  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  I hope this helps. Good luck.

  Hi subhshy001,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Windows answers Forum community!

  Try this if you do not have

  Windows Explorer to create the folders and shortcuts in your document folder, drag and drop them on your desktop.

  If you have completed the steps and was not even useful,

  Follow these steps:

  Try to create a shortcut and sending it on the desktop.

  (1) open: Start Menu ,.
  (2) right-click: Internet Explorer icon .
  (3) select: send to > desktop (create shortcut).

  There should be a shortcut on the desktop .

  Make sure that the "show desktop icon" has a check against it

  OR

  Just click on the empty part of the desktop, choose new > then select the folder to create. Right click on this folder , select Rename it.

  If the steps above do not work then:

  You can scan your computer for malware.

  You can download, install and update anti-malware free of your favorite search engine and find malware.

  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.

  Hope this information helped!

• 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 opens the wrong file

  Hey guys, unusual problem.

  I have two files, then we'll call it A and B.
  The folder is located on a shared network drive and I have a shortcut on the desktop to him.
  File B is that an outdated copy of the file a. file B is on my office only, not on the shared drive.
  Somehow, the folder was lost. I can't explain this, so let's focus on what happened after having lost the file has.
  Without a file open, the shortcut on the desktop a file from A now opens file B.
  How? I know that you can manually change the path of the shortcut. It is possible that the shortcut automatically changed somehow, because of file B either has a copy of the file? That another person to access the computer outside of myself and I find it doubtful that she would know how to change the path of a shortcut.
  I appreciate any idea.

  It is possible that the shortcut automatically changed somehow, because of file B either has a copy of the file?

  I found that this will change if the file has and B files have the same name. Here's a test case, I just ran.

  I created a text document, Memo.txt.

  I placed a copy of the Memo.txt to a folder on the D: drive. In this file, I typed, "I'm on D:.

  I placed another copy of Memo.txt to a folder on the encrypted drive N:. In this file, I typed, "I'm on N:.

  I created a shortcut to the Memo.txt about N: by double-clicking on the file and choose "create shortcut". I cut and pasted this shortcut to remove it from the folder on N: and place it in the folder on D:. Now, the shortcut of N: was now in the same folder as the Memo.txt on d: I looked at the properties of the shortcut to make sure that the target field still contained the path to the folder on N:. He did.

  With n: unlocked and therefore accessible. If I double-click the shortcut, and he opened the Memo.txt on n. I know because the text file that displays said, "I'm on N:. I then closed the encrypted drive N: by restarting the computer. This fact: is not accessible. I double-clicked the same shortcut, and to instead open the Memo.txt on N:, he opened the Memo.txt on D:. I know because the text file that appears has said, "I'm on D:. In addition, I looked again on the shortcut properties and the contained target field now the path to the folder on D:. In other words, he had been replaced by Windows.

  I have Windows Pro 8.1. I know that in Windows XP, if the target of the shortcut has been moved, Windows would make an attempt to find the new location of the target. I suspect it's still done in Windows 8. And there not much to look at from a file with the same name as the target is located in the same directory as the shortcut. In this case, the difference is that instead of the target being moved, it was simply is no longer available because the drive is on, was no longer accessible.

• 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 :-))

• PS Extended CS6 shortcut on the desktop

  I have Windows 8, 64-Bit. I just installed Ps CS6 Extended (but did not have a Custom Installation - in order to have selected the option to create a desktop shortcut). Can someone tell me pls how now to create a desktop shortcut without doing a uninstall and then re-install? TY.

  A shortcut on the desktop should be easy.

  Just do a search for Photoshop CS6, open the folder and on the exe, right click, choose "send to > desktop (create shortcut).»

  The other idea is to open up Photoshop and when the icon appears in the taskbar, right-click and choose "PIN to the taskbar.

  It will be a click of a button from Photoshop.

• 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">

      </resources>
      <application-desc

  </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!
