• How to create a shortcut to desktop on Windows 7, like I did in Windows XP?

  In XP Pro, I created a shortcut on the desktop and pinned it to the toolbar. He was terribly helpful because I had several shortcuts on my desktop I've used often throughout each day. If I could remember how I created the shortcut to the desktop in XP Pro I could figure out how do it again to 7, but which is perhaps where I'm stuck - I don't remember. Perhaps the first question is whether a shortcut on the desktop can be created and pinned to the toolbar in 7? So if it's possible, how do we? All suggestions, ideas and comments that all care to offer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, K.

• I have more than one partition on my hard drive, how to create a shortcut to a particular drive from the desktop?

  I fitted with a 1 TB drive to my macbook, then partitioned several times, all good so far, everything works.

  I use two connections, staff and work. My 'work' connection I have one partitioned drive named "work" which I use as an archive / storage for all work related data, far from any current activity. How to create a shortcut for just this partition to 'work' on the desktop?

  I tried Finder > Preferences > general - show these items on the desktop, hard drives of ticks. But it shows then all partitioned drives.

• 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

• Urgent: how to create a shortcut with a relative path?

  I put a set of files and folders nested on a server on a network location.  (Use of office machines Vista; I don't know that the server is running.  The files are a text file and two Office 2007 files).  Users will copy this set-up files on their computer (there is a program of VBA macro in a Word document, they need).  They need tomorrow (Friday) and the shortcut path gives me fits!

  The hierarchy looks like:

  MainDir
  File.txt
  SubDir1
  Shortcut to the Word file
  SubDir2
  Word file
  Excel file

  I don't think even the paths associated with the shortcut until I looked a little deeper.  Because I put all the files and folders together on my computer, when I did a drag - move in the folder on the server, the target properties and start in the shortcut always pointed at my computer!  So now, I'm afraid that a user copy this on their machine will have a shortcut that points to ~ my ~ computer, instead of the file on their computer.

  I deleted the shortcut located on the server and creates a new one from the Word file in the directory on the server.  Better - I think - but it still points to the location of the server.  And it is even more likely that, when the user opens the shortcut, it will try to open the file on the server, vice the file on their computer.

  How can I create a shortcut to this Word file that will pick up the relative path from around where to reside?  I can just click > properties and change the target and start in paths?  Or do I need a VBScript or VBA?

  I have to get this done fast!  A kick - in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

  Hi Ed,

  It is not possible to create a shortcut with a relative path.

  You can try the following allows to bypass and check if it helps:

  Create a shortcut to cmd.exe running the start command to open the current directory. Then set the MDC in the

  The shortcut properties.

  a. make a new shortcut to: cmd.exe /c start.

  b. now right-click on it and get the properties of the shortcut (shortcut tab).

  c. the shortened full path must have been set to this:

  %windir%\system32\CMD.exe /c start.

  d. set the directory of "start in" (i.e. DLG) to be a relative path:

  (Example for a shortcut on the desktop)

  ...\SendTo

  e. click on "change icon...". "and set" look for icons in this file: "to: %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll and press ENTER.

  Standard folder icon will probably be in the lower right.

  f. now you can copy this file and simply change the "start in:" to make new related shortcuts directory.

  NOTE: The above steps are just an example, so try this at your own risk. And check if it works.

  There is no API that gives access to the shortcuts or convenience keys. You can display information to the user how to configure something like this.
