In XP, create a shortcut by dragging the results in the generic Windows icon instead of the FF icon

Similar Questions

• Since the update of the 16 to 17, shortcuts to office created by dragging show generic Windows icon instead of the Firefox-page icon.

  During the upgrade of the FF 16 or 17, I can always drag the icon that is to the left of the url on the desktop (or even quick launch of XP, shortcuts to files, etc.) to create an internet shortcut to the current page. However, with 17 this method produces a shortcut that shows a generic Windows icon instead of a Firefox-page icon. Even if a generic Windows icon shows normally "no associated program," these always open with FF when double-clicked. But it does not look good. (BTW, all of the shortcuts created by this method in FF 16 or less preserved the FF-page 17 updated icon.)

  No idea why this has changed and how to fix it so that it looks the same as before?

  Pending the resolution of the present (and another question) I went back to 16 FF, and it works normally again. However, shortcuts that were created while I had 17 always display the generic Windows icon.

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

  Check that you have slipped n enabled for your Start menu:

  ·         Right click on Start Orb > click Properties > click on Customize

  Make sure there is a checkmark in Activate context menus and drag and drop

  If this does not help, you can try the following:

  ·         Go to the programs > Microsoft Office

  You should be able to drag-and - drop the icon there.

  Hope this helps

• How to create a shortcut for deleting the photos

  Every time when I want to delete a photo from my library of Photos, I confirm that I want to delete this photo. It is exactly 1 click or hit on the keyboard too. I was looking to create a keyboard shortcut for this, but I can't find the "right" of the menu command name. I thought it was 'Delete 1 Photo' but the keyboard shortcuts in the system preferences panel, I cannot type anything in there. Anyone know? And anyone know where I can find this command text so that in the future it can help me so look for other commands?

  See you soon!

  If you use the keyboard shortcut command + DELETE ⌘⌫, will remove pictures of moments politicians or any album without no questions asked.  This shortcut should already be defined.

• Create a desktop shortcut to open the (subway) start?

  I want to make a shortcut on the desktop to open the subway (Start Menu). I know there are ways to make desktop for metro applications shortcuts, but I wan to make a shortcut that I can put on my desk that actually opens the metro as if I had moved the mouse to the lower left corner of the screen and opened it from there? There must be a way?

  1 create a text file and name it start.vbs
  2. edit the file and paste the following code
  Set objShell = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")
  objShell.SendKeys ' ^ {ESC}.

  3. save the file on your C drive and create a shortcut and put the shortcut on your desktop.
  4. right click on the shortcut and change the icon to something you want, or you can create a custom icon, I did it by finding a windows logo on the web 8 and taking a snip of it.

  5. put newly create a shortcut on the lower left corner of your screen and now you have an icon to get to the start screen, bypassing the hover bottom left corner.

• How to restore the original interface of first Pro CC and drag the video to the timeline?

  I downloaded the trial version doesn't have the video and audio tracks on the mounting Panel. I tried to play to find, but it's what happened instead.

  

  Can I know how to restore the original interface?

  Also, how do I drag videos to the timeline when it doesn't have any audio or video track line that I can work with, unlike the CS6 version I was using?

  Thank you.

  Hi Erica,

  To restore:

  In the menu items, choose window > workspace > reset Workspace

  To add the video to the timeline:

  • Select file > new > sequence and create a sequence. Drag the video to the new sequence.

  or

  • In the project Panel, drag your video to the new article . This will create a sequence that best matches your clips properties.

  Best,

• Is there a quick way to create a shortcut on the desktop instead of drag?

  I didn't notice a way to do more than to drag the address on the desktop. It would be cool to have an option of menu keyboard shortcut or bookmark - so I can't resize my browser in order to have room for dragging to the desktop, then resize again in full screen. I use FF 29.0.1, win7 64-bit

  Thank you!

  There was formerly a context menu entry to create a desktop shortcut; This extension adds this new item in Firefox.

• Cannot resize firefox so I can drag and drop to create a shortcut

  I can't make my Firefox page smaller so I can drag and drop a web site to create a shortcut. I use windows 7. I have no flu when I point at the bottom right. When I use zoom the page itself re sizes but not the window. I just need to see a bit of my office, so I can create a shortcut.

  Hi limomitch, Firefox will remember the last 'normal' window size by saving in this file you deleted (which Firefox creates new). To switch between the normal and maximized window styles, you usually just double-click the title bar of the window, or you can use the middle (the one between minimize and close) button in the upper right corner.

  If you find that the 'normal' window size has increased too, and if the lower right corner is not visible, you can try Alt + SPACEBAR. It is a convention of Windows on the scale to display the window control menu. If the size is not gray, press arrow down once, then the up arrow key repeatedly until the lower edge of the window is in view. Repeat with the left if necessary and right keys. (If the size is dimmed, choose restore and that might be all you need).

• How to create a shortcut to the desktop as with IE?

  I changed my browser "Firefox" to "Internet Explorer and I would like to know how to create a shortcut to my desktop."

  You can drag the favorite icon on the left end of the address bar on the desktop to create a shortcut.

  You can also use an extension.

• create a shortcut on the desktop link when right click in Firefox

  When I use Internet Explorer and that I right click when I am on a Web site, there is an option to create a shortcut to this site on my desktop.

  When I use Firefox and I click right when I'm on a Web site, there is no option.

  I want to know how to insert this option in Firefox to do a right click for me.

  Here is the Mozilla help page:

  http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/creating%20A%20desktop%20shortcut%20To%20A%20Web%20page

  Drag the icon of the site (which is the symbol of address bar on the left) on desktop, and then rename the shortcut to your Web site.

  DeskCut module works, BUT it needs to be changed in the Option section after installation:
  DeskCut options
  A. name tab of the
  1. name of the Options file: generating the file name of the page title
  B. Path tab
  1 sets the path... Browse... Choose where to place the shortcut (usually on the desktop)
  [In Win7, it's C:\User\username\desktop ""]
  C. OK!

  Now, it should work!

  What a pain that Mozilla should have added a right-click feature "Create a shortcut" in Firefox!
