Windows 7 desktop shortcut target changed to one of the programs that I installed on my computer
I have a Windows 7 computer, about 2 years. My goals of desktop shortcut changed recently to one of the programs that I installed on my computer. I can't go to programs and make a shortcut on my desktop which works. They all change to 1 program I installed however is the appropriate program for the shortcut. I can open all programs in Windows Explorer, so I know that the programs are there and they work. For example, when trying to create a shortcut on my desktop to burn a DVD, the target of the shortcut change in this 1 program it is for a digital camera. But I can access the DVD software via Explorer. What can I do to fix this? Thank you!

It's very annoying. Is there a way to secure the parameters desired permanently?My guess is you want: Windows > workspace > new workspace to establish a personal arrangement of panels and other elements.
After you set up the workspace with the panels you want in the setting you want, use the command above.
You can restore this workspace if, at some point you rearrange panels, etc.

I tried to install firefox, then I change my web page. It reported a script error when loading. The program runs, but not right so I removed and tried again with the same result. It runs in the safe is no no not sure what it is.
Now I can't run add it / remove programs in the Control Panel, it will be no fill. I can leave this mode and run what seems normal.
Thanks John

1. the Add/Remove Programs list is empty?
2. you receive an error message when you access Add/Remove programs?
3. do you still receive error loading Firefox?
See the Microsoft article below and run them the fixit tool available, check if it works.

How to change the programs that load when Windows starts
In simple terms... How to change the programs that load when Windows starts? Because my boot time is slow in arriving at my login screen!
Download and run the "Autoruns" from Microsoft Sysinternals freeware:
< http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902="">
It lists all programs that start at startup and allows you to disable it by simply removing a check mark. This makes it easy to reverse in case something goes wrong.

You may have two problems:To resolve the problem of speaker, check your speaker if it is disabled, enable it. Go to control panel, sounds. On the playback tab, click speakers to select, and then click set as default. Buttons-click apply then OK to save your settings. If you do not see your speakers, then right-click on the box, on the shortcut menu that appears, click on 'Hidden devices' and 'Show disabled devices' putting a checkmark in front of them.

permissions changed on one of the partitions on the hard disk
Some time ago I had to restore my computer to an earlier version. and for some reason, the permissions changed on one of the partitions on the drive hard to the point that I can't change anything EITHER and I don't know how to get back to full access.
Former title: modified permissions
When you follow the guide on this page, you can set the owner to yourself, as long as you are signed in under an administrator account. However, this will not work if the file or folder is encrypted.

-At the time, I did something to where when I open a file in photoshop, is no longer a single window, now it is two storage ones. one for the program itself, and another for the actual file how to return it where it's a window without having to be full screen mode? I managed to go a few times like this, but right now it's really annoying me. Help!
Just drag the small window up just under the toolbar, you will see the area highlighted, and when you drop the file should anchor.

One of my programs, observation of the BSE market stopped working after I got updates for my Windows XP today (03/07/2010). BSE is the Bombay Stock Exchange and I got BSE mKT Watch free program from the Bombay Stock exchange website and it is very important to me.
Uninstall the updates that you have obtained on 03/07/2010 and see if that solve the problem. If so, then install updates one at a time to see what update stopped the program run.
If on the other hand, the program is still defective, then this is perhaps a problem with the program itself.
Please investigate the above and post back with the name of the update or if, in fact, it is the program that was the cause of the problem. TaurArian [MVP] 2005-2010 - Update Services

I can right click on some of my desktop icons and click Start to get the program running, but not for all. The window that opens tells me to choose a program I want to open the file. I don't know why it does this. It all started yesterday. Some programs like itunes will still not open. A small window pops up that says: Application not found. Help!

I have windows 7 ultimate works correctly. I want to install windows 7 arc gamer edition. I m using the new copy to install from dvd, he is well until the installation of the updates but the installation finished, it displays error windows could not update the configuration to start the computer. not installing and it rolls supports everything. Please help me solve this problem
original title: windows 7 gamer editionDownload of software on these sites can be very risky, because the origin of the files are usually edited and its quite possible that they could have injected malicious code in it.
Windows 7 Gamer edition is not a developed Microsoft or affiliated with the product, what appears to be a customized image of Windows 7 that authors customized to remove or add Windows components, which can also be very problematic.
You use something that no one can help you consider he has probably been reverse engineered and probably injected by a malicious code like spyware (keyloggers, rootkits, worms, viruses). I suggest you stick to Windows 7 Ultimate, this is the most complete edition of Windows 7, anyone can have.
