I like to add an Icon to my desktop for sites that I frequently use. Now I only know how (when I am on the site that I want to add) by clicking the "Favorite" star at the top right of my screen that opens a new window where I can create a new folder which I name. Then I have to go to file explorer and search for the new folder that I created. When the search function finds the new file I click and drag the file to my desktop. Now my icon for this favorite site is on my desktop for use. This seems like a lot to do for this feature. There must be a simpler way to do this?
When I go to one of those sites that tells you weather the site is up or down, it states its up, so the problem must be at my end. Ran virus scan. Did one of those ip / dns flush. All other sites work just fine. No other issues. Windows 10. Generally use Firefox, but I tried IE also, same result.
Error message is as follows:
MySQL Error! MySQL error in file: /engine/classes/mysqli.class.php at line 52 Error Number: 1 The Error returned was: Host 'hosted-by.724server.com' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts' SQL query:
I have just accepted a free upgrade offer from Windows 7 to 10. I am now offered a login page with a demand for a password which I do not have and which I am not allowed change without a USB flash drive which I don't have. I now have no toolbar with which to access other sites or programmes and am having to write this post on a different laptop.
A desktop icon suddenly appeared on my desktop.. If I delete it, the whole desktop is also deleted... The desktop folder on the drive, does not contain that icon...
I upgraded from Windows 7 Pro and find that the 'Show Desktop' rectangular space at the far right side of the notification area is missing although posted desktop images Windows 10 have the same rectangular space. However, if I hover the cursor over the screen border in that area for about 5 seconds the desktop appears and if I click on the border it remains otherwise it reverts to the previous screen. So, I assume that the 'Show Desktop' functionality is working OK even though the rectangular space is missing. How to restore the rectangular space?
I would like to create a shortcut icon on my Windows 10 desktop to execute the following command:c:Program Files (x86)Mozilla Thunderbird hunderbird. exe -safe-mode.I seem to recall that this was easy in earlier versions of Windows. (As were many other actions!).
I have lots of shortcut icons on my desktop for files and programs. That means 2 or 3 columns of small icons. It would appear the Win 10 will only allow 1 column. I've messed with the icon spacing and vertical spacing (regedit) and the vertical spacing works but horizontal spacing seems to have no effect.
I'm used to tweaking the values in HKCUControlPanelDesktopWindowsMetricsIcon Spacing in previous version of Windows, but it appears to work a bit differently in Win10.
Changing the Icon Spacing from the default of -1560 to, say -2000, gives more room for the icon title to spread out, but doesn't actually move the icons. e.g. I have some icons with long titles wrapped on two lines. By increasing the value to -2000 the titles now sit on a long single line, but the icons haven't moved. In fact, the icon titles now will overlap if I have two long-titled icons next to each other.
{Edited to add:]
Oh, for heavens sake! I had done several Icon Spacing tweaks in the registry and rebooted several times but nothing changed except the titles expanding wider. Then, I decide to move some icons around. Poof! The entire desktop grid adjusted the icon spacing, and rearranged the icons! Go figure.
Is there a way to make W10 move an Icon from the Taskbar to the Desktop? I could do this in W8.1 although I was using Start8.
This has become a minor issue with W10 since when I install an update to a program (reinstall a newer version) the "old" Icon in the Taskbar becomes unusable. That would not be a problem EXCEPT on two of my 6 W10 machines the install does not create a new Desktop Icon automatically!?
Also, is it possible to create a Desktop Icon from the All Apps list. I find the "Pin to Start" and "Pin to Taskbar" by right clicking on the program but the "Show Icon on Desktop" feature is not there or at least I can't find it?
With win 8.1 all I had to do was right click the page and I was shown a small dialogue box asking me if I wanted to put the site on the desktop. Why did they change this?
All of a sudden, my desktop icons have been superimposed by the Origin app icon (see attached image). (Edit: Not all of them, only .exes it seems?) I had a quick run with Avira on it but nothing extensive yet. Is this something that can happen or should I keep searching for malware?
I have factually just installed windows 10, given it the time it required and let it load.
First, my mouse was missing and the desktop icon names were white with clear centre of the words.
So I restarted my factual laptop. I regained my mouse however the desktop icon shortcut names under the icons themselves still remain see-through without the usual black colour.
when I started my PC the icons on the Desktop were sorted by name. I suppose my brother accidentally click on the sort option yesterday. They get sorted by name even when I click on Refresh.Is there a way to disable it because it's really irritating to arrange them every time I start the PC or refresh the Desktop.
I tried to log in to my workplace computer using remote desktop web access. website allows me to sign in to RD service website but when I try to login a workplace computer it not respond when I click connect button. I am not sure this problem is MS edge or Win 10. I am using Win 10 Home version.
I would like to add pages to my favorite bar over time, and have them be at the top of the order so they are visible. I don't want to have to go to the star drop down and find them.
I swear the more I use Windows 10, the more I hate it. It is beyond a doubt the least friendly of all their OS'swhere do you go to change the desktop icon text size and font? or is it another Regedit thing?
It took a while but I finally was able to install Windows 10. My question now is, is there is a way to change the desktop icon fonts (name, size, bold, italic)? I right clicked on the desktop but couldn't find anything about fonts.
