  2. NIGHTMARE icon in windows taskbar

    Ok ... this is really an annoying thingy in Windows Vista that till today. My top wish list is to solve this !!! *Bang Head :banghead:*Bang Head :banghead:*Bang Head :banghead:*Bang Head :banghead:*Bang Head :banghead:

    See attached pic ... for eg. open My Computer ... icon is of course as shown - the My Computer default Vista icon ... after you browse? *swoosh* kind of black magic ... it changes to that icon with the green arrow ... browsing back to My Computer it remains like that ... with the green arrow!!!

    This happens to any and all folders ! ... When you load it ... it comes up with the default folder ... after exporing through folder it changes ... and remains like that.

    For info : have tried a fresh installation of Vista to make sure that no bug got in. So must be some DAMN Vista settings

    Thanks mates ... hope you enjoy this puzzle !

    System Icons on taskbar

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

    Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

    If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:


    • Click on the search bar on the taskbar.

    • Type system icons.

    • Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.

    Hope it helps.

  4. Windows default taskbar icons

    I changed my taskbar icons and now I don't know how to change them back to their default icon...

    Hi AZ,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand the concern as you would like to change the app icons on the taskbar to default.
    In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below:



    • What is the Version and Build of Windows 10 currently installed? (Type
      winver in Windows search/Run command)
    • Are you referring the default Windows 10 app icon on taskbar?


    In this scenario, we would suggest you to perform these steps and check if you are able to get the default icons.

    1. Right Click on the icons in the taskbar and click on Unpin from taskbar.
    2. Now press Windows + I key to launch Settings.
    3. Click on Personalization and select Themes from the left pane.
    4. Click on Desktop icon settings from the right pane.
    5. Click on Restore Default and click OK.
    6. Now click on the Search box and type the app you want to pin to taskbar.
    7. Right click on the app and select Pin to Taskbar.
    8. Now check if you have the default icons.


    Please help us with the screenshot of the Taskbar (Press Windows + R key and type msinfo32, click OK) for further investigation. (Please follow the steps mentioned in the
    screenshot posted
    by Shawn ‘Cmdr’ Keene on Oct 2, 2015 to post the screenshots.) Do not share any personal information in the screenshots.



    Let us know the results. We will certainly assist you further.
