How to add shortcuts to user Start Menu and Taskbar or Desktop with using Microsoft Office 2013 Config file.

Hello,
How can i add the shortcuts for Office 2013 feature (Word, excel, ext) to the users taskbar or desktop with using config.xml file while installing the Microsoft Office 2013 from SCCM?
I know how to do that with OCT, but i have another problem if i use OCT. So i have to do it with Config.file, but i don't know which code can i write on config.xml file to create shortcut on desktop or taskbar...
Regards,

Hi
There is a known issue about
changing the shortcut location for an Office 2013 application:
When you try to change the shortcut locations for Office 2013 applications in the Office Customization Tool (OCT), you receive the following error message:
Invalid start in folder. Please try again.
Then, you add the Start in location for Office 2013 and run a customized installation. When you double-click the shortcuts that are displayed on the desktop, Configure shortcuts does
not work and you receive the following error message: 
Sorry, we couldn’t find your file. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?
To work around this issue, type a single open bracket ([) in the Start in
field.  
In addition, refer to the link below on "Configure shortcuts" in OCT:

    Hello, I am kindly seeking your help.  How do I add the shortcuts for Word 2013, Excel 2013, and PowerPoint 2013 to the users Start Menu and taskbar when installing MS Office 2013 from a network installation point? I am using Office2013
    OCT to customize setup and deploying MS Office to Windows 7 x64bit clients. I tried [StartMenuFolder] and [AppData], but they did not work.

    Hi,
    This should be very much possible.
    Please see:
    https://glassfish.dev.java.net/nonav/javaee5/amx/javadoc/index.html
    Once you've got the domain-root, you should traverse and get a named "config",
    using getConfigConfigMap("server-config") method and then get the
    SecurityConfig out of that. Once you get the Security Config, you should get
    the default realm using getDefaultRealm method and then it should be
    possible for you to use addUser.
    Please let me know if it helps.

  • How to add shortcut files to the Teststand workspace

    I am deploying my test stand application using TS deployment utility. At the end I need three four icons / shortcuts to launch the operator interface with different seq file entry points. I have created manually the shortcuts and it is working fine. How do I add these icons to my installer. I tried to add these shortcuts into the workspace. But it is adding the exe instead of the shortcut.
    How do I add these shortcuts to the installer / create these shortcuts during installation?
    Thanks
    Senthilnathan A.

    Hi,
    I found a workaround that could work for you.
    You can write a post.bat file to copy the shortcut created for your program item to wherever you want.
    The only thing you have to do is to create the windows start menu item for your operator interface and include a post.bat file in your installer directory to copy the *.lnk file to the desired location.
    The Post.bat file is executed immediatly after the installer finishes.
    I am attaching a simple installer that installs the CVI simple operator interface and creates a shortcut for it in the Windows Start menu and on the Desktop.
    I am only copying the file from the start menu to the desktop in the post file.
    I hope it helps.

  • QuickTime appends itself to start menu and shows recent files

    Everytime I play a movie Quicktime adds itself to my start menu, and shows recent movies when the mouse is dragged over the icon (despite that I have chosen not to save recent movies in my preferences).  Any suggestions to stop this?  Thank you.

    Hi John,
    This issue is related to the programs package we installed.
    • An installation package contains all of the information that the Windows Installer requires to install or uninstall an application or product and to run the setup user interface.
    • The developer can specify installation context, and based on these properties, Windows Installer automatically redirects the values of folder properties and registrations to locations.
    • The shortcut is added to the profile by these context
    We could right click these file and could find out they are the shortcut mentioned above.
    For more information about Windows Installer, please refer to the following article.

  • When I'm using a browser (like Safari) in Yosemite, how can I shrink it and share my desktop with other applications?

    I have an iMac, and after installing Yosemite (OS 10.10), all my browsers (like Safari) no longer share the screen with other applications, like Word or even Calculator.  How can I shrink Safari (or any browser) and share my desktop with other applications?

    When I'm using any browser (at the moment, it's Safari), I am unable to resize the window.  The browser BECOMES my entire desktop.  And if I open another application, suddenly the browser vanishes to the right, so I can only see the other app.  AND my dock disappears into a solid black space below the screen, which I can penetrate with my curser (after dragging the curser back and forth above and below the black space until the dock eventually reappears.  But if I select any app in the browser to open, then Safari vanishes instantly to the right of the screen.  I've tried to resize Safari (and Firefox and Chrome) by moving the curser to the bottom right of the browser, but that old standby doesn't seem to work anymore.  The browser takes up all of the screen, except for a small portion of the top, where my curser can reveal Safari's old menus, and the bottom of the screen, which is entirely black until I can locate my dock by dunking the curser up and down in the black ooze.
    I really want the old convenience of my Mac, where several programs can open side by side, but Yosemite seems to have precluded that possibility.  What can I do?

    Yes, mission control threw everything across the screen (which is way beyond anything I could figure out), but the real answer I needed came from Apple Tech Support, which I finally called, and I learned about the two arrows in the top righthand corner, when I held the cursor there, which turned blue and resized and released the browser from total domination of the screen.  Those two, opposite-pointing arrows allowed me to shrink the browser and let other applications be seen on the desktop.  But thank you for extending a helpful tip, which I can use another time.

  • How can i remove the jump list (with "frequent", "tasks") that comes with firefox shortcut in the start menu?

    im using windows 7. when i tried adding a firefox shortcut to the start menu (above the recently opened programs) it added some kind of a side menu that stores the frequent sites i visited, and have some "tasks".
    i dont want it and i want to remove it.
    plz help.

    Try to disable some browser.taskbar.*enable prefs on the about:config page.
    browser.taskbar.lists.enabled;true
    browser.taskbar.lists.frequent.enabled;true
    browser.taskbar.lists.maxListItemCount;7
    browser.taskbar.lists.recent.enabled;false
    browser.taskbar.lists.tasks.enabled;true
    browser.taskbar.previews.enable : Tools > Options > Tabs > "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar"
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
    *Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

  • How Do I Change the Language of Start Menu and Modern Apps After I Installed Windows? Applying Language Pack only Localizes Traditional Applications?

    Howdy,
    I installed Windows 10 Technical Preview with original language settings for the US region.
    No that I need my Windows localized to Espanol - Spanish.
    I type "language' in Cortana, select Add language to this device and click Add a language on the Region & language.
    Then I select added language and click Set as primary.
    After the restart I see that while Windows Explorer is displayed in Spanish, Start menu is displayed in English (including app sections such as Explore Windows), as well as Modern apps that have retained their English names (such as Mail).
    I even set the location to Spain in regional settings (although I didn't like the idea, as I want to browse the US market). To no avail.
    How do I change the language of the Start menu and modern apps?
    Thank you.
    Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

    Okay, I ran the in-place upgrade and it worked!
    What I did:
    1. Downloaded and attached Espanol edition of Windows Setup ISO.
    2. Started setup.exe from that ISO.
    TIP: If need be, you can downgrade your installation of Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview to Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview by changing two registry values, EditionID and ProductName. You may use the following registry file on Windows 10 Enterprise
    Technical Preview:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
    "EditionID"="Professional"
    "ProductName"="Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview"
    Import these settings into registry and start setup wizard from the Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview setup CD. Voila! Windows will offer upgrade of your current setup of Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview to Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview with
    saving all your settings and applications!
    The only thing that wasn't localized are the new app sections. I still see Explore Windows and Everyday apps. Probably, these UI strings haven't yet been translated.
    Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

  • How to Add Active Directory user to Admin Role

    Hi All,
    I am trying to figure out how to add a AD user to the Admin Role..
    I am connected to AD and can see the user (myself), however, when I try to add myself to the admin role, it says user not found.
    I go to Security Realms > myreals > Roles and Policies > Global Roles > Roles > Admin > View Role Condition.
    I see that the Administrators Group is already added. Now I click "add Conditions" and select "User" from the Predicate List and type in the user " Doe' John".
    On the next screen I get "user: John or Dow" does not exist.
    Another option could be to add the user to the Administrator group, but I couldnt figure out how to do that as well. When I navigate to the user under Users or Groups, I dont see an option to add that user to the Administrator group.
    Is it that you can only add users created in Weblogic to the Admin group?
    Any help on this will be very appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I think I got it. I had to add the AD group the user is part of to the Admin role.

  • How do I select "Start" menu and choose "Control Panel"?

    I am working a a problem with the software on a Canon digital camera. My instructions from Canon Support are to:
    1.Select my START menu and choose CONTROL Panel.
    How do I do that? I have Mountain Lion OS.
    Thanks for any help.

    Those are instructions for Windows.  The equivalent action is to go to the Apple menu (left end of Menu Bar at the top of the screen) and select System Preferences.
    However, that may not help with your problem, because the steps after "1" will be different on a Mac (for whatever it's telling you do to for Windows).  It may help if you explained the actual problem "with the software on Canon digital camera."

  • Energy Management software keeps making shortcuts in the Start Menu

    I just recently reformatted my laptop and installed Windows 7 Ultimate. I got the drivers from my laptop model's download page in the Lenovo support website, and everything was working fine - except for when the Lenovo Energy Management software would keep making shortcuts in the Start Menu every time I reboot the system.
    I had my Start Menu organized, created folders to categorize my apps, so it's really annoying when a folder I already deleted pops up every time I start my laptop. Why does it happen? Is there a fix for it?

    Hi Pommy,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    I’m sorry to hear that a shortcut is automatically getting created, I would suggest you to re-install the LEM (Lenovo Energy Management) in the computer and while installing the driver right click on the downloaded file and select “Run as administrator” option to get it installed without any error.
    Do post us back if the issue persists.
    Best Regards

  • How to remove Toshiba Assist from start menu?

    http://www.imagemule.com/uploads/untitledaigw.png
    anyone?
    How can I remove the icon?

    Hi
    I have checked the screen shot and it seems that you use the Windows XP Start menu and not the Classic Start menu.
    Please click right on the green Start button and select Properties.
    Then the window Taskbar and Start Menu Properties should appear.
    Then switch to the tab Start menu and press the Customize button.
    There you could try to clean the list of the programs
    Please also check the Advanced tab and the Start menu items list.
