• Are there ways to create keyboard shortcuts in Windows Explorer?

  Hello

  My OS features:

  Windows XP

  Professional

  Version 2002

  Service Pack 3

  So I do not know when Microsoft has implemented it (maybe?), but I was looking for a way to create a combination of shortcut keys which would act as the 'Alt + arrow up' in the newer versions of Windows...

  If your are unsure what I mean (explanation below):

  In more recent versions of Windows, for example, when you use Windows Explorer or when you're on IE and that you want to save a file using the "Save AS" function to 'Browse' to a place, you can use the combination of 'Alt + arrow up' key to go back one level in the current window/folder.

  I know, in Windows XP Explorer, there is a button on the "Standard toolbar" makes this exact function, but it's so much more convenient to use the keyboard shortcut to do this.

  Does anyone know if a way that I could implement this in Windows XP?

  Thanks in advance,

  Matt

• How to create a shortcut to desktop on Windows 7, like I did in Windows XP?

  In XP Pro, I created a shortcut on the desktop and pinned it to the toolbar. He was terribly helpful because I had several shortcuts on my desktop I've used often throughout each day. If I could remember how I created the shortcut to the desktop in XP Pro I could figure out how do it again to 7, but which is perhaps where I'm stuck - I don't remember. Perhaps the first question is whether a shortcut on the desktop can be created and pinned to the toolbar in 7? So if it's possible, how do we? All suggestions, ideas and comments that all care to offer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, K.

• Unable to create the shortcut on Windows 7

  I seemed to have developed a problem with the creation of desktop shortcuts and/or shortcuts in any given folder

  .

  Normally, when I create a shortcut

  , I right click on a blank on either the desktop or in a folder, select new > shortcut, after which the shortcut dialog box Assistant allowing me to enter my information to auto open. This time it did not.

  So I tried another method by clicking on file

  > New > shortcut and still, no dialog box or wizard.

  The only thing that has

  changed on my system in the last 48 hours is installing Malwarebytes, malware removal software. However, I uninstalled since then, but that did not solve my problem.

  I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit

  , with 4 GB DDR2.

  Any help or suggestions you can give me remedy the situation would be greatly appreciated

  . Thank you.

  Respectfully

  Hey John,

  Another user with the same problem reported success in repairing the file association for its types of LNK files.  To do this test, go to the following Web page.  Scroll down (to half way down the page) to find and click on the link for LNK.  Open the file that downloads and run the registry script and see if it solves the problem:

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html

  Alternatively, you can try the system restore to roll 'back' in time to 48 hours.  This restoration will cancel the changes made to the system files and the registry changes, but will not affect of your personal files, emails, photos, documents or anything else.  The restoration of takes about 2 minutes and you can cancel it (or choose another date to return in time for) if he does ' t solve the problem.

  If you are looking for a good anti-malware program that is compatible with Windows 7, please let me suggest one made by Microsoft.  Windows Security Essentials is a product AntiVirus and antimalware low impact that stays away, is not slowing down your system and never requires a renewal fee to get updates.  I love it and recommend it to everyone.  Do not forget to remove all existing antivirus/antimalware program, you might have before installing a new one: http://microsoft.com/security_essentials

• How to create a shortcut on the desktop to window 8.

  DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE A BOOK CAN BE PURCHASED FOR WINDOWS 8 BECAUSE I CAN'T FIND SIMPLE WAYS TO CREATE SHORTCUTS IN XP.

  Moved from feedback

  Original title: OFFICE SHORTCUT WINDOW 8

  IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND SIMPLE WAYS TO CREATE SHORTCUTS IN XP.

  What kind of shortcut?  FWIW I just click right on my desk, new > shortcut and it gives then the shortcut Wizard:

  cmd.exe /c echo hi & pause

  Then he called Test.

  It seems even easier that I remember XP.   For example do a right click of my new Test shortened reminds the complexity that someone just starting to create a shortcut could face.

• Cannot resize firefox so I can drag and drop to create a shortcut

  I can't make my Firefox page smaller so I can drag and drop a web site to create a shortcut. I use windows 7. I have no flu when I point at the bottom right. When I use zoom the page itself re sizes but not the window. I just need to see a bit of my office, so I can create a shortcut.

  Hi limomitch, Firefox will remember the last 'normal' window size by saving in this file you deleted (which Firefox creates new). To switch between the normal and maximized window styles, you usually just double-click the title bar of the window, or you can use the middle (the one between minimize and close) button in the upper right corner.

  If you find that the 'normal' window size has increased too, and if the lower right corner is not visible, you can try Alt + SPACEBAR. It is a convention of Windows on the scale to display the window control menu. If the size is not gray, press arrow down once, then the up arrow key repeatedly until the lower edge of the window is in view. Repeat with the left if necessary and right keys. (If the size is dimmed, choose restore and that might be all you need).

• create a shortcut to folder

  I want to create - from inside my exe - a shortcut to a folder. I found the Forum an another post 'Create shortcut through the program' which refers to the WINAPI and the code in the example (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776891%28VS.85%29.aspx). When I replace in this example code CLSID_ShellLink to CLSID_FolderShortcut file to a folder, I get an error. The compiler does not know CLSID_FolderShortcut. (There was not such a message of error with CLSID_ShellLink).

  Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

  Or someone has an example for creating a file Windows lnk for a shortcut to a folder?
