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.

Is there a way to create a "common desktop" for all RD/TS 2012 users? (Office 2010 icons on the dekstop, for example.)

Hello! Just like the title, is there a way to create a "common desktop" for all RD/TS 2012 users?
I know how to do this using regular W7 workstations and 2008 Servers, but the "Default" folder under the USERS directory is gone and I'm not sure how to get the icons there in Windows 8, let alone Server 2012 Remote Desktop.
I've installed Office 2010 on the 2012 server, but every end user that logs in has to manually type in "Word," "Excel." "PowerPoint." etc from the metro interface, then right-click each icon to add the shortcut to the desktop.
Given the... uh.. unfamiliarity of our endusers around the computer, this really isn't the best option. What I'd like is them to log on and have all the Office icons ready and availible for them.
Any ideas?

Hi,
You can edit the local GPP and create a desktop shortcut for all users.
Reference:
Customize the default local user profile in windows Server 2012

Also, you can use CopyProfile to customize the Default User Profile.

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

New Problem creating a desktop shortcut to photoshop 2014 causes the program to break?

After getting fed up of waiting for adobe CC to finally finish buffering I thought I'd create a desktop shortcut to Photoshop (To save time). After doing this I doubled clicked on the shortcut and after 15 minutes of waiting I realized something was wrong double clicking again and watching the task manager I noticed Photoshop appear for half a second under background processes and then disappear entirely. So I then tried to launch Photoshop 2014 from Adobe CC under Installed Apps and this does the exact same thing. Both links to Photoshop now don't work and just sit there.
I would appreciate some help and I am also getting increasingly tired of ongoing problems with the software..........(I still have 30 days well 28 to cancel this subscription and simply buy a disk version of CS6)
Please help!
Or if you cant help how do i get in contact with someone at adobe?

You can't just create a short cut during the installation process. If the shortcut is not there, then it was not done installing. That's why it does not work correctly, it is still lacking an important piece of the puzzle, more commonly known as dll's. (dll is an external app that the main app polls from when needed. This on windows, I do not know what the external apps are called on a mac)
I recommend that you uninstall all of adobe's apps including the manager and if needed use the adobe cleaner to remove portions if the uninstaller fails to do so. Then restart your computer and install again. How long it take to install will depend on the size of the file, the speed of your internet connection, if using wifi, the speed of that connection, the speed of Adobe's server, how much of a load is on Adobe's server.
If you are using wifi, you can remove that bottle neck by using a direct connection with eithernet or other means ex. usb.

In IE I was able to raise site icons on the screen for quick site access but that facility does not seem to be available on Firefox

When I used IE if I was on an internet site and wanted to keep the icon on my desktop for easier future reference all I had to do was
Click File
Click 'send to'
Then choose 'desktop' and the icon for the site was on screen for easy access.
I have just moved to MF
Can I do something similar with MF?

See [[creating a desktop shortcut to a web page]].
You can also use an add-on such as [http://www.pikey.me.uk/mozilla/?addon=cs Create Shortcut] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/66/ deskCut].

Create a desktop shortcut to a website without a mouse?

Hi.
i have low vision, so i am searching for an easy way to copy an URL into an internet shortcut to the desctop/or any other folder, without the mouse.
Hopefully something that can make it possible for me to press some hotkeys in firefox, and then go to a location and press ctrl+v and an internet shortcut will be pasted there.
as a reference something like what is described in this linkk, but without the mouse
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/create-desktop-shortcut-website#firefox:win7:fx35
hope somebody have a solution
thanx.

There were already some suggestions to create a short cut, so I left out suggestions.
You would first have to copy the link to the clipboard.
If the link is in the location/address bar then this is easy (Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C).
For a link on the website this can be more difficult and you would have to use the Tab key to set focus to the link and press the button to open the right-click context menu to copy the link that way to the clipboard.
Once the link is on the clipboard it shouldn't be difficult to create a desktop shortcut.
You may have to make a copy of the Firefox desktop shortcut if you can't create an internet shortcut and add the link to its target field in the properties.

Desktop shortcut icons after 8.1.1 update

I installed the 8.1.1 update and now I have two itunes shortcut icons on desktop. However I can't delete either of them and neither will launch itunes. Also sometimes when I launch itunes from starter menu it creates a third desktop shortcut icon.

First, remove the SIM, clean its contacts with a pencil eraser, and re-insert it.
If that doesn't fix it restore your phone using iTunes on your computer.
And if that doesn't fix it your phone has a hardware problem.

Create a desktop shortcut to a website

The advice re this given at
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/create-desktop-shortcut-website?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Creating+a+desktop+shortcut+to+a+web+page
works on my HP laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium.
The same advice DOES NOT WORK on my generic desktop running Windows 7 Professional.
What do I need to do to get it to work with Windows 7 Professional?
Does the support page
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/create-desktop-shortcut-website?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Creating+a+desktop+shortcut+to+a+web+page
need to be modified to address different OS's?
Thank you.

What happens on your Windows 7 system? Do you get an error message? Mouse pointer indicating it's a no-go? Just nothing happens?
The feature should work exactly the same way, but with the changed security model, perhaps there are some special issues.

A good read. Have you done anything at all to resolve your problem. Reset? Restore?
By the way - "your products"... nobody here produced the iPhone, we are all just users. Apple is not here.

Notification "Show an envelope icon in the taskbar" for anadditional Mailbox

I am working with Outlook2010 and have an additional E-Mail Account in Outlook. Is there a setting to configure the "Show an envelope Icon in the taskbar" for the additional Mail account? I only receve the envelope icon if i receive a new E-Mail
on my Primary Mailbox?

Hi,
I tested in my lab, I could see envelope Icon in the taskbar when the primary mailbox receive new message, but there isn't envelope Icon in the taskbar if the additional mailbox receive new mails. It seems that it is by design.
Actually, we have a dedicated forum regarding the Microsoft Office, I recommend you ask this question in this forum, you can get better help there.

Can I create books for the iBookstore for iPad and iPhone using Pages?

Can I create books for the iBookstore for iPad and iPhone using Pages?

No problem, Peter. iBooks Author makes a lot of things much easier than trying to grapple with a standard epub, but it also has some big limitations, like iPad only, and ibookstore only.
EDIT It's not really suitable for something like a novel, for example, although it's great when you need lots of illustrations and movies and such.
