• All my desktop shortcuts all open the tray of D:\Recycle...

  When I start first to the top of my Windows 7 PC, all desktop shortcuts open the Recycle Bin. The Recycle Bin properties indicate that it belongs to the partition D:\.
  Other symptoms include trouble scrolling through emails and other lists (drag bar goes to the last point and won't set).
  I tried a lot of bugs (sfc, startup fill twice reinstall Windows 7 and uninstalled all unused programs.) I ran CCleaner and other Reg cleaners. Nothing seems to help.
  After 2-3 minutes, however, the shortcuts behave normally and the scroll function returns to normal.
  What process is active during the first 2 to 3 minutes and then closes?

  One for the record books!
  I found the cause of the wacky desktop shortcuts and it was so simple, I was almost too embarrassed to report it. I mentioned that any vertical scrolling page would always go to the bottom and do not stay anywhere else. In addition, by clicking a shortcut on the office always open the Recycle Bin.

  Well, I found that I could "fix" the problem simply by pressing the Page Up once. All symptoms cleared immediately. Have you guessed yet?

  The Page down key was stuck!

  Well, I get a fresh install of Win7 and clean a lot of junk out of my PC, so it's not a total waste of time (close, but not quite).

  Thanks to everyone who tried to help me. Your talents and your efforts have taught me a lot about Windows I would not have learned otherwise.

• Why all my keyboard shortcuts use the 'Alt' key instead of the ' CTRL '? I use Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0.1.

  I recently downloaded Firefox 5 and noticed that all my keyboard shortcuts by default using the 'Alt' key instead of the 'Ctrl' key (so, for example, open a new tab is Alt + T instead of Ctrl + T).

  I noticed that this applies even to copy and paste in Firefox (Alt + C and Alt + P is the only commands that work).

  No idea why this is happening? I am running Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0.1.

  I had this problem. I found that a roaming profile directory has been installed which contained a user.js file in which changed the hotkey of CTRL ALT.
  I deleted the profile folder a name randomly in c:/Users / [myuser] / AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles and then I stuck to that of c:/Users / [myuser] / AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles.

  This bad user.js file was some other parameters, including the definition of the user agent string
  "Mozilla/5.0 (X 11;" U; Linux i686; en-US; RV:1.0.0; (Salut, maman) gecko/20020604 "

  The user.js file is (or similar to) those listed here: https://www-archive.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html

  I can't understand what you wrote. English is not my 1st language.
  Do I inderstand correctly that your icons on the desktop do not work? You have clicked on them and nothing happened?
  If so, it is possible that your icons are corrupt. Here is a tutorial on how to rebuild your cache of icons:

• Windows 7 - all the desktop shortcuts have disappeared

  OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (Build 7100 evaluation version)

  I was using my computer tonight (normal use, nothing happens out of the unusual, without errors or problems etc.). I shut down the system to go for dinner but later when I got to use again, I started it and connected but were none of my icons on my desktop. I got about 26 icons, 4 included shortcuts 'system' to the computer, the user files, network, trash.

  When click with the right button on the desktop, the option is there to add a shortcut, navigation and selecting a file results in nothing, no shortcut is visible. When I go to my desktop to users home directory, in the following location: "C:\Users\loggedonusername\Desktop" most of the shortcuts is visible here (including those above, I added that resulted in anything on the desktop) and I can add more within this directory, but they also do not appear. The 'system' ones (computer, user files, network, trash) still show as checked in the menu of desktop customization, unchecking, reticking, change theme and other options does nothing to restore them on my desk.
  Icons/shortcuts on the start menu are fine (visible and functional) - just nothing I try seems to show those on my desk. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  PS - I did a full system scan with the AV, nothing, even with malware/spyware scanners software. I also did a scan with Windows SFC - audit was 100%, no violation error / integrity.

  Most likely a minor bug with the CR. After execution of the RC for several months I am now facing two minor problems myself with the Explorer shell... (1) the window 'Opens' is enabled preview pane and no matter what I do, it is not off and (2) I had to rebuild my library because they had all kinds of mix upward on the folders they were supposed to point to (my library of music made for my photos, pictures sharp documents downloads pointed to a nonexistent drive, etc.). The good news? The RC is just the RC and is only temporary :-) Jonathan Matthis aka "7test" on MSN QnA

• 3 shortcuts open with a single click... possible?

  I have 3 shortcuts on my desktop, I have to open every time I'm about to do some work. and it takes so long... so is it possible that I can make 1 shortcut associated with each of them?

  So when I click on this special shortcut, all the other shortcuts I want to open at the same time.

  Is this possible?

  would be very grateful for help!

  Hi ByronC,

  Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

  Looks like you need customize shortcuts on the Windows 7 computer.

  Unfortunately, we have not these options to create a special shortcut on the Windows 7 computer. However, it is possible, if you create a Bat file that launches applications by a simple click. To create a file beats and collect more information on this operation I suggest you to send your query to the MSDN forums.

• my pc CPU running at 100% for all the programs I opened / what is the problem and how to solve?

  my pc CPU fan runs very strongly & the processor running at 100% for all the programs I opened. DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS A VIRUS IN THE PC WAS WORKING FINE A FEW DAYS AGO. How can I solve this issue?

  Hello

  You did changes to the computer before this problem?

  Step 1: Check if the problem persists in the clean boot state.

  From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

  Reference:
  How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  1. click on start and then click Run.
  2. type msconfig and click OK.

  The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

  3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
  4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

  Step 2: Also, look for error messages in the event viewer. If you find error messages after return the exact error message so that we can help you better.
