Shortcut on the desktop for Windows Defender

Hello. I have Windows 7 starter on my netbook and want to create a shortcut on the desktop for Windows Defender. However, it does not appear as a program in the start menu and the option to display the control panel more big or small icons is greyed out (i.e., not available in starter edition), I don't see the program on the control panel or the other. The only way I can get to it is to type in 'Defender' in the search field in the start menu or the search field on the control panel. Although one of these actions will locate Windows Defender, they do not provide me the ability to create a shortcut for the application. I tried searching in Program Files on the C drive and found him, but did not know which file right-click on the folder to create a shortcut file. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it.

Second, Windows Defender is updated analysis scheduled around 02:00 every morning, but my computer isn't on then, I expect to do a scan automatically the next day when I turned the computer back on. He did not do that and always displays the last analysis as being the manual I did the day before. Is it possible to get auto-start if it misses its slot 02,00 regular?

Thank you very much.

Hello

Thank you both for responding: I did click right and do drag the thing like that seemed simpler and it worked: thank you. Are you able to let me know how to get the Defender to make an auto scan when I turn on the computer if it misses its slot 02,00?

Thank you.

  • Shortcut on the desktop for Task Manager, within the Task Scheduler?

    When I open the Task Scheduler, I see this...

    Task Scheduler (local)

    Event viewer tasks

    Microsoft

    Windows

    ...

    ...

    Task Manager

    I want to create a shortcut on the desktop for the entrance to the "Task Manager", in Task Scheduler. Is this possible? Keep in mind, I'm not looking for Windows CTRL + SHIFT + ESC Task Manager, I am looking for the task manager that allows me to see my scheduled tasks. Thanx.

    Instead of having to click...

    • Beginning
    • Administration tools
    • Task Scheduler

    Then, for in Task Scheduler, I develop...

    • Task Scheduler Library
    • Microsoft
    • Windows

    So I can finally, click on the Task Manager and see the tasks planned it.

    My goal is to have a shortcut on the desktop (or any other method) which will allow a 'reduced click' access for the final result to view the scheduled tasks mentioned above. Thanx.

  • How to add a shortcut on the desktop for streets & trips 2013 for windows 7

    Just installed MS streets and trips 2013, I do not see anywhere how to send a shortcut on the desktop. Tried to do a right click on the programs, but this option is not started.

    I don't have the application under test, but normally you right click on the exe programs (or registering in the program menu) and either "create shortcut" or "send to" and then "desktop".

    If the options are not there, your office, do new right click - shortcut, find your exe file of programs (the actual file you want to run) and and we should end up with a shortcut on your desktop to your program. (hopefully :-))

  • Cannot create a shortcut on the desktop for a Web site in the browser Firefox Tor

    I am a user of Tor Browser, and I love the interface of Firefox. According to my page, my Firefox browser is up-to-date. But for some reason I can't save shortcuts to office for a Web site. Whenever I drag the icon beside a Web site (variously a glob, a green bolt and other icons), I get a mouse icon of denial no matter where I try to put the web shortcut on the desktop. This happens even when I drag the bookmarks of my bookmark bar! My guess is that something is blocked in Tor allowing no shortcuts settings. Any suggestions on where the parameters of the shortcuts are in Firefox?

    Fred, all other modules worked well. I contacted the people of Tor, and they were unsure of what's going on. I've pasted their response below, but the short answer is that they have me just save shortcuts manually from the office whenever the Tor Button is active. Thanks for your help, you've been great!

    Drag events filtering and blocking the external application

    External applications can be induced to load files that perform network
    activity. Unfortunately, there are cases where these applications can be launched
    automatically with little or no user intervention. To avoid this,
    Torbutton installs a component to provide the user with a popup when
    the browser is trying to launch a helper application.

    In addition, modern desktop computers now preemptively look for all URLS in drag
    and events move as soon as the drag is initiated. This download happens
    independently Tor browser setting and can be triggered by
    something as simple as holding the mouse button for a little too
    time by clicking a link to the image. Filter us drag and drop events
    events of Torbutton before the OS downloads the URL contained events.

    You must open the location of your application and copy and paste as a shortcut on the desktop.

    Just swipe their EXEs on the desktop. When you release the mouse button
    keys, choose "Create shortcut here."

    IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND SIMPLE WAYS TO CREATE SHORTCUTS IN XP.

    What kind of shortcut?  FWIW I just click right on my desk, new > shortcut and it gives then the shortcut Wizard:

    cmd.exe /c echo hi & pause

    Then he called Test.

    It seems even easier that I remember XP.   For example do a right click of my new Test shortened reminds the complexity that someone just starting to create a shortcut could face.
