Virtual PC 7 hid the mac desktop icons in Windows--how do you restore this?

Hi there...hoping someone knows where one would be able to restore this setting this as I'm unable to locate anything through the preferences nor find any solutions in the user guide or online here in the group discussions.
I have a client who is using an ibook G4 with VPC and her Mac icons disppeared from the Windows desktop after a popup window appeared and asked if she wanted to hide something and she accidentally clicked yes now the Mac icons are no longer visible on the desktop.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi there...thank you for the excellent help!
With the Windows full-screen open press the command
key so that the dock and the upper window will show
up. Then, with the key still pressed, go to PC >
Windowed mode.

  • How do I hide the 3 desktop icons? [RESOLVED]

    I wanted to hide (not delete) the 3 desktop icons.  I think I can do this by altering one of the kde files, but I don't know which one.  Please can someone tell me which file+path I need to alter?

    Thanks!  My desktop is now just that bit cleaner.   However, it causes Beryl not to work.   I'll have to file a bug report with the Beryl Project.

  • If you've changed your startup options on mac to start in windows, how do you fix and go back to mac on startup?

    if you've changed your startup options on mac to start in windows, how do you fix and go back to mac. I can't get my mac to switch back to mac, it is like stuck in widows mode, I have tried holding down the options key upon start up and that did not fix it either.
    Please help! Thank you so much!

    The Apple drivers you install in Windows also puts a Startup Drive icon in the Task Bar. Choose that to change the startup disk back OS X.

    OS X Mavericks caused my mac to shut down. How do you resolve this issue?

    Some crappy software you have installed caused your Mac to shut down. Boot into safe mode and see if you have a kernel panic log  in Console, System Diagnostic Messages. If so, post it here.

  • I can't click on the tabs on my desktop firefox, firefox 30, how do you fix this?

    I have reset and still get this issue, I would go and click on open new tab and then I would see the tab on the toolbar. I would go and try to open the tab by clicking on it and it would not work. How do you fix this? I know about shortcuts but its irritating and I share the computer and the shortcuts is slowing productivity. Thank you in advance.

    The mouse does not activate a tab, but a keyboard shortcut like Ctrl+2 to activate the second tab on the bar, does work?
    The Reset was a good thing to try. But some add-ons may reinstall after a Reset so those are worth reviewing again.
    Users have reported some new tab dysfunction is associated with Conduit add-ons, such as a Conduit plugin and/or a "Community Toolbar" extension.
    You can check for and disable extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * <u>Windows: Ctrl+Shift+a</u> , Mac: Command+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that help with the "+" button? If so, could you name the specific extension that caused the problem?
    You might also check the Plugins section of the Add-ons page. You can use "Never Activate" to disable plugins that you don't ordinarily use.
    Does that help at all?

  • I need to create a ghost image of my G4 iBook (OSX 10.3.9) and replace the OS9 on my G4 tower with the created iBook ghost image. How do you do this?

    I need to create a ghost image of my G4 iBook (OSX 10.3.9) and replace OS9 on a G4 tower with the Ghost image. How do you do this? Will my applications still work?
    The iBook is running Pather, i have tons of programs i use on it, project files, etc... and my G4 Mac tower is more powerful, faster, and more reliable than the iBook. I basiclly just want to take the entire OS, programs and files... create an image, and drop the image on the G4 Tower so it basically will function just like the iBook. Like a mirror image of everything that is on the iBook.  I know that you can create image files in the Disk Utility on Panther, but will that back up the entire OS with settings, programs, files and all?  ive never done anything like this before, so i wanted to post this up to see if i would get an answer. In the meantime, im reading "Mac OS X, Help Desk Essentials By Owen Linzmayer" to see if i can find the steps to do this.
    Any help would be greatly apprciated. Much thanks!

    Can't be done as an exact copy from one Mac to the other.  The operating systems are system specific. First make sure your system doesn't need a firmware update to get 10.2 or later on it. You'll need to install 9 on it if it does, direct from a 9 retail CD that is compatible with it *.  This disc can't say Upgrade, Dropin, or OEM. To determine compatibility, identify your G4 tower:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3082
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42739
    Then look at the OS 9 compatibility:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
    Then apply the correct update
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
    The last Mac OS 9 to come retail is 9.2.1, and that's newer than 9.0.4, 9.0.2, and 9.1.
    Your ghost image can be done using cloning software, but then you'll have to use a retail 10.3 installer and 10.3.9 combo update on the G4 tower.  Then use the Migration Assistant to import the data from the clone of the iBook. The 10.3 retail disc looks like * and does not say upgrade, dropin, or OEM.  The 10.3.9 combo update is here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
    The clone to an external hard drive can be done with these instructions*:

  • The link to deleting temporary internet files found under the Tools tab has disappeared. How do I restore this link?

    The link to deleting temporary internet files, cookies, etc. has disappeared from the Tools tab. How do I restore this link?

    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/remove-recent-browsing-search-and-download-history#w_how-do-i-clear-my-history
    Also Firefox uses a Cache and not IE's temporary internet files.

    Hello Virginia.
    You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

  • In the properties window from a CWGraph you can set the style (bar, line, multicolor). How can you do this programmaticly?

    I can't find the style property in my object inspector(Delphi). With style, I want to set the graphic type. For example: simple, bar or multicolor. In the help from the CWGraph object I can not find anything about it. I have solved the problem now by exporting the desired graph and then import it if I create a new object Dynamicly. Does anyone have an answer?

    You set the style for each individual CWPlot, not the graph itself. Each plot can have its own style, the graph style sheet is just there for quick changes of common plot styles. You would change the LineStyle, PointStyle, Colors, etc of each plot to do this programmatically. For example, to pick a bar style for a plot you would:
    CWGraph1.Plots(1).LineStyle = cwLineStepXY
    CWGraph1.Plots(1).FillToBase = True
    CWGraph1.Plots(1).PointStyle = cwPointNone
    This would create a plot that steps and is filled to base with no points shown (bars). If you want to see how the graph styles change the plots, pick a graph style in the property pages, then look at the plot page and see how the plot properties changed.

  • My songs in the library keep freezing when playing, how do you solve this?

    I've recently updated my iTunes software and since doing this each time I play one of my songs in my library, It keeps freezing and stuttering inbetween each song. Is there a bug on the latest software? How do i fix this.
    Thank you.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Until recently, if I closed Firefox using the "Exit" menu option, it would not trigger the "closing multiple tabs" warning. How do I restore this behavior?

    Up until a few weeks ago--I think when I updated to Firefox 23, though it may have been 22--if I enabled "Warn me when closing multiple tabs," the warning would display only if I closed out a window using the X in the upper right-hand corner, but not if I closed the browser down correctly from the menu. Now it's warning me when I use the menu, too. Is there a way to revert this behavior? I only need the warning if I accidentally hit the x for the entire window instead of for a single tab.

    You can consider to use this startup setting:
    *Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • I want to delete the little icons that appear next to the bookmarks, they take up space. how do you do this?

    on the bookmark bar in firefox 4, it now shows the logos of my bookmarks next to each of them. This takes up too much space and i can no longer see all of my bookmarks

    You can do that with the Bookmarks Deiconizer extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmarks-deiconizer

  • Each time I click on a link, firefox opens up the page in a new window, how do I prevent this from happening, ie. view the page in the current window?

    Until I installed an Adobe update, my firefox worked fine, I have had to restore my computer and restart firefox due to advertising which was installed along with the update. Now each time I click on a webpage, a new tab opens and I can no longer view the webpage in the current tab. As you can tell, I am not that computer savy, but I have tried to change all the settings in the options and nothing has worked. I hope this makes sense, please help as it's driving me mad having all of these tabs.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • I used to be able to use the reduce picture ( middle button ) using Firefox and dragging the image to another screen. How do I restore this as the reduce button will not work ?

    The top right corner of the screen allows you to reduce the size of your entire image on Firefox . I used to be able to do this so I could drag the image to another screen . Suddenly I cannot do so anymore from my laptop. What can I do ?

    Could you clarify where you are doing your search?
    ''For Firefox's "Search bar",'' which is the box on the right end of the main navigation toolbar with the icon indicating your currently selected search engine, there is a hidden setting for this:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sear''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.search.openintab''' preference to switch it from false to true.
    If you test, does it work?
    ''For searches from other places,'' could you be more specific about where you are entering your query (e.g., address bar, built-in home page, on a search engine site)?

  • When i click on the Itunes desktop icon nothing happens?

    When i click on the Itunes desktop icon nothing happens? I've uninstalled itunes with Revo Uinstaller and deleted all traces and then reinstalled it through the Apple Software Updater and i still cant get Itunes to come up when i click on it.
    I've read that i can go to the task manager and end the process but im afraid to it says "Warning" when i click to end the process.
    Anybody help?
    Message was edited by: jckinnick

    +Yeah itunes.exe is the process im wondering about ending, wouldn't it be ended if i'v turned my computer of since then?+
    Something must be auto-starting itunes, then. For instance MSN messenger, it can have a plug-in to show what's playing in itunes and that could be starting itunes. There are other programs that can do it too - I don't know what's on your PC.
    Since this is happening in more than one account, I think you are going to have to go through the pain of using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot this issue.
