Windows 7 Taskbar Jumping Issue

In windows 7, if you right click any icon that is pinned to the taskbar, and then, with that program's menu displayed, left click an empty part of the taskbar and move the mouse in any direction. The taskbar (even if it is locked) will jump to the top of the screen.

Hi
I tried but was unable to recreate the behavior you are describing.
If this is something that just started recently, you might want to try using s System Restore point to go back to a time before the behavior started.
If this does not fix the problem, try creating a new User Account, Create a user account, log on with the new account and try to recreate the behavior.
If the behavior cannot be recreated with the new user account, this may indicate that your current user account is corrupted.
If this is the case, replace the corrupted account with a new account using the instructions in the following article.

Photoshop and the Windows 7 Taskbar Jump List

One great tool for Windows 7 users is the Taskbar. start up Photoshop and the icon will show up in the taskbar. Right-click on that icon and you can pin it to the taskbar for one-click launch. The best thing about this is the list (aka "Jump List") of the 10 most recent files you will see if you right-click on the taskbar icon. You can also edit this list to remove files that you have deleted or simply pin a file to the list. Click on a file anywhere in the list and it will open. But what if you would like to increase the number of recent files? You can,and here's how:
Right-click on a vacant spot in the taskbar. Click on Properties in the context menu. Then click on the Start Menu tab. Now follow the screenshot:
You can set that jump list number up to 60 items, but your screen resolution is the limiting factor. I can set it up to 25,much better than 10 and it is for all icons in the taskbar. It's a quick way to open a file without opening Bridge or going to the File > Open Recent files list in PS.
This tip doesn't make the rounds too often and it's worth a repeat. I can only vouch for Windows 7, let us know if it works in Vista or XP.

Good plan. You'll like my Configure the Windows 8 "To Work" Options book too if you go that route. No, Windows 8 does not offer compelling reasons to move up. In fact a lot of stuff is just deleted that had value. Virtually no one can figure out what Microsoft's "strategy" is with this - I've come to conclude they don't really have a concerted strategy, and they're just trying to cover it up with Marketing BS.
About the only things I've seen going for Windows 8 are:
It's oriented toward tablets, so there will be some new tablet offerings coming out that will run a flavor of it.
It's pared down to such an extreme that it runs noticeably leaner and faster on a desktop system.
There's a cheap upgrade available ($39.99 if you have any older version of Windows).
Obvious negatives:
Completely revamped Start screen with the desktop being put off to the side. Desktop apps considered "legacy" now.
No start button, but non-obvious "hot corners" you have to just know about.
Little attempt to make it possible to use just the mouse and click on stuff, as has been the tradition.
No visual styles on the desktop at all, making it look plain and flat, and making it difficult to use multiple applications at once.
Microsoft wanting you to walk through their online App Store at every turn.
There's a web page describing all the useful stuff they've removed... It's no wonder the upgrade is going to be cheap:

Windows 7 Taskbar Preview Issue (vanishing buttons)

When I mouse over the iTunes icon on the taskbar I get the usual preview box with the 'previous', 'play', and 'next' buttons at the bottom. But after I minimize, then restore iTunes, these buttons have disappeared from the taskbar preview window. It's annoying. And I want it fixed...
Any suggestions?

Exact same problem. Very frustrating!

ITunes 10.1.1 Windows 7 taskbar icon issue

Since I updated to 10.1.1 (from 10.1) iTunes appears two times in the taskbar. I already tried deleting all shortcuts, opened iTunes and pinned the icon to the task bar. then a second icon appears - not active. if i close iTunes, the 2nd stays. if then I start iTunes from that icon it shows in another icon again. pinning that icon again gives me another icon... and so on. what did you do from version 10.1 to 10.1.1?...

No problems about the late response. Discussions has been quirky for a lot of people lately.
Since we last spoke, labnut2 has posted a nice step-by-step version of the RandomBehavior instructions in the following post:

In Firefox can not see the Downloads window, in the jump in the boot to be seen - the download speed Downloaded much and now can not see how to fix it?

Downloaded much and now can not see how to fix it?

I hate the new downloads-in-a-tab scheme. This was an unnecessary change in my book (if it aint broke, don't "fix it").
So in order to get it back, I performed the about:config browser.download.useToolkitUI change, but now all I get is a blank download window that pops up every time I download something.
Is there something else that I need to do? I've checked the change and it was saved, but it didn't resolve my issue as much as it just caused me a new issue.

Full screen windows 7 taskbar bug

Since the recent install of Flash Player 11 (v11,1,102,55) there was irritating problem on the laptop of my wife. When YouTube flash video were put in full screen the Windows 7 taskbar would remain visible.
The laptop screen is 1920 x 1200 so standard the DPI setting of the display is put to 150. If I would put the DPI to the standard setting the taskbar will disappear with full screen video but then everything is too small in windows. At first I did not release it could a problem with the Flash Player but when I did come to that conclusion I had to apply the following to the plugin-container program which is situated in the webbrowser install folder. In this case Mozilla Firefox.
After selecting the properties of plugin-container I went to the compatibility tab and put a flag in the option "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings". This basically solved the annoying problem but frankly such a sloppy fault in a commonly used program like Flash Player should not be there. I advise Adobe to correct this in the next version. There are quite a lot people these days who have laptops with HD resolution so fix it!
In the mean time I hope this will be of help to people who have a similar problem.

Oh thank God. I've been struggling with this very issue for months with my task bar obscuring Flash video in full-screen, which really sucks since that's where the video controls are.
I knew it was the DPI setting and I'm absolutely flabbergasted that Adobe hasn't accounted for this on a piece of software that is pretty much essential to using the internet and when most people are using HD displays.
After reading this fix, I immediately browsed to C:\Program Files(x86)\Mozilla Firefox and right clicked Properties on the plugin-container application. Right there on the Compatibility tab is the option Disable scaling on high DPI settings. Checked the box and imediatly full-screened the first flash video I could find. Problem solved, didn't even have to reboot the browser.
BarrieBar, I salute you. Never would have found this without your post.
Thanks.

My taskbar is blank in Firefox. It simply says 'Done' in the bottom l/h side. When I go back to windows the taskbar reappears with icons at r/h side.

My taskbar is blank in Firefox. It simply says 'Done' in the bottom l/h side. When I go back to windows the taskbar reappears with all icons at r/h side.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Windows 7 Taskbar and PSE12 Organiser

My Windows 7 taskbar does not pop-up as usual at the bottom of the screen when I have PSE 12 Organiser open full screen. To access my desktop or other programs, I have to minimise PSE 12 organiser.
The taskbar works OK when I have PSE 12 Editor open full screen

In windows 7, if you right click any icon that is pinned to the taskbar, and then, with that program's menu displayed, left click an empty part of the taskbar and move the mouse in any direction. The taskbar (even if it is locked) will jump to the top of the screen.

Can one pin all items from the bookmark toolbar to the Windows 7 Taskbar Quicklaunch icon?

Is it possible to have the favorites toolbar displayed as 'pinned favorites' on the Windows 7 Taskbar?
I know I can just drag an favorite from the Favorites Toolbar to the Firefox Quicklaunch icon,
but it looks really ugly;
It shows the default Firefox favicon with the web address partially displayed instead of the name
I have given it on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
Is there a way to preserve the favicon, and have the Favorites name displayed instead?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Nick.

Heloo,
thanks for the swift reply!
That does not resolve my issue.
My bookmarks toolbar is already nice and tidy. ([https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3fLyJeN1WiBYUV2aWloVVlGWHc/edit Screenshot])
What I am talking about, is getting them the same on the '''Windows 7 Taskbar'''.
They now look like [https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B3fLyJeN1WiBRVlKT3hzQ2FLek0 this].
The example shown is the address of my GMail inbox.
I would like to have it just show "GMail inbox" for example, instead of the url it is referring to, with the GMail favicon.

Copy Shortcuts to the Windows 7 Taskbar using MDT

I would like to copy items to the Windows 7 taskbar for all users, and do this during deployment as part of a task sequence. Does anyone know if this can be done. I found a script called pinItem.vbs, but do not know if it could be done from a TS, nor
how it would be.

Hi Scott,
I would recommend this script:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ScriptCenter/b66434f1-4b3f-4a94-8dc3-e406eb30b750/
It's a poweshell module that allows you to pin, items to both the task bar and start menu during your reference image build task sequence.
It's very simple to use this with MDT 2012 U1. Simply place the module in the folder {deploymentshare}\Tools\Modules\PinnedApplications\PinnedApplications.psm1
Then for example create a powershell "script" that looks something like this:
Import-Module PinnedApplications.psm1
Set-PinnedApplication -Action PinToStartMenu -FilePath "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Internet Explorer.lnk"
Set-PinnedApplication -Action PinToTaskbar -FilePath "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office\Microsoft Outlook 2010.lnk"
Since the module is placed in the Tools\Modules folder, MDT can find this module easily during deployment without needing to specify a path where the module can be found.
Now the most important part of everything.
Whether it's SCCM or MDT that you use to deploy your custom image, you need to edit the unattend.xml of the task sequence that is used to
>>>Deploy<<<
the image. The default user profile is copied upon first boot after the image is applied, and not during the sysprep execution of your task sequence before your image is captured.
The CopyProfile setting is not enabled by default with the unattend.xml files created by MDT or SCCM, you will need to use WSIM to add this entry, more info can be found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff716261.aspx
Dispite the article saying you cannot pin applications to start menu and task bar (and this is normally true if you do these tasks manually, then these items will not persist in the new user profile), this scripted method actually does work.
Kind regards,
Stephan Schwarz

Windows 7 taskbar freezed by iTunes

Hi there, I’m using iTunes 9.0.3 on Windows 7 x64 system and I’ve encountered this problem (not sure if this is specific to x64):
When I’m running the iTunes, sometimes the Windows 7 taskbar stops working properly. It doesn’t show the thumbnails when you mouse over a running application button and second thing, when you move your mouse off the taskbar, the taskbar remains in a state such as if there was the mouse in the place where it left the taskbar. To explain it, for example when you move mouse out of a button of an application which is running, the colored tint remains on the button even when the mouse is already off the taskbar and caption (not thumbnail) appears after a while. I would say that the taskbar is a sort of freezed. The only thing I know is that it happens sometimes when the iTunes is running but I’m not sure if it’s Windows or iTunes problem.
Have anyone of you experienced this problem?? Thanks for reply.

i have been having the same issue but my taskbar in on the left. i can move the window and just have to drag it an inch right each time.

How can I get the list view of tabs on the windows 7 taskbar exclusively and not just when I have a lot of tabs (over 13?) open at once?

How can I have tabs stack in the windows 7 taskbar before I have 13 tabs open?

Upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and check

Right-click with 2 fingers on Windows Vista taskbar and nothing appears

I just updated my Bootcamp to 2.1, I thought it would solve my problem
"Right-click with 2 fingers on Windows Vista taskbar and nothing appears" but I still have this problem, I cannot right-click on my windows vista at all.
though, right-click on the notification area works.
right-click = pressing the trackpad with 2 fingers.

Now I have figured out I have to use 3 fingers instead of 2 fingers.
but in the BootCamp Control Panel there is an option that says
* Use 2 fingers for right-click

Tab Preview in Windows 7 Taskbar

Hello everyone,
I'm wondering if it is possible to disable tab preview in Safari 5 on windows 7 taskbar. I find this highly annoying as i just want to see individual instances of Safari (Should i have them that is) and not X amount of tabs in a seemingly huge jungle of tabs!
I have looked and read posts asking the same thing and yet there seems to not be an answer. Perhaps it is not even possible but i'd like at least it to be confirmed. Surely that would be a simple user preference.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Tom

There is a preference in the Options window that controls this.
Open the Options window (click the Firefox button, then select Options). In the Options window go to the Tabs section and make sure the preference "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar" is selected.
