    Changing the Target in properties?


    i have encountered a problem in a game (spore) where a fix i have found tells me to add something to the end of the 'target'

    well when i right click on a desktop shortcut of the game and then click properties, i can see the 'target', but all it is is a light grey unclickable word "SPORE™"
    i cannot change the target because i cannot type anything in the target box!

    does anyone know why this is and how i can fix it?

    help is greatly appreciated and i hope i have posted this in the right section of the forum.

    Might need to take ownership, or run as admin. Instructions for both are in our tutorial section

My problem is that when I copied over fonts to the windows fonts and told it to replace the current font it didn't do what I wanted. For example I copied over a font with the name HS.ttf, and when I now look at the corresponding font it is called HS_1.ttf. I have a certain program that looks...
