Another shortcut problem
herojoker:
Hello,
unfortunately I have a problem with all my start menu shortcuts: Not a single one is working when having "Always launch shortcuts directly instead of resolving links" activated.
Example: entering "Minesweeper" without the quot. marks into the search field, I get the start menu entry as result.
Neither pressing Enter nor double clicking the entry nor choosing "Launch and stay open" in its context menu will run it.
Running it directly from the startmenu is ok.
The same applies for all other shortcuts in the startmenu (not only executables).
I attached an example shortcut, perhaps this will help you.
mouser:
well done for finding the option that makes it work for you.. it's not entirely clear to me why this happens to some people.
d4ni:
In your example shortcut the problem seems clear; the Target is set to C:\Programs\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe (nLite? I renamed Program Files to Programs as well ;)), while the Start in points to
F:\VideoLAN\VLC
mouser:
nlite might be the cause.
herojoker:
Erm, no. The target is F:\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe here (I downloaded the .zip, extracted the .lnk and looked at the properties).
I guess somewhere in the link %PROGRAMFILES% is used.
BTW: No, I didn't use nLite but created my own winnt.sif.
FYI: Currently I have C:\Windows as Windows directory, D: as swap drive, F: for applications, H:\Dokumente und Einstellungen as the folder for documents and settings (I guess "Documents and Settings" is the english version). E: for installation (setup) files, G: for games and I: for downloads :D
FYI2: No, it's not Vista but Vista Inspirat with QTTabBar and QTAdressBar.
