original title: send to option in vista

How can I send shortcuts on my desktop to Favorites folder. I could do this very easily by clicking and using XP "send to" and then office. Vista does not allow me to do. Am I missing something? Thank you

Hi whiz5640,
 
I have here a few steps you can try:
 
1. Type 'shell: sendto' in the dialog box RUN, and then press ENTER. It will open the folder "send to."
 
2. right click on a blank area in the folder and select "New-> text document. It will create a text file with the name of "new document texte.txt.
 
Rename this file and name the value "desktop (create shortcut). DeskLink'.»
 
3. is she. Now, you will get "Desktop (create shortcut)" option in "send to" menu.
 
I hope this information is useful.
 
Please let us know if you need further assistance.

  • How to remove an item from the Favorites folder in the library?

    I'm new to the movement and try to learn to use it.

    In the library is the favorite named folder. I spilled some items in there (moved from content folders, transmitters of particles or generating things) that I would like to delete now.

    I guess these things in the favorite folder are just aliases to the actual items, but I can't figure how to get rid of them.

    Highlight an item in the Favorites folder and pressing the delete key do nothing. Command + del also does nothing. Control-click about to bring up any option decision Trash. Drag the item out of the folder and the desktop does nothing.

    I also created a custom folder in the Favorites folder I want more, and I can't get rid of anyone.

    Can someone tell me how you delete something in the Favorites folder you want is more in there?

  • Is it possible to add programs to readers separated at the Run dialog box without putting a shortcut in the system32 folder?

    When I want to run something from the Run dialog box, I just type the name of the program.  For example, to use the command prompt, simply type cmd.  But some program I have to type its full path.  The only way around this is to put a shortcut in the system32 folder.  Only, I forgot that I put it there, and I often erase it as a kind of Trojan horse.  I don't like things like nonwindows randomly in my system32.  Is this in any way about this?  I put a shortcut in the %ProgramFiles%, but it seems random with a shortcut to chance here.  In addition, if the shortcut is located in a folder in system32 or %ProgramFiles%, it won't work.  Shortcuts in the %windir%\System32 too much work, but makes me more suspicious of my own files.

    This is precisely what concerns the environment variable "path".

    The applications that you want to be able to run in a directory on your disk to another.  If, for example, you have a dirve D:\, you could create a directory named D:\MyApps and place the executables in D:\MyApps.

    • Open the system properties (right click on my computer > properties)
    • Click the Advanced tab
    • Click the "Environment Variables" button
    • Scroll down in the "System Variables" box until you find the variable "Path".
    • Select 'Path', then click on change
    • Go to end of the text in the edit window, and then type a semicolon followed by the path to the directory you created for your applications.
    • OK your way out.

    Be careful when you change the path variable that you add only.  If you delete the existing path variable (or part of it), it is likely that something no longer works correctly.

  • Move the Favorites folder in the recovery file in internet explorer 9.

    I recently had to do a system restore on my Envy17.   I can't move the Favorites file to the recovery file in Explorer 9.   The recovery file has been created from Explorer 7.  I tried the Explorer 9 import function, but it does not work.  The import function is looking for bookmark.htm file that does not appear to be exist in the recovery file.  Can someone help here?

    Found a solution. Just use copy/paste to move files from the recovery to the Favorites folder Favorites folder. Sites Web de Microsoft never mentions this simple solution. Forums of HP's Support had the solution - search for 'Favorites '.

  • UAC Trust shortcut creates a shortcut in the wrong folder

    The first thing after installing windows, I suggest all of my folders profile on the second disc (although properties).

    Now, when I try to create a shortcut with UACTS it creates shortcuts in the default (% USERPROFILE%\Desktop) folder, if it exists.

    If there is no (for example I delete)-UACTS invites an error message: Please come on a 'name' for the shortcut and program "path".

    Windows 7 Ult x 64 Rus latest version of UACTS.

    I used a built-in method to move these folders: properties-> Placement-> Move (I'm not sure about titles, I have a Russian version).
    Each program works well with it.

    You can get the correct paths in the registry:

    It would probably be a solution in the next version. Thanks for your comments. Itknowledge24.com - follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/itknowledge24

  • Several shortcuts to the Applications folder

    Facts:

    -J' had originally installed Windows XP in bootcamp

    -J' imported in VMWare Fusion and deleted the partition boot camp

    Problem:

    -As of late, I'll have several shortcuts for an application in the Package of merger of VMWare (see image)

    -J' even had microsoft Word opens as "Microsoft Word - Windows XP 4.  I don't have a VM installed and a copy of Microsoft Word.

    Question:

    Is having multiple instances of an icon agreement?  Is there a way to reset the icons in the folder applications/package?

    Thank you

    Steve

    That's what I would do to try to solve this problem...

    1 stop, suspend, the goal of the Virtual Machine.

    2. uncheck the 'Allow your Mac to open applications in the virtual machine' box sub-applications shared on the sheet of sharing in the settings for the target of the Virtual Machine and then close merger.

    3. now delete the application folder that is in the package of the target Virtual Machine, and then empty the trash.  Note that it is safe to delete the applications folder and support within the whole of the VM of the target, as it will be recreated automatically once the shared Applications settings are set on "allow your Mac to open applications in the machine virtual '.

    4. start the merger and then check the box "Allow your Mac to open applications in the virtual machine", and then start the Virtual Machine to target.

  • Can I import bookmarks of IE of the Favorites folder

    I had a problem that has corrupted IE10 and IE11 and they start is no longer. I tend to switch between IE and FF. I have an old set of bookmarks in FF, but would be updated the most recently used in Internet Explorer. I found them in a folder subfolders of c:\users\stuart\favourites\(lots), but if I import via FF using the option "to leave a browser", it doesn't matter nothing. The records I want are not html, they are records containing the url files.

    Is it possible to delete my old set of FF bookmarks and import this game far FRO these records?

    Thank you

    Maybe this extension is able to access your IE Favorites.

  • Windows Mail does not send to Mail in the sent folder

    This morning, my Windows Mail is no longer my e-mails sent in the sent items folder. E-mail send OK, and I'm getting the small arrow icon purple on the projection of graphics Inbox mail I answered. It is simply not save copies of the sent emails.

    To my knowledge, nothing has changed since yesterday and I have installed any new software. I checked the settings of e-mail Options and is checked for "backup copy of messages sent in the sent items folder. Just to be sure I unchecked, then checked again and press on apply, but it did not help.

    Any thoughts? I REALLY need copies of all of my sent mail. Is there a maximum number of sent messages, I can save maybe?

    (BTW - I'm on Vista Ultimate Edition with Service Pack 2. I use AVG Free for my anti-virus, but nothing has changed there either, as far as I know.)

    Before going through the stages of the reconstruction of the base of messages, try to repair the database with my Windows Mail utility and see if that fixes the problem.  Seewww.oehelp.com/WMUtil/ also make sure AVG is not scan e-mail because that could be the culprit of this issue.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  • "Show Desktop" shortcut on the Quick Launch toolbar

    So in trying to fix the "My Computer" shortcut on my QuickLaunch toolbar, I accidently deleted the shortcut "Show Desktop".  I found bugs to take him back, but they use all the old icons of xp/vista/etc.  They don't also create a tab to change the icons like 7.  It's kind of picky, but I liked the new icon for the office and I would return to this shortcut.  Someone help me out here?

    Thank you.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not send new text of the messages folder

    I have a Bold 9650.  I have, unfortunately, updated for the new OS and now I am unable to send texts from the news of my Messages folder.  I can send an email and response to text, but when I open the menu and click on 'Another new message' there is nothing there.  It's a dead link.  I have to go in my contacts folder, compose and send text, then close to everything in my Contacts folder.  Is this a bug or something put in place bad?

    This new OS is horrible.  He got all these bells and whistles, with none of the previous operating system usability.

    Don't give up quite yet, Stacie.

    OS 6 is a solid operating system with many advantages over the OS 5.  If you have recently upgraded to it, your phone can not be used to it and she can act a little.  This is normal and with a few tweaks here and there, we can get it just how you want.

    A battery pull will probably solve this problem.  Remove the battery while your phone is on, then replace it.  Return to your Messages folder and see if the option appears.

    If Yes... Yay!  If not... let know us and we will try something else.
