When I right click on the shortcut icon, my screen begins to blink and I have to do a Ctl/Alt/Delete to return to display system and monitor to normal.
* Original title: Steve M.
I have My Documents on my Windows 7 desktop. When I click the icon, an icon My Documents Shortcut.link then appears next to the My Documents icon. When I right click on the shortcut icon, my screen started flickering and I mus do a Ctl/Alt/Delete to return to display system and monitor to normal.
I tried to remove the My Documents icon, but who only 'pretending' in the file recycle. Of course, I don't want to totally delete the My Documents!
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thank you.
Although it is strange that the location of your documents is
C:\Users\Steve\Doc
Instead of
C:\Users\Steve\Documents
This result shows that the "My Documents" icon on your desktop is a shortcut and not the actual file with your documents. The icon on your desktop has a blue arrow, like this:
If you delete this icon, you should get a message like this:
As long as the 'shortcut' word is in the message "Are you sure", everything you delete is a shortcut and not your actual files... so go ahead and delete it. You can then create a new shortcut or just use the 'Documents' shortcut located on the start menu:

I'm a prisoner of the "new private window? Is it OK if I don't want that? God is going to punish me? It certainly looks that way.
I got Win 10 for 4 months and until yesterday, 11/10, I didn't even know about the 'new private window' and the flag purple now appears when I right-click on the Firefox icon. Someone tried to help her by suggesting new privacy settings. So I lost most of my desktop shortcuts but not the private window! I'll be back most of the shortcuts, but I'm still stuck with the purple flag company. I have a background of tech and only for this reason that I try to keep things simple. It is vital that, how did you before? Any help or clarification will be appreciated. Thanks for listening.

All the ' * .exe ' programs will not start by simply clicking on the shortcut icon. I need a right click and select "Run as Administrator" to get the program to run. By clicking on the left, a box opens, which says "Windows cannot open this file: file iexplore.exe (example)".

It was when I right click on the tab in Firefox I could use the option 'Move to the new window'. Now when I go down to this option, it seems it will work, but nothing happens. The other day I changed some options in Firefox, but I don't remember changing anything that sounded as if it would have this effect, and now I can't find all the options that seem to fix. Thanks in advance for any help.
Hello Beorn, probably the problem is an extension that is not working properly. Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.
(If you use it, switch to the default theme).
- You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.
Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.
Thank you
