Ok, so i have a few questions. instead of making thread for each. i am posting them hear.
1. like the title says, i want to know how to create one shortcut to launch multiple programs( Two or three programs at once)?
2. My second question is, is there a way that i pin a folder on taskbar and when click on that icon.it expand( only icons and their name in small space) like a fan( pop in and out). just like the Rocketdoc.?
3. And at last. how can i prevent a program from appearing in taskbar. like i have installed a skin for WMP and i like it to stay on the desktop.
The issue is, that multiple games, such as Total War Shogun, Darksiders 2, Assasins Creed Revelations, Sleeping dogs, simply refuse to launch. I click on their respective icons, and absolutely nothing happens. For some of them the mouse turns into a circle for a couple of seconds, and that's it.Other games, like League of Legends, The Witcher 2, Civ 5, and Dota 2 don't have this issue. It's just a major bummer because I spent a lot of money on these games hoping that they would work on this newly acquired pc.

I had initially installed windows x84 on it, and as I upgraded to x64, nothing changed.I have updated all of my drivers (I'm not exactly sure if I updated my sound card, since I can't really find it) using Driver Reviver, as well as the respective sites of the major components (such as my motherboard and my graphics card), but again, no changes.I have turned off UAC.I have attempted to run all of them as the administrator and with different compatibility settings (ranging from all the xp service packs to the vista service packs) I have reinstalled the games multiple times.My computer runs The Witcher just fine on high settings, I don't think my computer is too weak to run the games.
I often have to create Shortcuts to executable code. I used Shortcut Extension - Remove or Restore to get Code: SED.exe instead of the Windows 7 default Code: SED.exe - Shortcut as name of the newly created shortcut.
But I would prefer to have just 'SED'. Any way to do this automatically?
I think it might matter that I do not hide extensions ['Hide extensions for known files' (Option in Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options... -> View)].
AVG stopped a program DWU.EXE from loading but since then I can not launch apps via the desktop or by directly clicking them unless I right click and load as admin. All virus scans (AVG, Windows malicious virus remover tool and Ad Aware) come out clean.Do not want to reload Win7 or restore if I don't have to
I can't open any programs in Windows 7 from my HP laptop. I can't get online or launch .exe files. When I try to open anything, I get the spinning circle by the cursor but then nothing happens and it disappears. So it looks as though it's about to launch a program then doesn't. The IT guy at work told me to download Malwarebytes and run it but the same thing happens - I click on it and get the little spinning circle then it just goes away. And everything I read online says to download this program or that program but I can't even get online to do that. I've tried to do all of this in Safe Mode (Networking), also. Same thing - acts like it's about to launch then nothing.
My computer recently prompted me to do a virus scan and after rebooting, it erased all the files and programs on it. I read some posts stating to "unhide" all the folders in windows explorer to help the situation. That seemed to restore alot of programs, but I still can't launch certain programs off the Start Menu nor can I see their shortcut in Windows Explorer. I'm able to open files using those programs from Windows explorer, I just cant open the program itself from the Start Menu. The folders of those programs on the Start Menu say "empty" and no program is displayed.
I'm running Windows 7 Utlimate 64bit, just started happening , when I click a folder or program on my desktop won't launch the program only will show in the THUMBNAIL TASKBAR on bottom and I can see the preview whats opened when I hoover over the program to launch as well NOTHING HAPPENS did I disable something I don't think
I have a HP-Pavilion WE225AA-ABU p6324uk with MSI IONA 1.0 M/B and 3.20 gigahertz Intel Core i5650, 32 kilobyte primary memory cache, 64-bit ready processor with 4gb RAM and 750gb HD, running Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601) Up to about 4 weeks ago, it ran fine, nice and fast, then it started to take a long time to launch programmes, even longer to close them down, I often have to use Task Manager to close them and quite often I get programmes 'not responding' and hanging.
After the latest windows updates (9-22-12), now I cannot launch any program, including outlook, IE, norton or quicken. I can bring up an explorer window, copy and move files, and use the search funtion. I am out of ideas. System restore is useless.
I am not all that very good at computers but I do know how to create a shortcut of a Website to my desktop. Recently though, I cannot open the Website icon from the desktop and a window message display: "Unable to open this internet shortcut. The protocol "http" does not have a registered program".
I have a microsoft keyboard with multimedia keys. I have assigned one of the multimedia keys to the Instant Viewer feature from Intellitype Pro. I like this feature and think it would be more useful to put it on the mouse button but I have searched and cannot find any .exe for the Instant Viewer to create a program shortcut. I was thinking I could get around this by creating a shortcut to the multimedia key instead and then assigning that shortcut to the mouse. This is not the same as pressing Alt + Tab or Ctrl + Alt + Tab. The Intellitype Instant viewer covers the whole screen when activated while Alt + Tab just gives you a thin horizontal strip in the middle.
I'm needing to create a shortcut, but the context menu that normally lists 'new shortcut' is missing. If it were just a shorcut to an exe or something I would just copy and past link, but I'm needing to create a shortcut for 'RunDll32 DwmApi #105'. But I can't seem to do that. I haven't made any changes to my system, so there should be no problems.
I want to create a custom shortcut and by custom I don't mean the way you usually create shortcuts at, but how you create it from scratch. Like open notepad and write down a script to make it work like an ordinary shortcut.The reason I want to do this is because I have a large collection of music and for the moment I have to open, first my music directory then choose the artist directory then the album directory and finally the playlist file. The way I want it is instead of getting into the album directory I would just have a shortcut in the artist directory that will open the playlist and start the music. And I would even want to have a custom icon on the shortcut.Now you will probably say just create a shortcut like you would normally do and then change the icon. DONE!No the thing is that when I re-install my computer or if I get a new disc with new drive letters or just move my whole music directory the shortcuts will be corrupted cause windows own created shortcuts has the complete file path like "D:DokumentEgna SkivorDeadmau5For Lack Of A Better Name�0 For Lack Of A Better Name (Playlist).m3u". The way I want it is just "For Lack Of A Better Name�0 For Lack Of A Better Name (Playlist).m3u"
