    Hi all. I am experiencing a problem with "maintaining" a short cut. I just installed a program (finally with a NEW EXTERNAL OOD) and it worked fine with the desktop shortcut, UNTIL, I restarted the compturer. I now have a "shortcut" without an icon for the program and clicking on it does nothing. Not only is the icon gone, but ".lnk" is showing as its attribute, and, upon right click I am not shown "run as administrator" or any of the usual choices. I am shown, "send " to, etc. I have had this happen with some other programs, also. Usually I went into explore and found the program and opened the file and clicked on the ".exe" and it would launch the program. Even this tactic is not opening this particular program. Do you all have any ideas as to what is going on and how to prevent it in the future? You all are to be commended for your generosity in helping so many people fix so many interesting problems. Just so you know. I am glad to know that I am not the only one who can mess up a computer just by starting it up. ( and you know who you are;))
