Icon issue with Advanced Uninstaller's "pinned" shortcut
hello again Brink!
I'm trying to fix an annoyance with Advanced Uninstaller's "pinned" shortcut. It's a pinned control panel shortcut in the start menu
A) the icon's missing and b) the link can't be unpinned.
I've tried searching this thread and the other linked (fresh out the oven: ) alas no mention of control panel's pinned items.
One interesting thing I read on advanced uninstall FAQ
Anyway, do you have any suggestions on where/how I can check for the cause of this "broken shortcut"?
- Why "Pin to" is missing on Revo Uninstaller's shortcut and cannot be pinned to Windows 7 taskbar?
No Pin to option available in Windows 7 taskbar
No Pin to option is available on the shortcut
The reason for the problem is that Windows 7 does not allow pinning programs containing "install" keyword in their name. You can solve the problem by making a shortcut on your desktop of Revo Uninstaller and change the shortcut's name to just "Revo" or something else, but the name should not contain "install" as Revo Uninstaller Pro does!
I've glanced at JumpListsView and ShellExView and tried searching the reg....
The icon appears correctly in start menu but not in control panel...
I think it's a 32-bit app on a 64-bit OS issue... but not sure where to go from here.
Suggestions, as always, most welcome
