Windows 7 icons

How do I add an icon to the desktop.  For example, Ebay. 

Hi,
Try the following.
Launch the website you want to create a shortcut for.
Highlight the address in the address bar of your browser, right click and select copy.
Minimize the browser so you can see your Desktop, right click an empty area of the Desktop, hover the pointer over New and select Shortcut.
Right click in the 'Type the location of the item' box and select Paste then click Next.
Give the Shortcut a name you want and click Finish.
Regards,
DP-K

  • Windows Folder icon instead of Officejet 6500a Plus E710n icon in Devices and Printers

    Can anyone help me to get the OfficeJet 6500a Plus e710n printer icon to display properly in Devices and Printers?
    I recently reinstalled Windows 8.1.  However, when I installed my printer, instead of the printer icon appearing in Devices and Printers I get a generic yellow Windows folder icon.  The Fax icon is OK, just the printer icon is wrong.
    If I double click on the icon, I get a mostly blank page with a message near the top saying: "Updated information is available about your device.  Click here to download or learn more."  If I click on the notice, a dropdown menu appears with "Download updated information" or "Learn more".  If I choose downloaded update information, a new printer window appears which is mostly blank except for a message at the centre of the window which says, "No tasks are available on this page"  The Learn more option just gives me info about updating drivers.
    The printer icon on the Start menu is fine.
    I've used HP Print and Scan Doctor to uninstall and reinstall my printer but this hasn't helped.  The program found a problem with the printer driver and fixed it, but that hasn't changed the icon either.
    I am running Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit fully up to date, and used the latest full version of the HP installation program for the printer (not the basic version) and HP Print and Scan Doctor v4.6.
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Try following these steps and let me know if that may help:
    From the control Panel select Network and internet and open the Network and Sharing Center.
    Click on Change Advanced Sharing Center.
    Ensure that Network Discovery is trned on but uncheck the box next to "Turn on automatic setup of network connected devices".
    From devices and printer right click the printer and select Remove Device, repeat the for the Fax icon.
    Note: if no such option exists for the printer follow the next steps.
    Right click the background area and select Device Mahager.
    Remove any instance of the printer from Imaging Devices, Printers, Print Queues, Multifunction Adaptors, Other Devices (if a such exists).
    Once you are done the printer should no longer appear under Devices and Printers...
    Open teh HP Officejet 6500 E710 software, select Connect a new Printer and check for any differnce.
    Hope that helps,

  • How to customize Windows partition icon in bootloader?

    Hi, I customized my windows partition icon in OS X but bootcamp's bootloader still shows the partition with a normal disk icon.
    Is there any possible way to change the icon to customized icon?
    I've searched lots of information on the net, couldn't find any clue for that though.
    Please let me know if you have anything about it.
    Thanks.

  • JPanel Scrollable mimic Windows Explorer Icon View

    I am developing an image viewer application, and I want my thumbnail image JPanel to mimic MS Windows Explorer's layout in icon view. However, I have not been able to accomplish this. I have searched high and low, finding many others with my same problem, but no solution. To see exactly what I want to mimic, go to Windows Explorer and take a look at Icon View.
    Windows Explorer seems to be using a type of FlowLayout, and the icons get wrapped to the next line. If the number of icons exceeds the viewable space, the vertical scrollbar appears. Note that there is no horizontal scrolling; only vertical scrolling with the FlowLayout. If the user adjusts the SplitPane, then the layout adjusts the scrolling and icons accordingly.
    ============================================================
    QUESTION: How can I get my JPanel to mimic Windows Explorer Icon View?
    ============================================================
    10 Dukes to anyone who can get this to mimic Windows Explorer. Ideally the solution would not be too involved.
    P.S. I think it stinks that JPanel, by design, does not implement Scrollable Interface. Even then, it doesn't work the way I want it to with my FlowLayout and only vertical scrolling. Does anyone understand why it doesn't implement Scrollable, like JTextArea, JEditorPane, etc. do?
    Thanks
    Wayne

    Thanks camickr! I didn't try your layout manager since I managed to find another one which seems to do the trick as well. Here is the link from which I found it:
    http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=c43ovb%242db505%241%40ID-76750.news.uni-berlin.de&output=gplain
    It seems that in the source there is a small bug which is easy to fix. I think the boolean parameters in minimumLayoutSize and preferredLayoutSize should be changed.
    So in minimumLayoutSize():
    return computeSize(target, true);and in preferredLayoutSize():
    return computeSize(target, false);After that fix, it worked just fine for me.

  • Want to change Form MDI Window default icon as well as default window icon

    Hi,
    I am using oracle forms 10g. I need to change the mdi window default icon as well as default window icon of inner form. But i do not know the way. Pls help me.

    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/webutil.htm
    webutil lets you access the client machine from webforms. you'll need to install it on the application server and include the webutil library and object group in the form which will change the MDI window's icon (probably the first form in the application).

  • How to move the Firefox 'close window' x icon to the right-hand corner?

    I've just been given the option to upgrade my Ubuntu Linux (from Karmic Koala to Lucid Lynx). Although the updated colour scheme and Fire fox look great, one annoyance is that the 'close window' X-icon has moved from the right-hand corner to the left-hand corner.
    As a right-handed person, my mouse pointer drifts over to the right-hand side of windows, so moving this icon from the right corner to the left corner doesn't make sense to me, as a right-handed person (~90% of the world are right-handed?).
    I know that there's almost definitely a keyboard shortcut for 'close window' but I would like to see the 'Close window' 'x' back in the right-hand corner, or an option/preference to put it back where it always used to be! (as far as I know...).
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == When I upgraded Firefox to 3.6.3 as part of Ubuntu upgrade from KK to LL release. Think I might have been running an older 3.6.x version of Firefox prior to this.

    This problem is not particular to Firefox but rather a design scheme that is applied to all programs running Lucid Lynx.
    Solution 1.
    Go to System > Preferences > Appearance. Choose a Theme that has the right orientation rather than the left.
    Solution 2.
    Open up a Terminal and run this snippet to move everything to the right again:
    gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string menu:minimize,maximize,close

  • Lenovo ideapad yoga 13 no windows 10 icon

    HI I have on and off used this laptop which has been faultless so far.  However I dont seem to have any windows 10 icon that will allow to hopefully upgrade ! Have I just to be patient and wait or is there something I need to do ?   i have  winodws 8.1 on it and really not a fan of it hence the not really using it that much. I still have over over 2 years left  weven though the lenovo site seems to think differently however I have proof from Fenwicks that says differently. Any help on this or advice would be great ! Many thanks  Robert       

    I have the same problem.  If I continually power cycle the machine (either via CTRL-ALT-DEL or the switch) combined with either plugging or unplugging it from power I can eventually get it to boot up.  No idea how to fix it yet.  I noticed that the fan doesnt seem to be running when it doesn't boot and it is almost like it has to "warm up" or something before it will boot to the hard drive.  Any fixes would be greatly appreciated.

  • Shortcut icon replaced by windows file icon after installing 3.6.12 version

    using W7. After installing version 3.6.12 and changing the persona i noticed that the mozilla icon on the task bar was replaced by a windows file icon.

    You can try to reset the Windows icon cache.
    * Open the Task Manager (Shift+Ctrl+ESC)
    * In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
    * Open the file picker via "File > New Task (Run)" and click the Browse button.
    * Type or Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local in the File name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
    * Select the file IconCache.db and use Delete in the right-click context menu to delete the file.
    * After the IconCache.db has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process via "File > New Task" to get the desktop and Taskbar back.
    * It is possible that the file IconCache.db is a hidden file and in that case you need to enable viewing hidden files. You can verify that you can see the file before doing the above mentioned steps.

  • Windows 7 icons disappear/reappear Green Progress folder bar issues with slow performance. HELP!!!

    Hi there, I hope someone can help me. This all started about a week ago. So I tried a fresh reinstall from my recovery disk. to no avail. Ok I have Home Premium 64bit and it seems my icons in my user folders and subfolders and the actual file icons are
    blank stand ard or missing. after a while they reappear to normal. the green progress bar in the explorer folders always lags and never fully completes. It hangs. Now I see that it takes 30 secs to get a program to open. Currently my control panel screen is
    blank and my connection between my ipod touch 5g and my desktop is very slow at data transfer. I'm going bonkers! The only things I altered was turning off WMM in my router, Installed a software someone gave me (only to find out it was a crack software) deleted
    that first! and used CCleaner to clean my registry

    Hi,
    So a total reinstall didn’t fix the issue?
    We may take a try with the following article to make Windows a better performance.
    Optimize Windows for better performance
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows/optimize-windows-better-performance#optimize-windows-better-performance=windows-7
    Then, please check to see if any new updates available, also the related drivers, make sure they are up-to-date.

  • How do I get Windows Key/Icon to work again ( Not a keyboard fault - No menu, No apps )

    Had a technical issue with a crashed application, so tried a rollback to a stable point in time. Went OK and solved the problem I had, but absolutely screwed up Windows 10.
    Pressing the windows key does nothing. Pressing the start icon does nothing. I can't type in anything in "Search web and windows". If I run something like calculator, it appears and then vanishes before I see anything other than a blank window.
    All the new apps are completely stuffed, but all the normal Windows 10 functions are otherwise fine. I can run control panel ( Can't run update - that's an App ) - I can run command  prompt OK. Programs work fine ( just not apps ). I think a critical
    update is missing and severely screwed things up, but I can't update because that's busted. Anything that's not Windows 7-ish doesn't work anymore - like it doesn't exist.
    Yeah, I know some people will say that's an improvement but too much stuff needs the new system and I want it all back - :( How do I fix it without a complete system rebuild?
    Thanks
    David

    .......... I think a critical update is missing and severely screwed things up, but I can't update because that's busted. ..............
    To do Windows Updates without Start Menu, try this method given by Insider Hub:
    To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
    Select the Internet Explorer icon.
    Type http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
    Enter.
    If you are prompted to run a control, click
    Yes.
    This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
    If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
    Hold down the Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
    Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
    Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.            
    OR
    Hold down the Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
    shutdown –r to restart
    If that does not work, perhaps a reinstall is in order.

  • Windows and icons are black, menu items are not showing correctly

    Hello!
    Well just doing my normal routine today browsing the Internet, watching videos on vlc, my computer suddenly started to glitch. Icons were disappearing, Safari turned black.
    So i did a restart but the problem is still there. I cant even choose the user properly because the avatars are not there it's just all dark gray. Remembering where my user avatar is, i do a click and type in my password and I do and able to get in to my system but all windows menu items and icons are black.
    Basically what I'm saying is the system seems to be working fine except for that I can't see the icons and windows properly displayed.
    I've already tried to reinstall of Mavericks hoping that it's a software thing. You guys think it's a problem with the graphic processor?
    Any help or suggestions will be appreciated thank you.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as certain other aspects of the configuration that may have a bearing on the problem. Don’t be alarmed by the apparent complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode, if possible. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. If you can only boot in safe mode, you can still use this procedure, but not all of it will work. Be sure to mention that in your reply, if you haven't already done so. 
    Below are instructions to enter UNIX shell commands. The commands are safe and do nothing but produce human-readable text output, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. I am not asking you to trust me. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
    The commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. Step 1 should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    { echo "Loaded kernel extensions:"; kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'; echo $'\n'"Loaded user agents:"; launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)|\.[0-9]+$/{print $3}'; echo $'\n'"Inserted libraries:"; launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES; echo $'\n'"User cron tasks:"; crontab -l; echo $'\n'"System launchd configuration:"; cat /e*/lau*; echo $'\n'"User launchd configuration:"; cat .lau*; echo $'\n'"Login items:"; osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | sed $'s/, /\\\n/g'; echo $'\n'"Safari extensions:"; /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print L*/Saf*/*/E*.plist | awk -F'= ' '/Bundl/{print $2}' | sed 's/\..*$//;s/-[1-9]$//'; printf "\nRestricted user files: %s\n" $(find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) | wc -l); echo $'\n'"Extrinsic loadable bundles:"; cd; find -L /S*/L*/E* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,In,Keyb,Mail/Bu,P*P,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo}* -type d -name Contents -prune | while read d; do /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print :CFBundleIdentifier' "$d/Info.plist" | egrep -qv "^com\.apple\.[^x]|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|HDPro|HighPoint|driver\.stex|hp-fax|JMicron|print|SoftRAID" && echo ${d%/Contents}; done; echo $'\n'"Unsigned shared libraries:"; find /u*/{,*/}lib -type f -exec sh -c 'file -b $1 | grep -qw shared && ! codesign -v $1' {} {} \; -print; echo; ls -A {,/}L*/{La,Priv,Sta}* L*/Fonts; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    The command may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A TextEdit window will open with the output. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Remember that you must be logged in as an administrator for this step. Do as in Step 1 with this line:
    { echo "Loaded system agents:"; sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo $'\n'"Login hook:"; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo $'\n'"Root cron tasks:"; sudo crontab -l; echo $'\n'"Log check:"; syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}'; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    You can then quit Terminal.
    To prevent confusion, I'll repeat: When you type your password in the Terminal window, you won't see what you're typing.
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, set one before taking Step 2. If that’s not possible, skip the step.
    Important: If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output of these commands, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    Remember, Steps 1 and 2 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output as text, not as a screenshot.
    Please post the contents of the TextEdit window, not the Terminal window.

  • Gmail scroll down arrow is covered by Firefox 4 window resize icon

    I updated Firefox to version 4 and now the scroll down arrow for the main mailbox of Gmail is covered up by the window resizing triangle icon for Firefox at the bottom right on the window.
    The scroll down arrow is effectively made unavailable.
    This appears to be the only site that causes this problem.

    You can add the bottom back back to your screen, which will move the resize corner below the scroll arrows. Just go to the '''View menu''' > '''Toolbars''' and enable the '''Add-on bar'''.
