Hi foxgang
One of my laptops with windows 8.1 on it has a load of the same icons
appearing on the task bars hidden icons. They are all a cloud with a padlock

does anyone know of them and a cause?

If firefox is on the left screen it just brings it to the front.

NVIDIA can control whether the taskbar appears on the left or right monitor. I
never notice when it
opens twice, I regulate this inside the application. My explorer behaves ok, if
I click on the taskbar
and it is open it closes to the taskbar and vice-versa.

So far, no problem here on a Lenovo tablet running 8.0 that was updated
to 8.1.
I haven't installed the development package, just a VFP9sp2 with runtime.

Yup...although you can set up so that it boots into the standard
desktop. And, there are several very affordable utilities that restore a
full, complete, Win7-like start menu.

I'm not sure. They say they dropped XP support so maybe there is no reason
why they should. I think 2003 went a while ago but I still get updates.
Thinking on it, they could be .net updates and not 2003. Cheap 2010 server

Nope. They don't update Windows 2000. They don't update Windows 3.1.

Yes, apparently. I have put them on four machines now, and paid each

Odd as all mine tell me there are updates when I go to the store. I don't
