freightgod Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 1st puzzlement:I have purchased and successfully installed and activated Windows Vista Ultimate. When I "right click">drag>"create shortcut here" from a file my shortcuts have a suffix added: " - shortcut" :This happened with a previous install of Vista as well so I thought it was normal behavior, like the "Shortcut to" prefix in XP. I've been searching all day for a solution but I'm not even sure this is default behavior as I can find no references to this happening.Is this normal? Does anyone know how I can kill the suffix from occuring?2nd puzzlement:I have set up 4 user accounts for my family. All the icons on their desktops look normal until I hover over them, at which point a checkbox appears on the icon overlay. The box becomes checked when I actually click on the icon:This seems weird and wacky. Is it also normal? Is anyone else experiencing this and does anyone know if this can be changed?3rd puzzlement:I would love to put a "Switch User" icon on my desktop so that I can stay logged in but leave my pc at the logon screen for the next user. I have found instructions and created a "lock user" shortcut but that doesn't allow other users to log in. Helpeth me please!I've been Googling all day on these three quandaries without any result. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
