| | cannot create shortcut I am trying to create a shortcut to c:\Program Files\Mozilla Kompozer\KompoZer 0.7.10\kompozer.exe The window within which you create shortcuts says that this file does not exist! I am looking at that file! I have opened "command prompt" and cd to that subdirectory. question: Am I trying to fight UAC? I am *certain* that my spelling is correct. Tnx, Charles |

| | Re: cannot create shortcut Try these. Assuming you want the shortcut on your desktop. Navigate to the Desktop folder. Click File>New>Shortcut. OR Right click kompozer.exe. Create shortcut and cut and paste. OR Instead of typing the location, navigate to it in the shortcut window. ------- *Report back, please* "charles cashion" <cmcnuz@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:0MzLj.4364$3w2.4263@xxxxxx Quote: >I am trying to create a shortcut to > c:\Program Files\Mozilla Kompozer\KompoZer 0.7.10\kompozer.exe > The window within which you create shortcuts says that > this file does not exist!

| | Re: cannot create shortcut I do not normally top post, so I expect this will offend somebody... I clicked File>New>Shortcut on the desktop. Navigation to C:\File Programs\Mozilla Kompozer\KompoZer 0.7.10\ required some coaxing, but then I had a shortcut on my desktop. I first moved it to C:\Users\<username> Then I moved it to C:\Users\<username>\SendTo\kompozer.lnk new problem or observation... Vista will not allow a directory listing of C:\Users\<username>\SendTo\...

You should not create another folder with that name in a different location. To avoid any problems, use the one that is already in AppData\.. Btw, this folder is hidden, you will have to change the view options in Explorer in order to see it. Charlie42 |
