How you go about it?
Here there is a guide if you continue Windows
How to make icons for Windows 7 high resolution of any Image
Or a plugin for Photoshop Telegraph .ico
http://Telegraphics.com.au/SW/product/ICOFormat
Use the download links on the right side of the page, which is going to be Windows 64-bit for most people (I'm still assuming that you're a Windows user). Open the zip file that contains a
ICOFormat64.8bi
file and the readme.html file that tells you where to look for the file ICOFormat64.8bi. Note: I think you need to make hidden files visible to do this. I'm not also sure if the Readme file contains information as authorized image for icons, but 256 x 256 sizes will be bigger, if my memory is.
Good luck and have fun.

All the ' * .exe ' programs will not start by simply clicking on the shortcut icon. I need a right click and select "Run as Administrator" to get the program to run. By clicking on the left, a box opens, which says "Windows cannot open this file: file iexplore.exe (example)". "" It then goes on to ask if I want to use the web or select a program from a list of installed programs. Is there a way to get this back to "normal"?

How to change the shortcut to switch tabs.
I change from Safari to Firefox, and I'm used to the shortcut (apple) + (shift) + (right) to change the tabs.
I was looking for a way to change the shortcut by default (ctrl) + (tab) in firefox for the behavior of apple.
Y at - it simple addon/change so I can customize this behavior? Or should I look into writing/editing code base in firefox? If so, is - anyone can provide advice on how to do it?Thank you
Kevin.
Please note that Keyconfig worked perfectly.
For documentation, that's what I used:
Name: Next tab
Code: gBrowser.mTabContainer.advanceSelectedTab (1, true);
Mapped Apple + shift + right
I also did the same for the previous tab as well
Name: Next tab
Code: gBrowser.mTabContainer.advanceSelectedTab (-1, true);
Mapped Apple + SHIFT + left

Change the shortcut tab of the controls
Is there a way to change the shortcut tab in the Enter key, instead of using the Tab key? And it is possible to set the tab order of controls?
Thank you
Chris
I would advise against using tab for navigation has been standardized for a long time. But you can use the button Down? event filter in an event structure to change a behavior of keys. Specifically if someone hits the identification key 9 by Char and ASCII for Vcleentry. You can also use this to disable the tab key.

* Original title: Steve M.
I have My Documents on my Windows 7 desktop. When I click the icon, an icon My Documents Shortcut.link then appears next to the My Documents icon. When I right click on the shortcut icon, my screen started flickering and I mus do a Ctl/Alt/Delete to return to display system and monitor to normal.
I tried to remove the My Documents icon, but who only 'pretending' in the file recycle. Of course, I don't want to totally delete the My Documents!
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thank you.
Although it is strange that the location of your documents is
C:\Users\Steve\Doc
Instead of
C:\Users\Steve\Documents
This result shows that the "My Documents" icon on your desktop is a shortcut and not the actual file with your documents. The icon on your desktop has a blue arrow, like this:
If you delete this icon, you should get a message like this:
As long as the 'shortcut' word is in the message "Are you sure", everything you delete is a shortcut and not your actual files... so go ahead and delete it. You can then create a new shortcut or just use the 'Documents' shortcut located on the start menu:

BlackBerry Smartphones, please allow us to change the shortcuts!
I have the BlackBerry Bold 9700 (which I love), however, I have a small complaint, the shortcut alt + del on SMS. If you press on these you lose any of your text.
Now, I often write messages that are more than two or three long texts, for then all text deleted because I accidentally press the wrong buttons is very annoying!
We would not be able to change the shortcuts, or be able to remove?
After all, a shortcut is supposed to be useful to the user, NOT frustrating.

How can I change the shortcut to move between the layers?
I am well aware of how to move between the layers, using the keyboard. I also know how to find my keyboard shortcuts (Edition > keyboard shortcuts). I am unable to find, however, is where can I change the shortcut to move between layers. I searched the whole shortcut list a few times now and I don't see it anywhere. What Miss me?
The answer is simple. Shortcuts of Photoshop not all are editable. Some shortcuts cannot be changed. ALT +, (Select low layer Visible), Alt +. (Select the Visible layer), Alt + [(select the next lower layer Visible), and Alt +](upper layer select next Visible) are the keys to select and scroll through the layers. Only the Visible layer can be selected with these shortcut keys. This means that you cannot solve any of the visible layers in the Action in a relative way. They would need to be address by the name of the layer that is a problem for the layer names need not be unique. There may be more than one layer of the same name.
