Create a desktop shortcut to open the (subway) start?

I want to make a shortcut on the desktop to open the subway (Start Menu). I know there are ways to make desktop for metro applications shortcuts, but I wan to make a shortcut that I can put on my desk that actually opens the metro as if I had moved the mouse to the lower left corner of the screen and opened it from there? There must be a way?

1 create a text file and name it start.vbs
2. edit the file and paste the following code
Set objShell = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")
objShell.SendKeys ' ^ {ESC}.

3. save the file on your C drive and create a shortcut and put the shortcut on your desktop.
4. right click on the shortcut and change the icon to something you want, or you can create a custom icon, I did it by finding a windows logo on the web 8 and taking a snip of it.

5. put newly create a shortcut on the lower left corner of your screen and now you have an icon to get to the start screen, bypassing the hover bottom left corner.

  • All my desktop shortcuts all open the tray of D:\Recycle...

    When I start first to the top of my Windows 7 PC, all desktop shortcuts open the Recycle Bin. The Recycle Bin properties indicate that it belongs to the partition D:\.
    Other symptoms include trouble scrolling through emails and other lists (drag bar goes to the last point and won't set).
    I tried a lot of bugs (sfc, startup fill twice reinstall Windows 7 and uninstalled all unused programs.) I ran CCleaner and other Reg cleaners. Nothing seems to help.
    After 2-3 minutes, however, the shortcuts behave normally and the scroll function returns to normal.
    What process is active during the first 2 to 3 minutes and then closes?

    One for the record books!
    I found the cause of the wacky desktop shortcuts and it was so simple, I was almost too embarrassed to report it. I mentioned that any vertical scrolling page would always go to the bottom and do not stay anywhere else. In addition, by clicking a shortcut on the office always open the Recycle Bin.

    Well, I found that I could "fix" the problem simply by pressing the Page Up once. All symptoms cleared immediately. Have you guessed yet?

    The Page down key was stuck!

    Well, I get a fresh install of Win7 and clean a lot of junk out of my PC, so it's not a total waste of time (close, but not quite).

    Thanks to everyone who tried to help me. Your talents and your efforts have taught me a lot about Windows I would not have learned otherwise.

    As soon as I opened the Firefox Start Page, all my favorites have been posted on the left side. I accidentally hit something, and now all my favorites have disappeared.

    For your safety, you must do a lot of software updates. You may be holding back for some reason any. Let us know what it is because there may be a fix or workaround now.

    To update to the 19 of Firefox, you can use the "Check for updates" button here:

    Using multiple monitors by chance?  If so, this may surface this behavior.  If not, right click on your desktop and point of view.  From there, the options of the United Nations brand the "auto arrange" as the case may be.

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    -

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    -

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To do that click on start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    `

    When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

  • Shortcut to open the images in InDesign

    The shortcut to open an image in InDesign is Command-Option-double clickk. works well - except when you click on in the box of overlay in the text block or an underlying. Then the image will not open, even if it was previously selected and shows the blue handles and you double-click inside these blue handles. No matter if the image is in front of or behind another frame, priority is given in the text frame. What happens is: the text block editing window opens.

    Is it possible to have a keyboard shortcut, so that when you select a picture and then make some strikes, the image opens?

    Edit > keyboard shortcuts...

    The original edition... command is under the Edition Menu product area and has no default, but you can add your own. You will need to do a new custom set because you cannot change the default value.
