Shortcut Shortcut.Ink Refers To Is Unavailable, Viewed The Pictures Again
Aug 16, 2009
I downloaded some pictures from digital camera this morning and saved them on my desktop as I always do. Viewed the pictures & all was ok. Just gone to view the pics again and says the following: The drive or network connection that the shortcut (then the image number) - Shortcut.Ink refers to is unavailable. Make sure that the disc is properly inserted or the network resource is available and then try again. I have no idea what this means but deleted the pictures of the camera as I viewed them and they were fine.

On my x64 box, TFS power tools was conflicting with Office Communicator. So I blocked Office Communictor from the startup sequence. As I expected, at startup I would get a message "Blocked startup programs" with the option to "run blocked program" if I want to launch Office Communicator explicitly. Good.
Then I uninstalled TFS power tools, and decided to unblock Office Communicator, so it can run at startup again. Unfortunately, the Office Communicator app shows as "Permitted," but is still being blocked at startup.
In other words, I can't unblock Office Communicator. Vista says it is "permitted", but it is not permitted at startup. I tried disabling and re-enabling it, to see if it would clear up, but no good.
How do I force it to be unblocked so that it will run at startup?

I detest those shortcut arrows that get put on all the desktop icons. I used Tweak UI in XP to get rid of them but can't find anything that works in Vista. I tried Frameworkx that did absolutely nothing.

I am trying to create a shortcut to c:Program FilesMozilla KompozerKompoZer 0.7.10kompozer.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.

Every time I create a shortcut, usually by right-clicking on an executable and then choosing Create Shortcut from the context menu, the default path is always set to, for example, C:Program Files (x86)My Applicationmyapplication.exe. However, I already set my default Program Files and Program Files (x86) location to be in the D: drive. Nature of the Problem After installing Vista Ultimate x64, I installed TuneUp Utilities 2009 and from there, I set the default Program Files location to my second partition which is D:. I expected TuneUp Utilities to make the necessary changes to the registry. To make sure that no programs were left out in C:Program Files and C:Program Files (x86), I manually re-created the 2 folders in D: and then copied all the files and folders inside. I rebooted afterwards. Upon boot, my expectations toward TuneUp Utilities 2009 seemed to be correct because the default now points to D: (whenever I install 64-bit or 32-bit programs). I had no problems running the applications as well.
But a problem arises whenever a shortcut is made. It doesn't matter whether it was created by the installer itself or created manually. The target path always points to C: while the Start In path points to the correct one, which is D:. Whether it be in the Start Menu, on the Desktop, or in the Quick Launch menu, the same behavior happens. It's often a pain to edit the shortcuts manually- doing a right-click > Properties > change C to D > Change Icon > Apply > OK every time I install a new application or decide to create a shortcut for a certain portable app. I believe there's a registry entry that I can change so that the default Shortcut path now defaults to D: instead of C:.

Since installing IE8 RTM in Vista SP1 x86 I've been having some problems with internet shortcut icons not displaying correctly on my desktop. I've tried deleting and redoing them, tried using AM Deadlink to refresh my Favourites icons to no avail. They show normally in Favourites but show as a smaller version within a white frame on the desktop. This doesn't seem to effect all of them, just some.
I've attached two thumbnails to illustrate what I mean. The first one is the Canada Post item in Favourites and the second one is the same shortcut on the desktop. As you can see there there's another one doing the same thing for Newegg.ca. I think I am right in saying that it's not a case of rebuilding the system icon cache as that only effects system icons, am I right? FYI desktop resolution is 1680 x 1050 and I have the desktop icon size set to Classic.

This isnt happening with all the shortcuts but it is wasting space

How do I delete a desktop icon. Windows says that it can not find the file and will not delete it. I removed the program the way I should but it left the shortcut on the desktop and will not let me delete or move it. I've tried to change the properties , added sharing, and everything I can think of to remove the shortcut with no luck.

I have to switch back and forth between the two accts whenever I access TB forums. So, is there any shortcut that I can use instead of having to go to Start>switch accts, logoff, etc menu?

I have several programs that the UAC need my approval for. I have setup tasks for each with all the correct settings (Run with Highest Privileges Checked, etc.). After creating a shortcut to the link, I attempt to click it. For a few brief seconds, a CMD prompt screen comes up and says something about the file wasn't found. I checked your article to see if I could find a mistake. There wasn't one. I even created a new task using your tutorial, and still it doesn't work. I am wonder if this is a fix with SP1 (I have SP1 by the way)? Is there another alternative?

if you add a shortcut (to a networked computer, so you can copy files),if its off, it'll hang computer. I thought the prob was because I've got an internal card reader. So, I put an entry in the registry to hide them. BUT this didnt fix the hanging (thats how I found out having the computer off (the one I added under sendto as a shortcut, causes it). So, how would you fix this, without removuing the shortcut to the networked computer?

I'm new to this forum so please bear with me.. I recently went to Vista x64 and bought a new computer... Everything was fine till about 3 weeks ago... While I work on the computer, nothing out of the ordinary happens... (No problems)... when I walk away for awhile and come back, I click on a shortcut and the computer Freezes... I have to shut down the system to get out of it... Simply put; Vista Randomly Freezes... I've checked the logs to no Avail... I'm getting real irritated by this and I was hoping that someone might have a clue to what is happening.

I was trying to save a file in Adobe Reader, but typed the filename too fast before the "save as" dialogue box was fully loaded. As you can see below, my stupid document folder got renamed instead to "A". I've been searching and searching, but can't find a way to rename it back to my original username. Clicking on it still gets me to c:usersayzone which is good.

I want to clean up my desktop by deleting some shortcut icons. Each of the icons contains the directional arrow in the lower left corner. However, when I "right click, delete" on any Shortcut Icon, I am prompted: Are you sure you want to move this file to the Recycle Bin? I actually deleted several programs before realizing what I was doing. :mad: The wording I was accustomed to in WinXP: Are you sure you want to remove this shortcut ...* isn't offered to me. I'm running Vista Home Premium 64-bit SP1

new to Vista and ignorant to most things about it. I just bought a new hp laptop and had Camedia master 1.2 installed on my old desktop,it uploaded my photos from my Olympus camera and let me manage them. When I put the software disc in the laptop and installed the program,it looked like Vista was going to accept it, it installed in programsprogram files and when I clicked on the shortcut it opened. Then I got the red x box,saying invalid pathway.
Since I believe it installed right why the problem? is there any way I can correct this,without spending up to a 150 for new software? I opened the program right from program files and still got the same invalid pathway answer and it had to close the program. I have Vista home premium.

So I've had to replace my computer and am just getting acquainted Vista...
I'm running Vista Home Premium x64.
I loaded a program (Corel Painter IX) and placed a shortcut on my desktop... Windows has seen fit to place a little "Windows Security shield" over the icon. When I look at the shortcut's properties, the icon appears without the shield.
Why has it done this, and how can I address it?

#1 - Links points to My Pictures Location
I unwittingly set my Links shortcut to point to the same folder as My Pictures and for some reason I cannot undo it. If I open my Links, instead of just showing my shortcut, it also shows the folders in My Pictures. Although not crucial to ops, it is rather annoying to see duplicates on my folders in My Pictures.
I found the tutorial on resetting Personal Folders useful but it did not have anything on fixing this type of "merge." The registry entry for Links is just "&Links" which tell me nothing much.
Using regedit, I have managed to fix my personal folder including My Pictures. Only this Links problem persists.
#2 - Wrong icon for C:UsersMy_Name
Second problem --
When I go to the C:Users folders, instead of seeing the folder with my log-on name, I see the folder called DOCUMENTS.
I checked the registry entry for Personal and it points to the correct folder in an E: drive.
