Right-click on the shortcut and choose Properties. On the shortcut tab.
What does say in the target?
You say "Windows says it cannot open it", but please quote exactly
the text of the message you get verbatim.

I can't begin to describe it, firefox opens Web sites and I don't know why
Please HELP I've ever had problems with this browser that I use almost exclusively. Now, last week, I'll have nothing but.
I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. Once again, I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox after it seemed to be going haywire. I set how I want it to look, and I want the toolbar to show, the "file, edit etc." and I usually don't have problems finding how to do that.
But yesterday, those who have disappeared and I use them too much and I don't know what happened.
So after I uninstalled and re-stalled, that took care of it.
BUT now this browser when I open, I open a new tab, which should bring a blank page, it goes to the last site I've been. I have not defined to do so.
(1) anyone know how to stop this?
(2) it opens to the home page IF I click on firefox, but a new tab to do exactly this.Why is this happening? That is my second question. Can anyone remotely be tampering with this? How would that happen, if so, and how to I guard against it? I DO NOT let this save passwords. I don't let any browser do that. Last, my email on my phone worked just fine until Friday morning, the last time it synched. Now I can't get emails on my phone because it says "password changed" -- what the f****? I didn't change anything, I am getting my emails on my notebook just fine, I have a pin on my phone so I can't fathom what is happening. This NEVER happened with my windows phone. I put in the password, and that was that. No issues. That strays from Firefox, but it is an overall cause of problems of changes etc. that are making me very concerned. Yes I have macafee security. LAST if someone had remote access, such as a tech with a company, and you end the access can the remote access ON THEIR END be re-connected?
THANK YOU MUCH in advance for the help because of firefox and no indication on the other.

: One of my subfolders disappeared, and I don't know why. What can I do?
Have you checked the deleted items? This is where he would go first.Check the Recycle Bin and the storage folder of OE for a .bak for the missing folder file. Post back before trying to restore.Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer.

After a long work, I learned that I'm unable to download programs such as Adobe Flash and Microsoft Security Scan. In fact, they do not enter the folder C:\USERS\CLAUDE\DOWNLOADS\---mais they may not be recognized by the operating system (SYS 7) because for some reason any access is denied. I looked at the book and find that Claude file is locked. I don't know how it happened. I tried to see how to unlock but again without success. Can you help me?
Thank you
Hi Claude1112,
Looks like you can't access the download folder. I'll help you with this problem.
1. have you made changes on the computer recently?
2. what security software is installed on the computer?
3. have logged as administrator?
Method 1.
Start the computer in safe mode and check if you can access the downloads folder.
Advanced startup options (including safe mode): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
If the problem does not occur in safe mode, then proceed to clean boot state.
A clean boot to test if any element of service or third party application startup is causing this issue.
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: Once you have finished troubleshooting, follow step 3 in the article to start on normal startup.
Method 2.
You can run the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.
Microsoft safety scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Warning of Security Scanner: there could be a loss of data while performing an analysis using the Microsoft safety scanner to eliminate viruses as appropriate.
Method 3.
I would like to create a new user account and check if the problem still persists.
Create a user account: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows7/Create-a-user-account
If the problem does not occur in the new user account, you can transfer the files from the damaged to the new user account by using the article user account "difficulty a user profile is corrupted.
Difficulty a user profile is corrupted: http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile
I hope this helps.

I rec would be a msg telling me my FB acct was to be terminated. I went to all the FB help pages and couldn't find any place or anyone to answer my question of "why?" There is no confirmation for the cancellation email or anything else. I ran my McAfee security scan / AT & T and changed my password. Someone help me please to know what is happening. Is it a fake? I never have or never will abuse Facebook or any other site.
you will need to contact Facebook.
It is my hypothesis that the message you received was a fake, looking to scam you by providing your login information by clicking the links in the e-mail message. It is called Phishing.
If that were true, only Facebook support can help you.
