How to rename an application on Windows 8?

Original title: rename an application

I would like to rename some of the apps on windows8, (a stock app or that I have installed (like another anti-virus program). I can't find a way to do it.

See http://www.itworld.com/windows/308063/rename-tiles-windows-8

As long as you are talking about "desktop" vs Metro/modern apps, you can rename them in the Start Menu:

(1) tile right click / Start ads Menu

(2) location open file

(3) in the Explorer window that appears, note the path of the file - this is where your Start Menu shortcuts are (so you can rename other programs more easily while you're there)

(4) change the name of the shortcut

The new name should appear in the Start Menu in a few seconds once it is reindexed your change.

  • How to rename a webcam in Windows 7

    I have 2 webcams even and my pc will leave only 1 job at a time. They are the same thing with the same driver. I was told you can rename one of the webcams, but I can't do that in Windows 7.

    Can someone please tell me a way to rename one of them or a way to get two webcams at the same time working.

    It is not because they are named the same.  This is because each uses a pilot and one of these drivers can be loaded at the same time.  In other words, without great effort, can't do.

  • How to rename the application completely j

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone uses the correspondence Management Solution Accelerator and renamed their request for 'j' to something else.  For example, instead of the url http://< Server >: < port > /j /... it would be http://< Server >: < port > /NomMonProjet /...

    I changed the following files which are already reference 'j ':

    FSIApp\CreateCorrespondence\src\lcds-config\flex-config.xml

    FSIApp\ManageTemplates\src\config\dct-config.xml

    FSIApp\Portal\resources\security-config.xml

    FSIApp\Portal\src\com\adobe\icc\bootstrap\AuthorizationBootstrapper.java

    FSIApp\Portal\src\com\adobe\icc\bootstrap\URLRegistryBootstrapper.java

    I noticed that in the flexConfig that is loaded into the two CreateCorrespondence and app ManageTemplate that the pscmContext is set to 'j', so this must change as well.  Can someone point me in the right direction to change this?  Also, are there any other files that may be needed to make it happen and does not break the apps?

    See you soon,.

    K.

    Hello, Kristian,.

    You should try to change the references to 'j' in the following files:

    [...\SA_SDK_9.5\CorrespondenceManagement]\

    FSIApp\Portal\webapp\ClaimsPortal\pages\CreateCorrespondence.jsp

    FSIApp\Portal\webapp\ClaimsPortal\pages\HomePage.jsp

    FSIApp\ManageTemplates\src\config\dct-config.xml

    FSIApp\CreateCorrespondence\src\lcds-config\flex-config.xml

    FSIApp\Portal\src\com\adobe\icc\bootstrap\URLRegistryBootstrapper.java

    FSIApp\Portal\webapp\WEB-INF\web.xml

    FSIApp\Portal\resources\cm.properties [add property here ' pscmContext = / {context}'.] [For example, pscmContext = NomMonProjet]

    FSIApp\Portal\resources\security-config.xml

    However, I would say that it is only partially possible, because there are a couple of components that rely on 'j' as the root of the URL context, and therefore would not work if you change it.

    This is the Bootstrapper LCM Plugin (which is used to initiate the WMSC of LCM plugin) and ImportUtility (which allows to import an ACP exported on a target system). But perhaps you can live with that.

    See you soon,.

    Can I change the name displayed on the home screen?

    Hi Feklee,

    The only way to do it on Firefox OS is to bookmark again (we do not have a way to change the name after it has been bookmarked). You should be able to find the original link in your browser history or the best sites.

    Please use Firefox OS!

  • Impossible to rename the application

    Hi all
    I'm trying to rename the application using the application Manager 6.5 and unable to burst if an error cannot rename the application because it is locked to a user. I tried to find the locks by this user on the application and unable to find anything locked by this user. How can I rename it?

    Hello

    What you can do is really easy.
    (1) start Essbase in interactive mode
    (2) to the window of the agent (essbase process), run the DUMP that export the dry file in an ascii file.
    (3) in this file, you will find a section "locked objects."

    Then, ESSCMD, you can run the unlockobject command to release the locks.
    If Essbase is unable to remove the lock because the file is not present (deleted, etc.), you can create a new file with the same name before 'Retry '.

    Good luck
