sync or use my iPod. HELP?

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:

  • "Always open in column view" does not hold

    "Always open in column view" does not hold the preference when applied to my hard drive.
    I select Macintosh HD and choose the column view. I go to View > Open View Options and check "Always open in column view". Then if I click on a different folder and go back to Macintosh HD, column view is retained... that is until I restart the computer.
    After a restart, when I click on Macintosh HD I am back to icon view. Again I go to View > Open View Options, and somehow the preference has changed to "Always open in icon view". If I switch back to column view, the preference is retained again until I restart, then it's back to icon view.
    Other folder and external drives open in column view after a restart, it is just Macintosh HD that always reverts to icon view.
    Sent a bug report to Apple, but any ideas how to fix this?

    try setting default views after that.
    Did both suggestions and it appears to be working as expected now. Many thanks for the quick (and very useful) reply VK!
