So, I'm trying to create a minimal navigation pane in Windows Explorer on Windows 10. Under the Quick Access menu, I have pinned some favorites and frequently accessed folders/shortcuts. I believe that it'd look neater -cleaner-, to not have the little gray push pins icons to the right of the pinned folders and shortcuts. I mean, hello, I pinned them, of course they're pinned, I know it. I guess I was hoping there was some regedit mod I could change right quick to hide all push pins in the navigation pane. Does anyone know of anything like that? Google doesn't seem to....
Hide Push Pins
I realize you asked this several months ago, but here's your answer. It's a bit hack-y and involves 3rd party software, but it works perfectly.
Download Customizer God
Create a transparent .png (assuming you have Photoshop/GIMP/Affinity Photo)
Convert the .png to .ico
Open Customizer God. Select "General Icons"
Find the Quick Access pin icon by scrolling down a bit.
Hit "Change" and select your .ico
The results:

We have customers reporting an issue with icons not appearing correctly in Windows 10. I am not able to reproduce the issue with our application, but it is similar in appearance to something that's happening with other programs on my computer. The first screenshot below is from a single computer. It is my task bar on my left and middle monitors. Notice that the "notepad++" icon on the left (it's the highlighted/active icon) is the original icon with the little chameleon sitting on a pencil (you will have to zoom in) and the one on the right just shows the text "n++".
Similarly the Sql Developer icon (immediately to the right of N++) also looks different on different monitors (demonstrating that even when the app's not running this is an issue).
In fact, as I was writing up this question I found that there is a difference between two means of getting at the icon resources in notepad++.exe. If I use IconsExtract (third party tool) on the exe I get the "n++" style icon, but if I right click on N++ in the task bar > Choose properties > Click "Change Icon" I get the chameleon on a pencil icon. You can see these two overlaid in the second image.
I can't for the life of me figure out how windows decides which icon to put where. I would be satisfied with a response that just told me where the two different n++ icons really are.

(Don't be fooled by the second chameleon which does appear to be the same.
I showed this to a coworker today and he knew the answer... the taskbar on the left was my laptop and I have configured the "size of text, apps, and other items" under "scale and layout" in the "display settings" for that screen to 150%. Changing the size to 100% caused the icons to become the same across all taskbars. I'm still looking for a good article with the details as to why, but changing the size definitely fixes the issue.
I'd like to have a toolbar in my uwp app (only on phone version) and I can't figure it out. I'd like to make it like Groove Music store app have it on mobile phone :
I' d like to customize this toolbar with a toggle button and a title at least. So is there a way to do that on universal win?
It will probably be slightly different than you are thinking. UWP doesn't think so much about "what device am I on" as it thinks about what screen size it is being displayed at. So when you design your app, you want the toolbar to appear only at screen sizes below a certain amount. The closest thing to what you want might be a Command Bar, which you can put at the bottom or top.

Or you could make a custom XAML control that appears where you want it to and only shows up with a screen below a certain size. I hope this helps answer the question.
By mistake, the option on "custom sizing options" was set at 500% in the section "change the size of all items".
The result is all elements on the screen are huge, and whereas I am able to reach the display section and through tab I am able to navigate some options on the left panel, I am unable to reach the change the size of all items section.
I have tried several things to revert it to 100%, but all have failed so far:
Restart on safe mode. Displaying it on a different monitor and proyector using both hdmi and vga. Uninstalling the graphics driver didnt help. Using the "zoom" only has option to zoom in. Changing the screen orientation to vertical in hopes of accessing more options allowed me to see the left panel but not more. Using ctrl + mouse doesnt change the size inside the Display section. The computer doesnt have a restoration point to go back to, and I cant uninstall the applications because it isnt my laptop.
I have been searching for the correct command to execute but the closest I have found is "Display Properties control desk.cpl" and it is not the command I need. By the way, the computer is a lenovo using windows 8.1 in spanish. I have tried in other computers, for example a dell in windows 8 and the percetage is limited to 200%, so I cant test it correctly.
If somebody has a solution or any suggestion please share.

When I mouse over a thumbnail in Tumblr Archive, thumb goes dark and text appears over it. But something has changed in my settings and ALL thumbs appear like this. I use Win XP and the latest browser is IE8. I don't get this with Firefox or another PC.
The same thing happened to me when I updated to IE 10. It is a compatibility issue. Go to "tools" and change your "compatibility view" and it will change it back to the normal view (i.e. the thumbnails will show until you mouse over them). Have one of the archive pages open, and change it, it should update automatically. If it doesn't fool around with the settings until it changes. You can change the "compatibility view" for "tumblr" only by changing the compatibility view for that site only.
Has the browser window been removed from the latest version of Xcode? I've seen this window in an iOS class I watched online and again in a book I have. I can't find anything in the View menu to turn it on.
I'm running Lion and the latest version of Xcode. I created a new project with Core Data turned on and then built it. I then clicked on .xcdatamodeld file and I get a graphic window with the default table in it.
Do you mean the project browser on the left? You enable that using the 'view' buttons on the right side of the toolbar.
The toolbar might be hidden though, so go to the view menu and select "Show toolbar" if needed.
Then select the fourth button from the right on the toolbar, it is the first button in the set of view buttons. This shows the Navigator View on the left of your screen, which has 7 selectors on the top. The leftmost will give you the project browser (project navigator), the one next to it is the symbol navigator.
I hate to be answering my own question again. I like to keep my answer rate at 100%. Since I didn't get a response here, I tried the Apple developer forums. It turn out the Xcode 4.* changed the interface and this series of windows no longer exist. The same functions can be found in other locations.
