  If the scan comes back clean, so I recommend doing a System File Checker too l to analyze your OS system files.

  To help resolve this problem, use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. open an elevated command prompt . To do this, click Start , click principally made programs , Accessories , right-click guest , and then click run as administrator .  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow .
  2. type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow (Yes there is a space after sfc) the sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions. This analysis do take some time to complete.

• 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.

• Problem correct launch of sequences shortcut on the desktop file

  I created a shortcut on the desktop that runs successfully a sequence file.  The icon I have chosen was "C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\TestStand 3.5\UserInterfaces\Full-Featured\LabVIEW\TestExec.exe".  The problem is the following:

  I have several set up desktop shortcuts to launch multiple sequence files.

  If the operator closes TestStand before closing the current file in the sequence, by activating another shortcut, TestStand opens with the previous sequence file loaded.  The file in the correct sequence is displayed in the ListBox on the left of the screen; However, the file of the previous sequence is loaded.  This will inevitably cause confusion with the operator.

  Any ideas will be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  2 options:

  1. tell the users to close the sequence when they are made by choosing File > close all files of sequence and executions.  TestStand remembers the last sequence which was open.  He re - opens there next time that TestStand gets run.

  2. change the source code of TestExec.exe close the file in sequence on farm.  Or do not remember the open movie file.  If you are using the full user interface, you want to look in the VI called Full UI - configure Application Manager.vi which is called UI - full Initialize.vi.  You will see a property with ReloadSequenceFilesOnStart node.  Change the enum to ReloadFile_All to ReloadFile_None.  Rebuild the exe file, and then deploy it.  You will have to look for it if you use the Simple graphic interface, but it will be the same property node.

  If you go with several it's more work for you, but then you don't have the problem of the operators running the wrong test on WEAR it wrong.  Option 1 is a matter of training.

• 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.

• How to add a shortcut on the desktop for streets &amp; 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 :-))

• When I save a shortcut on the desktop, I have 2 files.

  When I save a shortcut on the desktop, I have 2 files, the short cut and a second, the shortcut "files." If I delete the files, two shortcuts disappeared. Happened only a few months. Does anyone have a solution?

  I've been using Firefox. I click with the right button on the Web page, click Save as and save it on the desktop. I think that its code html in format "page"full Web", only other options are"html only", which translates to lose all the formatting and images,"text files"and"all files ". Thanks for the reply.

• JNLP file update does not upgrade the cache of the client (with the shortcut on the desktop)?

  Hello
  
  I have such a problem that the changes made to the JNLP file at the server level are not being updated the JNLP file at the level of the customer if the application is started from a shortcut on the desktop. In my real application I had this experience when adding a jar library to the distributed application on HTTP, but I realized the following example where the source code of a JNLP application (distributed in the local file system) has been changed.
  
  Global:
  In my example, I use the demo tree Dynamics [url http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/webstart/deploying.html] jar of starting Java-> [url http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorialJWS/deployment/webstart/ex6/webstart_ComponentArch_DynamicTreeDemo/DynamicTreeDemo.jar] DynamicTreeDemo.jar Web Application deployment. The assessment is done with java 6u26 to Windows XP.
  
  The steps
  < li > 1. Have a JNLP file with jar used (in my example at D:\jnlp-test )
  < li > 2. Start the application from the JNLP file (to create the shortcut on the desktop)
  < li > 3. Edit the JNLP file.
  < Li > - in my example, to update the base code to D:\jnlp-test2. Also copy the JNLP and jar in this directory.
  < li > 4. Run the application from the desktop shortcut
  < li > - 4.1 - at this point, you have to refresh the JNLP file to the cache
  < li > 5. The D:\jnlp-test directory remotely
  
  Results
  (a) after step 4, I think that put JNLP application cache (Control Panel-> Java-> Viewer...) must be updated to contain the new content (new code). BUT my cached JNLP file still contains the old content (in my example = "file:/D:/jnlp-test/" code base)
  
  (b) in step 5, that my candidacy should work properly from the new location of distribution BUT the problem crashes when trying to access the old location with:
  Unable to launch the application
  Error: D:\jnlp-test\DynamicTreeDemo.jar (Maaritettya take ei loydy) +("The path can't be found" in Finnish) +.
  
  My original JNLP (steps 1 and 2) file:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <jnlp spec="1.6+"
          codebase="file:/D:/jnlp-test/"
          href="dynamictree-webstart.jnlp">
      <information>
          <title>Dynamic Tree Demo</title>

      </resources>
      <application-desc
           main-class="webstartComponentArch.DynamicTreeApplication">
       </application-desc>
  </jnlp>

  Updated the JNLP file (after step 3, the code has changed)

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <jnlp spec="1.6+"
          codebase="file:/D:/jnlp-test2/"
          href="dynamictree-webstart.jnlp">

  What could be wrong with my JNLP files or y at - it a bug? [url http://www.coderanch.com/t/528570/JNLP-Web-Start/java/Do-jnlp-file-updates-itself#2455103] Updates Coderanch thread jnlp file talks about something similar occurs only when Java Web Start cache path contains white space?
  
  Best regards
  Touko
  
  Published by: user603338 on August 9, 2011 12:06 (corrected the link to Coderanch)

  The original shortcut should always point to the original code base. This is normal. In addition, I don't see how you can expect a JNLP installed (on the client side) to guess it's supposed to now recover the JNLP since a different code base!
