Photoshop CC not opening from desktop icon

Photoshop CC installed on PC running Windows 7 and appears as app pinned to task bar.  The application will open normally when opened via Lightroom photo editing, but when attempting to open from the task bar, it just brings up  dailogue box, which shows it is installed and up to date, but nowhere to click to launch.  Right clicking and 'run as administrator' brings me to the same dailogue box.

Problem solved.

It sounds like that's the adobe creative cloud application instead the photoshop cc shortcut.
Is the icon red?
If you go to your Start>All Programs menu, do you see the photoshop cc shortcuts near the top of the menu?

  • Firefox will not open from desktop icons

    Hi peeps: have been solving an adware problem by resetting firefox on and off for 12 months. Now I canonly open it in task manager...shortcut icons/ start bar won't work. Any tips much appreciated

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    :[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • Application Not Launching from Desktop Icon

    With every new release our jars change from say jarA-release1.jar to jarA-release2.jar etc. We don't use any version based JNLP download, hence the new jars are downloaded based on the last modified date. When we move from release 1 to release 2, customers launch the application from Desktop icon and get the new jars downloaded. But when they logout and try to launch the application again from desktop, it fails because the desktop icon still references the old cache. Any suggestions please?

  • PDF FILES WILL NOT OPEN FROM DESKTOP

    ADOBE READER WILL NOT OPEN A PDF FILE FROM THE DESKTOP ON MY MAC PRO.
    It works when opened in Safari but I get the following messages when trying to open from the desktop.
    This started with the MT LION upgrade. I did down;oad the latest Adobe Reader. See next image.  THX, Wally

    HEY - THE VALIUM WORKED!
    I found this on an old Nov 2012 discussion AND IT WORKS.......
    Do not do a "save as" like I was doing - SAVE FROM THE ACTUAL PDF DOCUMENT.....

    Re: can't save PDF documents with safari 
    Nov 19, 2012 11:50 AM (in response to Magnus.LPA)
    Deleting the files "AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin" and "AdobePDFViewer.plugin" worked BUT then Safari couldn't display pdf files embedded on web pages.
    I found putting "AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin" back fixed the display problem.
    What I didn't know was that now when viewing a pdf, there is the pdf menu that becomes visible when mousing to the bottom of a page on the displayed pdf. Using it instead of the old Safari method for saving pdf's on web pages solved my problem.
    Thanks to C D R (above) for the tip!
    I'm on Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    YAHOOOOOOOO - THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR INPUT.....

  • Itunes wont open from desktop icon or anwhere else

    ive installed recent itunes and it still wont open. ive repaired itunes and it still wont work. i continue getting an error message. i dont want to lose my music so i really dont want to uninstall.any advice would be great!

    Can you post the error message in full.
    Also try to start QUicktime. iTunes can't work without it. Does Quicktime start and work normally? If not describe what happens and give any error message in full.
    Then head for your control panel and try to start QUicktime preferences. If you get an error message post it in full.
    If your QUicktime works normally, then this Apple help is a good start for troubleshooting launch failures.:

  • Firefox will not open from any icons or shortcuts. I do not know how to fix it. Help, please. firefox 3.6.14, windows vista home premium. Thank you, dustyantique

    This is not a new download, it has been working well for longer than a year.

    Thank you Cor-el, for your help. Not being the smartest pup in the litter I found it a bit overwhelming but there is a glimmer of success. I went to the Mozilla website and downloaded the latest version. In doing so the update seems to have corrected the problem. Again, thank you for your help. dustyantique

  • Unable to open my Photoshop Elements from desktop icon.

    Unable to access my desktop icon for Photoshop Elements 7 that was working prior to some minor repair I had done with my computer.  How can I access my Photoshop other than by the desktop icon?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

      Try making a new desktop icon for the Editor and delete the old one.
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New à Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Editor application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    C: à Program Files à Adobe à Photoshop Elements 7.0
    Within the Photoshop Elements 7 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (with the icon)
    Select that file and click Next.
    Then click Finish.

  • edited by host HARD DRIVE ICON WILL NOT OPEN ON DESKTOP WHEN CLICK

    my HD will not open on desktop when i click on it. For 4 years i had no problem on this every.
    why does this happen now?
    what is wrong with the icon?
    could my HD start becoming bad?
    what are some signs that i should be "aware of" is this one?

    You might try booting from DVD or another drive and running Disk Utility and Disk Warrior.
    Or Single Users Mode (command s on startup) and follow on-screen instruction command
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    to repair your boot drive
    ... or a Safe Boot with shift key held down.
    Corrupt prefs, directory, could be a number of small or major things.
    But, in any case, make sure you have backups, and a bootable backup clone, maybe an emergency boot drive as well (install OS X on another drive if you don't have one now).

    Newly installed Acrobat will NOT open from Creative Cloud app on Desktop using Windows 7 Pro - what's the problem?

    the cc desktop app is used to install and update cc programs (and a few other thinigs).  but that does not include 'opening' the installed programs.
    click your start button or your program files directory to find the acrobat executable to launch acrobat (and any of your other apps, adobe or otherwise).

  • My preferences will not open from the apple menu.

    My preferences will not open from the apple menu.  Time machine will not open either.  I've tried reinstalling Lion, to no avail.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    I have exactly the same issue. After FF upgraded on its own to version 5, it won't open from start menu, taskbar, desktop icon, or even by pressing firefox.exe in program files directory. It does so by pressing a link at msn messenger, inside Outlook etc.
    Disabling all addons, didn't help. Moreover, I can't start FF in safe mode or start profile manager (Start > Run> firefox.exe -ProfileManager).
