  Hi JexterMaxim,

  1. what type of user accounts that you use?
  2. don't you log on as an administrator?
  3. don't you make changes to the agreement of the issue occur?

  When you install a program, you will need to select the installation option in particular only to user accounts. Not in user accounts. You can try the following steps.

  Desktop shortcuts are stored in one of two places:
  (a) in c:\Users\Public\Desktop. These shortcuts are shared and are visible to the user ever.
  (b) in c:\Users\UserName\Desktop. These shortcuts are not shared and are visible to the user.

  When you right click on a shortcut, and then click general, then you can see where this particular shortcut is stored.

  To make a shortcut of the group a) visible to yourself, do this method:
  a. drag the shortcut to the side with the right button of the mouse.
  b. Select "copy". You have now two seemingly identical shortcuts.
  c. delete the original shortcut.

Ideal for quick hide all open files!  However, I can't figure out how to get the desktop icon in my taskbar in windows 8.  Can anyone help?

  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.
