nakira Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 (edited) Make a normal shortcut to IExplore.exe.Then add the url after the program name and you can add a comment and change icon. Edited August 11, 2005 by nakira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Thank's man, that's what I was looking for. Ops, I deleted the original Windows Catalog link. I want to remove it in my cleanup. WHAT IS THE ORIGINAL LINK named? Is it a .lnk or .url? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nakira Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 The original is 'Windows Catalog.lnk'The icon is from %SystemRoot%\system32\moricons.dllStart in: %Homedrive%%Homepath%Comment: Find products made for Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark007 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Here is the original ... on my computer it doesnt even work.I get an error message: There was a problem sending the command to the program.Which is fine by me, because i remove this through the uA process anyway.Shark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berrick Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 noobie question.... why would you want to do this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Thank's guys. I will definatly remove this annoying lnk. It does not work for me at Norwegian XP Pro either. It links to some "Page cannot be found" and a bogus URL.I'd like to remove the "Angi programtilgang og standardprogrammer" as it is called in Norwegian (Program access and standard programs) also, but it makes the Start-menu nice and wide Any way to through registry or whatever set the width of the start-menu? (Sorry if it's a bit off the track) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
