Creating a Windows 7 OS desktop short cut for gmail with Firefox as browser, not internet explorer

I have an HP laptop that originally had Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS. I recently upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit OS. I want to generate a desktop shortcut for gmail that uses Firefox as the browser not internet explorer (8). If I use IE 8 as the brower and enter in gmail.com, gmail opens. I can right click on that page and create a gmail desktop short cut with IE 8 as the browser. If I try the same steps using Firefox as the opened browser, I can't create a desktop short cut by right clicking...it is not an option. I can't make Firefox my default browser for everything as my work programs/shortcuts require IE. Again, how do I create a direct gmail desktop shortcut that uses Firefox as the browser, not IE 8, when IE 8 has to be the default browser?

You could create a shortcut to open Firefox with a specific site using a command line argument.
You can copy the shortcut that you use to open Firefox, then right-click on it and choose '''Properties'''. On the shortcut tab, you will see the target, it will look something like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
You can add gmail.com to this shortcut so it looks like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" gmail.com

My desktop short cuts stopped changing to company logos and just have a firefox generic icon. What happened?

My Skype desktop icon has a Skype registered logo.
My Facebook icon is a generic Firefox logo. It would automatically choose a company created icon if one was available but stopped doing this.

Did you previously use IE to create a desktop shortcut?
That doesn't work with Firefox unfortunately.
If you create an internet shortcut by dragging the website favicon on the desktop then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser. 
If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties). 
You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".

ITunes windows short cuts outside of application? / MCE remote?

I've always wanted to know if there was a way to get shortcuts for iTunes from anywhere on windows provided that itunes is running? This is possible on a Mac and when using windows media player / media centre & a media centre remote?
Currently, my Media centre remote works with iTunes, but only when it is the active application (as is the case with shortcuts).
What would be ideal is if i could use my Media centre remote to control iTunes from any application.
Using Win 7 & iTunes 10.5
Thanks in advance.

Same problem with MCE remote... I have a Windows 7 x64 based computer setup soley for the purpose of media consumption. I use Windows Media Center for HDTV over Digital Cable (via Ceton InfiniTV with a CableCard) and iTunes for music on the PC itself as well as via two AirPort Express devices for whole house music. Every version of iTunes before 10.5 worked great. For reference, I leave iTunes running 24/7 to enable the ability to use the Remote app on my iPhone, this way I can play music from my phone whenever I like and there's no need to go to the media PC to open iTunes first. In any case, as soon as I upgraded to version 10.5 I too had the remote control issue within Media Center and the navigation controls on the remote control ceased to function. I had to close iTunes in order to use the remote control again, which of course defeats the purpose of using it with the Remote app on the iPhone. Thankfully, I was able to locate iTunes version 10.3.1 online for Windows 7 64-bit and after reverting, everything works perfectly again. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Does iTunes 10.5.1 resolve this issue??

Each time I open firefox it creates a desktop short cut, which I then delete. Also, a window pop-ups asking for permission to run helper.exe. If I choose "NO" the shortcut is not created. How can I stop this?

Windows 7, the Firefox profile is an encrypted TrueCrypt file which is open. The file appears as a Local Disk

There has been a security update of the Flash Player and the current version is 10.1 r85 , so you are two versions behind (previous was 10.1 r82).

HT1343 how can i crate a short cut to Network control ?

Hello
i want to create a desktop short cut to my network settings? very easy on a PC seeems impossible on a Mac!!!
any ideas please.

You can't always do things the same way as you would on a PC.
Press the key combination command-space to bring up a Spotlight search. Start to type the word "Network." The Network preference pane should appear near the top of the search results.
If you need to change your network settings often, there's probably a better way to do it.

Is there a way to make a keyboard short cut to iTunes?

Please inform me on the procedures necessary to allow a short cut in opening iTunes.

I agree that a shortcut to iTunes is a rather moot issue, but as you see I did discover what may be a bug in that I can assign a shortcut to iTunes but it does not work.
I actually have the opposite issue - I don't like iTunes and hardly ever use it and every time I DL an mp3 and select it incorrectly, it opens under iTunes, it takes a while before I can get rid of it.
One day I will have to check my defaults and remove iTunes from the list entirely.

I cannot open itunes on windows. It keeps saying short cut has changed or moved no longer working properly. I have tried everything. can someone please help. I have a older version of windows running. I cannot even do a repair on my computer

Short Cut for Ratings in iTunes?

Hi,
I'm looking to find out the shortcut on how to give my songs a rating without having to select the stars each time with my mouse. Is there a short cut like there is like in iPhoto where you click command and the number and it rates it for you.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mrsoopy

There's an add on program called Synergy, which I've used which will allow you to set keyboard shortcuts for ratings. There are also probably a variety of other programs that do the same thing. Try a search at www.versiontracker.com
In the end, I found it was easier to just use the iTunes icon in the dock rather than try to remember shortcuts, keep another piece of software up to date, etc.

HT1926 When I click on the iTunes icon or iTunes from programs I get this: the item 'itunes.exe that this short cut refers to has been changed or moved.

When I click on the iTunes icon or iTunes from programs I get this: the item 'itunes.exe that this short cut refers to has been changed or moved. So this short cut will no longer work.

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

How do i delete short cut on desktop

Some how create a short cut on desktop and it shows on everything. How can I delete it?

it will not move and does not reflect option to move to trash
It looks like a folder with application symbol with arrow on lower left corner. Shows through every page

The home page short cut with the little house on it is gone with Firefox 4. You can only go home with the History feature or reload the page from desktop shortcut. A big shortcoming in my opinion.

Hey guys..you used to have a home page shortcut on your toolbar in the past. A little picture of a "house" Now it is gone, gone. The only way I can get to the start page is with the "History" tool or going back to the icon on my desktop. Right now, I would rather go back to the older Firefox that had a Home page short cut. '''''''''ha'''''''''

The "Home" button was moved to the right-side of the Navigation Toolbar. 
The "Reload" and "Stop" button are on right-side of the Location bar, combined into the same space as the "Go" button; whichever button is appropriate at any time is what is displayed. The "Go"button when you are typing in the Location bar, the "Stop" button when a page is loading, and the "Reload" button when a page is fully loaded.
If you want any or all of those buttons in their former location, as they were in Firefox 3.6, you can Customize your Toolbars and put them where you want them.

I can't find the "send a short cut to the desktop" request. where is it?

In IE, under "file", there's a "send a short cut to desk top" .
I can't find how to do this with Firefox.... how do you send a short cut to a page to your desk top??????

Keeping iTunes Desktop conflicts to a minimum – Series 1(Reposting # 2) Fir

Note: If you don’t take the time from your busy schedule to address these suggestions being provided in this and future upcoming series, then by all mean continue with what you were doing before and continue to experience the frustrations and problems. The series is not meant to be a cure-all for the problems you are having. But the information will go a long way to correcting and improving a lot of issues that you may be having with your system. Think About It !!!!!!!!!!
In reviewing this forum I see a lot of folks here are having difficulties with running iTunes on the desktop and using the features available within the program. As far as information is concerned relating to iTunes conflicts, “the possible basic root causes” that can contribute to the conflicts are lacking in the discussions. The conflict discussion that I am presenting here in this first series that have been discussed many times before in various forums boards elsewhere. But for some reason it dos not seem to be sticking well in people’s minds when dealing with computers at this point in time. Therefore, I thought this would be a good opportunity to start running a series of articles here to help those who are interested in cutting the problems down to a minimum and to try and help you understand why the conflicts are occurring. If you are like me you want to enjoy your music without having to go through a lot of hassle to reach that enjoyment. But if you want to correct the problem you are having I will need to guide you through a little bit of hassle to improve your performance. These articles will be primarily directed to the learning advanced users and to those who have a complete set of available Recovery and Applications/Drivers CD’s that was provided with your system. The following is critical. If your system just came with one instillation disk I strongly advise against using some of this information. IF YOU DO, proceed at your own risk especially if you have an OEM system. If you are NOT an advanced user you can still learn from this material.
My objective in this opening series as I stated in my opening remarks is to address the possible root causes that can and will interfere with programs and iTunes. Before I go any further let me provide a summary of my upcoming series objectives:
1) Conflicts – Current series
2) HDD Formatting – “Main key to reducing conflicts”
3) Security
4) iTunes Setup and Firewall configuration
All four of the above categories will play a vital role in reducing the conflicts. Now lets begin the series for those who are interested in learning.
1)Open Ports – WARNING!!!! OPEN PORTS ARE A SURE FIRE INVITATION TO PROBLEMS. Also, it is a “potential security hazard” to the local machine in question. Therefore I strongly suggest visiting one of the following links for a free online Port Scan. www.broadbandreports.com when you reach the site look for the Tools tab. www.sygate.com There are many other places you can visit but I would use caution because of the hidden dangers that could be involved if you don’t know a whole lot about the scan provider. I would stick to the most popular scan sites if possible. I suggest also going to www.microsoft.com and typing in the following search term: “Ports”. The search results will yield you a wide verity of information relating to port issues. Or, use your favorite search engine to research the issue. The bottom line is this, it is very important and relevant to understand the importance of protecting yourself in this area for it can and will at times have a system wide impact on the local machine. So now is a good time to start learning how to lock your system up to the outside world as much as you can if you have not already done so. Question? You would not leave your home without locking it up first, Right? Get my point? Throughout my series I will be revisiting this subject and discuss other aspects relating to ports issues.
2)Virus/Spyware Programs - Unfortunately we live in a world today where people have hidden motives and agendas. Others are just out to cause trouble for others. The reason that I am bringing up these two programs is because they are well known programs to cause conflicts. Even though both of these programs is a necessity in our every day tasks lets break each one down and briefly discuss what we can do to reduce the conflicts. Virus Programs: I know you may have heard it before but I am going to reiterate it again that it is imperative that you keep this program up to date. This will be just one part of your front line defense in protecting your computer. Virus Programs/Firewalls: The virus programs coming out today are multi-functional packages now. Example: Spyware programs included, etc. But lets focus our attention at the firewall level for just a minute. When I run my virus program I usually do the following, I will disengage the Spyware portion of the program. I will discuss a little bit more about Spyware programs soon. The point that I am trying to make is “Configuration”. In order to reduce the conflicts it is important that you understand the program that you are running. At times you may have to go back and configure your firewall in order for the program to properly work as well. Therefore, check with your program vender as well as your firewall vender to ensure that you are properly configured. And finally, Spyware programs. As I just stated, I usually disengage the Spyware portion when I setup my virus program. I do it for a specific reason(s). 1) I run my own independent program and, 2) I have found that the Spyware programs that are included in the multi-functional packages are just not effective. I am currently running Ad-Aware SE Plus. 3) Running two Spyware programs can and will cause conflicts.
3)Firewalls - Firewalls can be and often is a source of conflicts as I had briefly mentioned in the Virus program section. This will be another important aspect of your defense measures. You may ask, “What does this have to do with iTunes?” Well my friend it is important for configuration purposes again as I stated in the virus program section. When you listen to the radio or purchase music from the store you are dealing with what is called a live stream. To ensure the integrity of the live stream “Proper Firewall Configuration” is the key to maintaining that integrity. During my iTunes Setup and Firewall Configuration Series I will go into further details on this subject matter. If you are running the Windows Firewall and another firewall in one of the multi- functional packages that I spoke off, disengage it now. The probability of conflicts occurring will be high for sure.
4)Screen Savers and Tray Programs – Screen Savers is another well-known source of conflicts. If you are going to use a Screen Saver, then I suggest doing the following: 1) If you are going to spend a period of time at your PC, disengage the Screen Saver, and 2) If you are going to leave your PC running while you go to lunch or what ever, create a short cut from the Control Panel to the Desktop so that you can engage or disengage the Screen Saver at will. You will be better off in the end. Tray Programs If you are running iTunes products it is also a good ideal to shut down any programs that are not necessary to keep the conflicts to a minimum. Especially if you going to copy music to your iPod or iTunes player.
5)Internet Connection – In this last subject of this opening series I would like to briefly touch upon your actual Internet Connection. This can also be a source of conflict. If you are a Bell South user and have inside line filters on your phone lines as well as fax lines I suggest you consider getting rid of them. Then contact Bell South and have them come out to your home and install a line splitter on your line at the point of entry into your home. There is no charge for doing this. Fax Machines: If you have one and it is sharing your phone line I recommend considering putting it on a dedicated line, if you can afford it. Bellsouth will work with you in spreading out your payments on your phone bill. Once you have done this you will notice an immediate improvement in your connect.
In closing, everything that has been presented here for your consideration I have personally gone through. To date, as a result of my efforts I rarely have any problems. I am currently running the new update 7.0 When I do have a problem I can quickly pin point the problem and resolve the issue. Also, everything that has been presented here can cause a conflict by either direct or indirect means. Example of how a conflict can affect iTunes products: lets take the iPod for example, either one of the above can cause a conflict in such a way as to keep you from properly transferring your songs from the iTunes player to the iPod itself. This is why you don’t want to miss my next upcoming series.
In my HDD Formatting Series, I will show you how to properly lay out a hard drive in a way that will cut down the conflicts. Because of the amount of information that I will be providing, I may have to break it into two to three series on the subject. I can guarantee you though if you follow my suggestions in the series you will notice an improvement in your system. The principles of this information can be applied to all connections. Print these series off and save them as a reference points for yourself or others. I look forward to seeing you in my next series.
