• How to create a shortcut for all users during installation

  Hi people,

  We have a desktop application that is distributed with Java Webstart and works on Win7 machines. Initially, users all connected using a connection by default, so creating shortcuts was not a problem. Now, because of new networking strategies, each user has his own connection.

  The problem is that the shortcut to the application is created in the user profile (for example "C:\Users\JohnDoe\", so that other users in the same machine can not run the application unless he or she installs the application again.)

  Is there a way to create this shortcut for all users using JNLP API or configuration in the xml file?

  If anyone has need of the solution: during installation I save the jnlp file in a directory accessible to all the world and then start the application using "javaws path\to\file.jnlp". More details in How to create a shortcut for java webstart available for all users on Windows 7?-stack overflow

• How to create a tile of charms in Windows 8

  I am a user centered on the mouse on my laptop. The screen is not touch sensitive. It is too big. I like the flow when I can point and click. The action of 'slide' with the mouse is not natural. I also have a monitor extended to my right and that gets in the way suddenly. So, I would like to create a shortcut to the charm of the 'search' and the other to the sidebar of charm and the two pins for my bar page and start task.

  How can I do this? Where are exe files for which I have to create shortcuts?

  Thank you.

  PS: I have already created shortcuts for shutdown and hibernation.

  Stu4948,

  You are genius, can share you how you created these shortcuts for shutdown and hibernation.
  While I know, I don't know where and what is the Windows Shell file to search for, but I know that the shortcut key for the search.
  Press
  Windows + C > charm bar
  Windows + Q > Search Apps
  Windows + F > Search Files we metro UI.
  All the best.

• How to create a shortcut on the desktop to msn

  I'm doing new Vista loaded as user friendly than our previous XP.  Need help to create a shortcut on the desktop to msn, so everything we need to do is click the butterfly icon to connect.  Also need to know how to download the msn toolbar.  Thank you!

  Hello

  MSN toolbar
  http://www.Microsoft.com/toolbar/

  Loading of the toolbar can make the icon.

  If you wish to make your homepage of MSN, and then when IE is started it will take you to MSN.

  You can also make MSN Favorites page in IE - then go to your Favorites - right-click on the favorite MSN
  then go to the desktop - Right Click and PASTE the SHORTCUT.

  I hope this helps.

• How to create a shortcut on the desktop?

  desktop shortcut

  where can I get the shortcut on the desktop

  I might have misunderstood your question entirely.

  A longer sentence with a development could avoid this.

  With nothing good to go on, my answer would be... you must create it.

  Example: create a shortcut on the desktop of Windows Media Player...

  Start button > all programs > scroll down the list to find Windows Media Player > right click it > click send to > select desktop (create shortcut).

  A Windows Media Player shortcut is now on your desktop.

• How to create a shortcut on the desktop to window 8.

  DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE A BOOK CAN BE PURCHASED FOR WINDOWS 8 BECAUSE I CAN'T FIND SIMPLE WAYS TO CREATE SHORTCUTS IN XP.

  Moved from feedback

  Original title: OFFICE SHORTCUT WINDOW 8

  IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND SIMPLE WAYS TO CREATE SHORTCUTS IN XP.

  What kind of shortcut?  FWIW I just click right on my desk, new > shortcut and it gives then the shortcut Wizard:

  cmd.exe /c echo hi & pause

  Then he called Test.

  It seems even easier that I remember XP.   For example do a right click of my new Test shortened reminds the complexity that someone just starting to create a shortcut could face.
