Hey, Dynamite !
Thanks so much for that ... what a 'dynamite' solution. It's so easy. I don't know how you people know all of these things ! But one last thing if you can help me - I've just switched over to Mozilla/Firefox from I.E., and now I cannot open my Hotmail from Mozilla/Firefox. I log in, it goes to my 'Inbox' page, but when I click on an Email letter to open it, nothing happens. I can't even go into 'Drafts' or 'Delete' or anything.

I cant add any icons to my desktop

I did have a utilities folder and stickies as icons on my desktop but i just noticed that today they're gone. So i went to finder and looked at the desktop from there and both are in that folder I just can't move them to the actual desktop. anyone know what is going on? thanks

Ditto here. 'circle with slash' symbol whenever i try to put icons on the desktop.
first discovered the problem when i tried to attach a file to an email. When i clicked on the desktop in the side bar it would not open. All the other shortcuts to documents, download etc. worked fine. Next I tried opening the desktop in a finder window. Now it gets really weird. I click on the shortcut in the sidebar and the Mail program opens up. It acts like I had attached my desktop folder to an email. Tried many different ways to get my desktop to open but none were successful. I don't know what I would've done anyways because there were no icons on the desktop. Finally I tried right-clicking on the desktop folder when it appeared in the email. I selected 'show package contents'. Tah-da! There were my desktop files with the added folders 'quick look' and 'contents'. I was able to copy my folders to my documents and open them with no problem. I am still unable to move files onto the desktop and the desktop folder stills opens in mail. at least my files are ok. I'll try deleting the desktop folder and restart.

Removing shortcut icons on the desktop

I have a shortcut for something on my desktop and I want to delete it. Drag to trash? I didn't know if that would erase the actual application.
Thanks

If there is tiny arrow that indicated the icon is a shortcut, and you are sure that the actual application is installed properly in your application folder, when you drag that to trash and empty trash, it will only delete the shortcut, not the application itself.
Just don't empty the trash if you not sure, and try to find the application and launch it, if it launch properly, then you can empty the trash, if nat, drag that back from trash and put that to your application folder.
Good Luck.

Add image icon not on widgets option pop up?

using muse version 4.1

Refer to the following post that explains the difference between a Composition and a Slideshow widget that should clear any confusion you may have in regards to the usage of these two widget types while also providing a reason why there isn't an "Add Images" option for a Composition widget.

Desktop shortcut icons change to Adobe after new install ...

Hi All -
Thanks in advance for your understanding if this has already been covered but after searching, I can't find a solution to my problem which very well may be something very simple. Btw, I'm a Vista user.
After installing Adobe Reader 9.xx or even an older version of 8.xx, many of the shortcut icons on my desktop change to the (white/red center) adobe icon with access to that program then unavailable as an error message comes up saying Adobe cannot access that program.
Anyone have any idea what I've done wrong or how to fix? After an uninstall of Adobe, the correct shortcut icons return with access working fine.
Thx in advance for any suggestions/fix -
Will in So. Cal.

not sure how comfortable you are editing your Registry. Please do a back of the Registry before you do the following:
1. Launch Notepad by clicking on Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad
2. Enter the following into Notepad:
Windows Registry Editor Version 6.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe\OpenWi thList]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe\OpenWi thProgids]
"exefile"=hex(0):
3. Click on the File Menu and select Save As
4. From the Save as Type drop down select All Files
5. Change the File Name to Exe.reg
6. Save the file to the Desktop and then close Notepad.
7. Double-click the Exe.reg file. Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, enter the password or provide proper confirmation.
8. Click Yes, and then click OK in response to the registry prompts.
9. Restart your Computer
10. You should be sure to delete the Exe.reg file after resolving this issue.

When I start firefox through shortcut icon on desktop, the message comes that Windows cannot find C:\...\jqsnotify.exe

When I start firefox through shortcut icon on desktop, the message comes that Windows cannot find C:\...\jqsnotify.exe . Tried to search the file through Search also but could not find the file.

That is the Java Quick Starter, a couple of options for you:
# Open the add-ons manager (in the Tools menu select Add-ons)
# In the list of Extensions, click on Java Quick Starter to select it, then click on Disable
When you re-start Firefox that should stop the error.
The second option is to re-install Java. You are using an old version of Java so it is recommended that you install the latest version, available from http://java.com/

If Firefox is not the default browser is there anyway to create an "Open with Firefox" right click option for internet icons on the desktop??

When internet icons on the desktop are right clicked and Firefox is not the default browser, is there anyway to create an "Open with Firefox" option in the right click menu? If not you should create one in future versions.

You will have to create a copy of the Firefox desktop shortcut and add the URL to the target line if you want to open such an internet shortcut with Firefox.
A normal internet shortcut will always open in the default browser.

Website desktop shortcut icons appear as blank white

My desktop shortcuts are plain white and do not show the correct icon which most websites provide. The shortcuts have been produced by dragging the (typical) Globe icon from the address bar whilst using Firefox.
Icons produced the same way whilst using IE do show the icons correctly.
I have tried the following:
Ensure that FireFox is the default browser.
Right click shortcut and try "Change Icon" but the only icons listed are generic MS ones.
Delete iconcache.db
FireFox / Options / Content / Advanced / Allow pages to choose their own fonts YES
Reset FireFox to default, and then checked all of the above again.
Changed screen resolution from default then back to default.
Re-named GDIPFONTCACHEV1.DAT which was automatically replaced by iconcache.db by the system.
OS is MS Windows 7 Professional.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Inbetween each check I have closed FireFox, re-booted and re-opened FireFox.

You can check for issues with the Windows icon cache and try to rebuild the icon cache.
# Open the Task Manager (Shift+Ctrl+ESC)
# In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
# Open the file picker via "File > New Task (Run)" and click the Browse button.
# Type or Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local (%LocalAppData%) in the File name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
# Select the IconCache.db file and use "Delete" in the right-click context menu to delete the file.
# After the IconCache.db file has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process via "File > New Task" to get the desktop and Taskbar back.
The IconCache.db file is a hidden file, so make sure that you can see hidden files.

Thank you cor-el. I have tried what you have suggested, and also tried re-naming another file in the same directory GDFONTCACHE1.DAT which I beleive has a similar function, but none of these combinations will produce an Internet shortcut icon.

To create a desktop shortcut icon for the application for a jar file

Hi
I have created a jar file for my application. when i double click this jar file, the application opens.
What i want is--
Instead of user clicking on the jar file, my application also has to create a desktop shortcut icon.
If the user clicks on the icon which is on the desktop the application should open.
Please suggest me.
Thanks in advance.

Please suggest me.>Launch the application using java webstart. A webstart launch offers things like a splash screen, automatic updates, and desktop integration in the form of desktop shortcuts and program menu items. If the launch file specifies icons, they are used for the shortcuts, otherwise a generic icon is used.
For a comparison between a sandboxed webstart launch and a plain app., try the [Text Width Checker|http://pscode.org/twc/].
While the TWC can run OK within the security sandbox, many applications need to be digitally signed and request extended permissions, to do what they need to do.
STBC is an all-permissions webstart launch.
Edit 1:
And for one that definitely suggests desktop shortcuts (I usually avoid them, in favor of a menu item only), try the sandboxed [demo of the PrintService|http://pscode.org/jws/api.html#prs], which prompts the user to choose.

How to use a website's favicon as the desktop shortcut icon on FF/windows?

I've seen related questions on this forum but none answer my question. I am a developer and the website I am working on is for kids and students. Previously, we gave instructions to parents and teachers that they could drag the favicon to the desktop to get a shortcut to the right page - and the shortcut icon was our favicon image (our logo). This made it easy for kids to find the right icon on their own.
We now find that the dragged shortcut icon is the icon of the default browsers on that machine. I've seen suggestions for how I can change this on my own computer but I have not seen any way for me to fix this for my users - I am dealing with users that are busy and not technically-knowledgeable. I can't ask them to change their about:config settings or download the logo separately and right click to set the icon of the shortcut to the logo. These are not solutions for me.
IE does this action automatically and Firefox used to do it automatically. Please help!

Sorry, that doesn't solve my problem. Please read the question more closely - I want my USERS to be able to do this without changing their configurations. My users are public school elementary teachers and parents. I can't ask them to toggle any settings - I'm looking for a way that my users can do this on their own.
Thanks

Syntax of the JNLP file (web start) for JFX to allow desktop shortcut/icon?

I'm having a hard time getting this to work. I'm using NetBeans v7.1.2. First of all - the resulting .jnlp file comes with the applet, as well as the application specification. The classloader is different in both of the cases from what I've seen.
<applet-desc width="800" height="600" main-class="com.javafx.main.NoJavaFXFallback" name="jwsapp" >
<param name="requiredFXVersion" value="2.0+"/>
</applet>
<jfx:javafx-desc width="800" height="600" main-class="jwsapp.Main" name="jwsapp" />
What I did was edit out the applet part - now there is no entry in the "Type" of application in the javaws cache, it's simply blank. And it's still launched as an applet (judging by the console trace). Now we have "<jfx:javafx-desc", instead of application-desc? What does that affect? Is it safe to just fallback to 'application-desc' (then the type is properly detected)? I haven't been able to find any info on this whatsoever.
Shortcuts.. I have Java 2.1.1 installed and this:
          <shortcut online="false">
               <desktop/>
          </shortcut>
does absolutely nothing for me. The shortcut never appears (even though this addition to .jnlp was designated by NetBeans). Moreover, how would I go about attaching icons to this shortcut?
Does anyone have a working .jnlp example, that is actually able to allocate a shortcut with a predefined icon on the desktop? Thank you.

It works fine for me.
I'm using latest FX samples and latest 7u6 on Mac OS X.
Tested with slightly modified version of BrickBreaker.jnlp that includes
<shortcut online="false">
<desktop/>
</shortcut>
and the shortcut is always created to me.
Could you please try the latest 7u6 build?
If it's still reproducible, please file a new bug at http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/
and also could you please attach an example to reproduce the problem?
