Adding icon to start menu

hi frndz,
Just I want to know dat, if i need to add my program to installed program how to do? and want to add my program into start menu also.

This is Windows you're asking about, right? Typically you just configure your installer to do those things. If you're doing your own install, then you use whatever Windows APIs exist to do them. Although adding something to the start menu is just a matter of creating a shortcut file in a particular directory.
At any rate the question is nothing to do with Java. It's a question about Windows. So you should really look for a Windows forum or help site.

Mail Icon from STart menu has wrong user info

we set up the new 400 pavilion slimline pc, and see an incorrect user name in the start menu. first question is how to change that. next, when we click on the Mail icon, a different user name appears (what appears is username and password request info that was sent from my work pc to this home pc as a means of testing and practise for the homeowner to access mail) it's like the home pc took over my work username info and installed it in the Mail icon set up!
in sum, how can we change what first appears as an incorrect user name, and set up the correct user name on the Mail icon prompt. the home owner can access and get mail, so that works fine but we added the comcast account link into 'favorites' folder as a means to connect into her mail. we naturally want to make this easier by just selecting the Mail icon off the Start menu. thanks! tc17

No Icons in Start menu after the Installation of 9i

Hello,
unfortunately the installation program of developer suite 9i did not create any icons in my start menu. is there any way of installing them manualy using the installer ? or can somebody just send me them (the complete icon set including discover, reports, forms and so on...) to this email: [email protected]
Thanks in advance
regards

The icons are contained within the executales. To create an icon for Forms, just select to create a shortcut for the Forms ifbld90.exe file and this will have the Forms icon. There is a folder in the Explorer that contains all program icons that are accessible from the start menu. Just drag and drop your short cut into it.
I would suggest to rerun the installer if not already done.

How to SQL Server icons in start menu (Win Server 2012 R2)

Hi Folk's,
I have an installation of SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition on Windows Server 2012 R2. The installation was successful with the exception I have no SQL icons in the start menu - so I can't run the SQL Server Management Studio without going and looking
for the executable.
Does anyone know how I can re-generate the icons. I have tried doing a repair but this did not work.
Regards
Andy

I deleted the virtual machine and did a clean install and got the same issue. SQL Server 2012 SP1 Developer Edition does not install the icons in the start menu on Windows 2012 R2 (it works fine on Windows Server 2012).
In the Search menu if I type in SQL it just comes up with the SQL Server Installation center.
I have checked via the installer and via the discovery report mentioned above and all features are recorded as being installed.
However, I note that the Management Studio executable is missing (and likely so are some of the others).
Hi AndyW2007,
According to your description, we need to verify if you have install SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition successfully, you can check the setup log in the following folder.
-- C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Summary.txt.
--C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log\<YYYYMMDD_HHMM>\Detail.txt
If installing well, but the icons does not show in the start menu, I recommend you can create the lnk from the following installing location.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\Ssms.exe

No FP icon on start menu

Problem with Flash installation. I’ve reinstalled several times. Install successful. It’s icon also shows up on control panel list. But icon doesn’t show up on Start menu program list so program can’t be run.

Flash Player is a plugin and doesn't show in the Start menu. Ir runs in your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari or Opera) The standalone Flash Player is only available as a component of Flash Professional.

Skype for Business not updating icons on start menu - Using OCT for Lync 2013 deployment

We're currently deploying Lync 2013 to out fleet using the OCT to customize where the shortcuts are created.
What we are finding is that the Skype for Business Patch does not update these icons. It only updates the icons if they are in the default location (no OCT).
Is there a standalone Installer for Skype for Business we could apply a TRANSFORM to? Or some other method of updating all icons startmenu, taskbar etc.
Thanks

Hi Alan Dooley,
Have you tried to create a new desktop shortcut ?
In addition, you can try to follow the FAQ below to rebuild the icon cache.

HT202731 my imac goes to homescreen but no icon or start menu

my iMac boots to blank homescreen.could someone please help..running osx10.6 8

Hello,
At this point I think your best bet is to take it in for servicing at the local service center.
As for your data, I think odds are that it is still in-tact. The type of failure you describe sounds more like a failed logic-board or possibly the power supply (improper voltage / low-voltage).
Most likely it's a failed logic-board. But, the power supply can cause these symptoms as well.
Neither would mean that your hard drive is bad. It's possible that it is, but it's not an automatic definite.
If it were only the hard drive that failed, then you'd get the grey Apple screen with a flashing question-mark.
So, what I would do, is request them to fix the computer. But, I would put a stipulation on it that requires them to call you if they are going to re-format or replace the hard drive.
This way you'll know in advance if they are going to erase your data. You could then decide whether to pay them to archive it onto another media or back it up for you, or just let it go.
Explain to them that you have information you are concerned about saving. And, request them to at least let you know if their repair process is going to require them to do anything that might erase the hard drive.
I think that's about the best you can do at this point.
I hope this helps.

Hi Zargar,
>>Using server 2008 R2 and the clients are Windows 7 Professional; i am getting empty start menu.
This is normal, for we disabled the option
Move the contents of Start Menu to the new location. This option is enabled by default and it will automatically move the existing content to the new location.
At this moment, we can manually copy the files we want from the local locations.

Desktop and start menu vanished

hp mini 1000/ mdl 1151nr windows loads but i do not have desktop or icons. no start menu. how can i get my desktop back?

Hi,
Tap away at f8 as you start the PC to enter Windows Recovery Console. Use the arrows to select 'Start using last known Good Configuration' and hit enter. See if this helps. If it does, I would recommend running a full scan with your security software.
Let me know how you get on.
Best wishes,

Creating desktop shorcut and start menu entry using java

Hey Guys
I have a requirement in which i will need to install a desktop application .After installing i will need to created desktop shortcut icon and start menu entries.
I have worked very less with desktop application and hence i need some help in figuring out how to achieve this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chetan

George ,
Thanks for ur reply .Just to give you some background on this one.
We were using Java web start to do the installation and it used to take care of creating the shortcut icon and start menu entries.
The problem is that we have decided to move away from java web start and use the exe approach of installing .We wrap our JAR files in an exe and make use of Launch4j. See - launch4j.sourceforge.net/ .
The launch4j software helps in bundling all our JARs into an exe and when the exe is clicked it invokes a class present in our JAR file .However it does not create any icons because of which we will need to do that manually.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks
Chetan

Lost start menu icons and not listed in right click open with option +more.

Weird. I need help. Quicktime 7.3.0.70 only--Start menu lost it's icons in the quicktime folder. When right clicking video files, the "open with" option no longer displays quicktime as a program. And lastly, open an avi file or even mpg and the program stops responding without even getting to play the file. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times but can't seem to fix these issues. Can anyone help? Thanks. This just seemed to happen out of the blue.

I also have lost the icons for Quicktime in my start menu under Windows XP. The icons actually work when you do click them but the icons are not loaded. Everything functions fine and it's the newest version of Quicktime installed. I also have the newest version of iTunes installed. I ended up manually adding my own icons on the start menu as I've uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime several times to no avail and even attempted to flush the windows icon cache. No go. This just started happening recently.
It's not happening on my WinXP Pro laptop however, although I've yet to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes+Quicktime.
*Right-Click Open With Menu still functions properly and the icon image is appearing correctly in that menu.

Hi,
unfortunatly you cannot change the properties of Action object as you would do with JavaBeans. Instead you have to use the 'put' method.
eg.:
myAction.put(Action.SMALL_ICON, new ImageIcon(...));IMHO this was a bad decision, because it's not like the JavaBeans standard and you loose static type information. :-/
