Cannot remove items from the view of games

I inadvertently dragged a shortcut on the desktop (to a URL) on my games window. It now appears in the list of games, but I can't delete it – make a right click does not have a menu and organization | Delete does nothing. How can I get rid of it please?

It has been for me an experience of Discovery Channel and another example of the way in their attempts
to make Win7 dumbed down and easy, they often succeed in the opposite direction.

«The ' menu of games that I'm talking about is one you get when you click on "Games" after clicking «Start»»»

This is what I found last night. Three options are found in the start menu.
Two present in the right pane - either / or - display as a link or show as Menu.
I don't know I noticed them during the first pass of Win7, but had turned them off since then and paid little
attention than start\program as well.

* Process * -.
Display as link
is apparently one you use and the only one of the three I have no
try to slip and fall in last night (how is that bad science.). I see now that it's actually opens
a window of vs an extension out of the Start Menu.
The folder I was focused on what is start\program, and is the one who has the 'real '.
the folder I was alluding.
The other two are also, but I now have a link to the universal currency converter
with my game shortcuts in the window display as link and show as Menu.. 

More fun - as I hoped, delete the folder games start\program is only temporary.
I thought it would come to the time where the installation of a new game, but no, drop the shortcut URL in
the window display as link also creates a file it with the shortcut URL in there, which
will remove.  Strange science, what!

OK - I'm off to find where Windows MASK the 'real' folder, that these two other Menu start files
are stored in. I don't know that I fell on it in the past...
* return * traces - well, I found the Game Explorer folder and deleted the most recent file (they were quite 'intelligent' hide which is what using numbers/letters rather than the names of game).
All this is move the icon for the shortcut from the list of games 'Unspecified '.
Maybe it's role-playing GE folder?

Another weakness with this business of game Explorer is that it lists all of the games. He has only 86
by 145 games I installed. It lacks all the steam and the 8 demo and games BACK.

EDIT: Maybe a system restore? I tried to restore the file to a previous version, but that did not help.
I can't (won't) to try the system restore because it allows you to uninstall a game yesterday, I downloaded form steam.
Crikey! Now, it seems that I am stuck with a URL in a window full of shortcuts that I use never - OMG!

EDIT again: deleted the folder of game Explorer (User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows,
rebooted and everything came back, always with the URL shortcut, so there must be a
«real real honest to the of the goodness experience record- must find the folder... »

----------------------------------------------------
STOP press: I was looking for a similar folder in the 'real' Start Menu folder, but this is not what we
It's she want! Registry... That is why the AppData folder is alphanumeric, Yes!

Open regedit and go to-
REGISTRY\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameUX\Games

And then type the URL name to Edit > find (I just typed universal currency) and the
Registry entry for the shortcut URL wandering will highlight. You can verify that this is the right key duplicate
by clicking on the title before deleting.

End of the story. Ooh! It was fun...

  • Cannot remove messages from the Inbox

    I'm unable to remove items from the Inbox

    You did not mention what e-mail program you use. These instructions will help you with Outlook Express.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox if you can and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.

    Compact all folders as described below.

    To avoid this in the future:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

  • remove items from the path

    I tried to delete the path points where the width and the height is zero.

    If there are 3 such pathitems, iam cannot remove the last element, it returns the error "No such element" in vb.net.

    for i = 1 to app.activeDocument.pathItems.count

    If app.activeDocument.pathItems (i) .width = 0 then

    app.activeDocument.pathItems (i) .delete

    end if

    next

    Please let me know the problem in the above lines.

    Kind regards

    Sashi

    Because when you delete items, the index is rechecked. Remove 2 of pathItems, pathItems (3) is no longer exists.

    Thus, instead of the increase in the index, you should use order of decrease.

  • Remove items from the library

    I am new to the catalyst, so maybe this is a stupid question.

    I created a bad datalist and as soon as I realized my mistake I deleted the artboard, but it is still in my library. Now, whenever I run the project, I receive an alert indicating that DataList1 missing a necessary part and will produce an error.

    I need DataList1, and I'm not really interested to fix. In the current version of the application, is there a way to simply remove this component in my library so that I don't have to handle the error more?

    Thank you.

    Currently you can not remove the components from the library panel, but it is something that we are working on. There is a temporary solution: switch to code view and you will see a sign on the right side of the screen that shows all the files in your project. The components folder, to a DataList1.mxml file. Right-click on it and choose Remove.

    Note that if you follow the steps above and you remove a component that is used elsewhere in your project, your application will not compile.
