• Desktop shortcuts for items on the network sometimes drives disappear from the Office

  I have a number of shortcut icons on my desktop Windows 7 (RC1) to the network elements - some are files on a NAS server, some are mapped as the floppy drives, etc. However, Windows 7 seems to sometimes simply remove all without notice, and I have to recreate all the shortcuts to my NAS articles again.

  I wondered at first if this may have been because Windows sometimes would start until all my network devices is available, but when that happens, he scored just correctly icons with a red x to indicate that he could not find them at startup, and as soon as the NAS is available then shortcuts work fine.

  However at random intervals, seven of these shortcuts simply disappear from the desktop. All other shortcuts and icons are very good and the mapped drives are always present in my 'Computer' screen - it's just the focused on the NAS shortcuts on the desktop that disappear.

  No idea why this is happening?

  If you create shortcuts from desktop to removable storage locations such as NAS icons will disappear from time to time because Windows 7 has a built in scheduling the task to clean up unused or broken links.

  To prevent the task to run, you must disable the task in the task schedular: Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-Task Scheduler
  Expand the tree in the left pane until you get to the Task Scheduler Library-Microsoft-Windows-diagnosis.
  In the right pane, right click on the named scheduled task, and then click on disable.

• By dragging a shortcut from the desktop to a dock change the target.

  I use Rocket Dock and have Microsoft Word, Excel, Power Point and Internet Explorer, with Firefox and Quickbooks shortcut icons that reside there.  They all work very well.  The shortcut for Apple iTunes also lives there and used to work as well.  After the latest iTunes software update, I replaced the shortcut existing in the dock with the new, as I always have.  By clicking on the icon in the dock, I get a Windows error message stating that the program cannot be found: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe.  Of course, the program is not in Program Files (x 86), it is in Program Files as C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe.  Verification of the objectives of the iTunes in the Start Menu and on the desktop shortcut icons, they are the two C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe.  I tried to recreate the icon repeatedly in several different ways with the same result (replaced by Program Files (x 86)).  It would be nice to have this feature as it used to.  Thank you very much.

  I can't imagine why RocketDock change your properties of the shortcut.  You can try using this path instead?

  %ProgramFiles%\iTunes\iTunes.exe

• My desktop shortcuts keep disappearing!

  Windows 7 Professional has just been installed on my PC at work. Twice now my desktop shortcuts are gone after the return of the display in standby or sleep mode. Both times seemed to be a Monday afternoon, and it's only the shortcuts to the files on the network drive.

  Is this some type of regular cleanup task that can be off?

  IE Windows 7 automatically deletes your icons without your permission. This is considered a "function".

  Although I personally killed just the maintenance department to deal with this, I asked myself - perhaps change permissions of NTFS security on shortcuts, so that none of the users/groups have access writing/editing (EM right click and select properties from the context menu), would prevent the service to play with them?

  You're just jealous because the voices talk to me: P

• Registration of the desktop shortcuts

  How can you save these before conversion from Vista to Windows 7? Can I put all this in a single folder and drag it to the Documents?

  Hmm... Maybe I can get some use. These are mostly shortcuts to pictures on Web sites. I am a photographer, and every time I find an image that is one I would like to save for the ideas I quickly clik 'Save as shortcut' on the desktop so I have now several hundred. But perhaps because these shortcuts are pointers to external addresses I can always use them. Do you think?

  Yes, you should be able to always use them.

  And a suggestion for you: If that's what they are, instead of
  cluttering up your desktop with them, why not create a folder just for
  them and put them there. Then put just a shortcut to this folder
  the desktop computer.

  Do what I suggest ways that it will take an extra double-click to get

• the menu desktop shortcuts and start to return a *.lnk not a win32 application invalid

  shortcuts on the desktop and start menu retrun all error "*.lnk not a win32 application valid."  applications work at the opening of the program files folder, but when I send the request to the computer desk or crerate a shortcut and drag on the desktop, I get the same Win32 error when I try to open them from the desktop

  You can try the solution from this article: fixes for Windows Vista file association (I know, it's for Vista, but it contains exactly the same values in the registry for .lnk)

  But I'm confused because this issue should only concern the specific account, if this account contains more extra value in the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.lnk\UserChoice (this path should not exist in the registry). I mentioned only the key main ".lnk" with two subkeys: "OpenWithList" and "OpenWithProgids", I understand that you do not have this key "UserChoice"?

  ...

  If the solution above does not work you can always try: difficulty of a user profile is corrupted

• Desktop shortcuts won't open firefox after an update of the player software "shockwave."

  I can go to my email and click on the links to web pages open firefox, but not the office shortcuts. This happened after being invited to install this software while trying to watch a video on facebook.

  The URL bar is also known under the name of the address bar and the address bar, and Firefox he calls the "Awesome Bar" when combined with the search bar.

  None of this is complicated - you enter the address of the site you want to visit, for example, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/in the URL bar. Firefox actually fills the http or www for you. If you want to know what URL, you enter "URL" for Google or similar search bar to search for this term.

  If a right click > open does not work on the desktop shortcuts, you need more expert help.

• How can I add missing icon to the desktop shortcuts

  Question too much techno for me... I have several desktop shortcut icons... For most of those who appear as the Mozilla Fox, which is fine, but unfortunately, there are too many icons in Firefox, and I wanted to change some REAL WEB SITE icon, or the favicon. How will I know how to do this? Thank you!

  It is not a matter of Firefox making it simple - the Windows operating system controls the desktop icons, so with 3rd party Windows applications automatically use the application for the shortcut icon, but it is possible to change the image of what you want.

  If you want the image of the Web site that the site to use for the URL bar as a shortcut on the desktop icon to a Web site:

  1. Define the shortcut on the desktop.
  2. Find and save the image you want to use for this shortcut.
  3. Then right click on that shortcut, then open properties > shortcut on the shortcut menu for the shortcut on the desktop, then use "change icon...". " and "Browse... ". " your hard drive for the image you want to use for the shortcut on the desktop.

  Insofar as find and save the Favicon of the site, see the screenshot below.

  1. Locate the icon on the Info Page > media tab and click on it once so it is highlighted, then view this picture in the preview window of media down and also check the Dimensions 32 x 32, if the image is not a picture of Type X-ICON.
  2. Then use the button Save under to save this image - name which has saved something unique, as (for example this forum) mozilla - favicon.ico image then you can tell him apart from any other favicon.ico image you may have saved or save.

  If you want to use your own choice of an image, you can convert the image into an image to favicon.ico here.
  
  http://Tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/
  
  When you create a favicon.ico for use as a desktop image, make sure that you select the option merge with a 32 x 32 desktop icon on this page.

• Software Distribution Service 3.0. my wallpaper, all my documents, my videos, my photos, my desktop shortcuts, etc. all gone. has had to do a system restore. How can I avoid this in the future?

How can I avoid this in the future?

  Software distribution service 3.0 is a system restore point, not an update.

  When an update is installed a SDS is created.

  To check the name of the update, go to the Microsoft Update Web site and check your update history, search for the date, that the error occurred.

  Also make sure that your system is clean:
